Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched_clock: Round the frequency reported to nearest rather than down
Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2022 12:47:20 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2204240055590.9383@angie.orcam.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2204211556270.9383@angie.orcam.me.uk>

We currently round the frequency reported for clock sources down, which 
gives misleading figures, e.g.:

I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999480Hz
clocksource: dec-ioasic: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 76452008078 ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 24MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85901132779ns
MIPS counter frequency 59998512Hz
clocksource: MIPS: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 31855130776 ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 59MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35792281591ns

Rounding to nearest seems more adequate:

I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999664Hz
clocksource: dec-ioasic: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 76451445358 ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 25MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85900499947ns
MIPS counter frequency 59999728Hz
clocksource: MIPS: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 31854485176 ns
sched_clock: 32 bits at 60MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35791556599ns
