How often is that time updated? Is there some documentation whree I
can understand how this works? I confess to be pretty ignorant about
the details of how our time keeping systems work inside Linux.
Same question for sched_clock(); what are its guarantees, both in
terms of granularity and cost of overhead. Is there any comprehensive
documentation that I should be reading?
Thanks,
