Greetings.

I have scoured the list archives and worked with Google and HotBot, but have
yet to find a nice whitepaper that explains how timing is kept inside a
UNIX/Linux kernel with respect to wall time, jiffies, RTCs, etc. I have a
good handle on the concepts, but would like to impart this knowledge to
someone else and was looking for a resource or two. Anyone? TIA.

-Steve
