| H A D | Kconfig | c37e85c1 Tue Dec 06 21:36:10 CST 2022 Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> clocksource: Loosen clocksource watchdog constraints
Currently, MAX_SKEW_USEC is set to 100 microseconds, which has worked
reasonably well. However, NTP is willing to tolerate 500 microseconds
of skew per second, and a clocksource that is good enough for NTP should
be good enough for the clocksource watchdog. The watchdog's skew is
controlled by MAX_SKEW_USEC and the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US
Kconfig option. However, these values are doubled before being associated
with a clocksource's ->uncertainty_margin, and the ->uncertainty_margin
values of the pair of clocksource's being compared are summed before
checking against the skew.
Therefore, set both MAX_SKEW_USEC and the default for the
CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option to 125 microseconds of
skew per second, resulting in 500 microseconds of skew per second in
the clocksource watchdog's skew comparison.
