[PATCH RFC 0/1] introduce a syscall for posix clock tuning

From: Richard Cochran
Date: Mon Aug 23 2010 - 04:15:52 EST


Recently on lkml, we discussed adding a new syscall, with the
motivation of supporting PTP clocks. Here is my suggestion how this
should look like. I would like to get some agreement about this new
interface before proceeding with the PTP stuff itself.

Thanks,
Richard
