From c2cda2a5bda9f1369c9d1ab54a20571c13cf2743 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miroslav Lichvar Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 10:42:47 -0800 Subject: timekeeping/ntp: Don't align NTP frequency adjustments to ticks When the timekeeping multiplier is changed, the NTP error is updated to correct the clock for the delay between the tick and the update of the clock. This error is corrected in later updates and the clock appears as if the frequency was changed exactly on the tick. Remove this correction to keep the point where the frequency is effectively changed at the time of the update. This removes a major source of the NTP error.
