From: Abhilash Jindal Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 16:01:22 +0000 (-0400) Subject: cpufreq: speedstep-lib: Use monotonic clock X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=72e624de6e6f0d5a638fbc23842aa76ae048e9e7;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git cpufreq: speedstep-lib: Use monotonic clock Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to user setting the time or due to NTP. Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two timestamps. Signed-off-by: Abhilash Jindal Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
