timecounter: keep track of accumulated fractional nanoseconds 2014-12-30T23:29:27+00:00 Richard Cochran richardcochran@gmail.com 2014-12-21T18:47:06+00:00 2eebdde6528a722fbf8e2cffcf7aa52cbb4c2de0 The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field that accumulates the low order bits.

Let it live in its own file. This will help isolate the timecounter users from the clocksource users in the source tree.
