From: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> When TSC is stable perf/sched clock is based on it. However the conversion from cycles to nanoseconds is not as accurate as it could be. Because CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR is 10, the accuracy is +/- 1/2048
The change is to calculate the maximum shift that results in a multiplier that is still a 32-bit number. For example all frequencies over 1 GHz will have a shift of 32, making the accuracy of the conversion +/- 1/(2^33). That is achieved by using the 'clocks_calc_mult_shift()' function.
