* This is the frequency of the timer used for Linux's timer interrupt.
|
|
* The value should be defined as accurate as possible or under certain
|
|
* circumstances Linux timekeeping might become inaccurate or fail.
|
|
*
|
|
* For many system the exact clockrate of the timer isn't known but due to
|
|
* the way this value is used we can get away with a wrong value as long
|
|
* as this value is:
|
|
*
|
|
* - a multiple of HZ
|
|
* - a divisor of the actual rate
|
|
*
|
|
* 500000 is a good such cheat value.
|
|
*
|
|
* The obscure number 1193182 is the same as used by the original i8254
|
|
* time in legacy PC hardware; the chip unfortunately also found in a
|
|
* bunch of MIPS systems. The last remaining user of the i8254 for the
|
|
* timer interrupt is the RM200; it's a very standard system so there is
|
|
* no reason to make this a separate architecture.
