2.6 kernel timer still incorrect

21 Aug 2004

      SUSE 9.1, kernel 2.6.5-7.104-default

In 13 days of uptime ps reports time 3 minutes in the future:

uptime; ps u | grep ps | grep -v grep | awk '{print $9;}'; date

 10:35am  up 13 days  0:54,  3 users,  load average: 0.14, 0.15, 0.13
10:38
Sat Aug 21 10:35:49 PDT 2004

Kernel 2.4.21-231-smp on SUSE 9.0 does not seem to have this problem:

 10:37am  up 10 days  2:49,  11 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
10:37
Sat Aug 21 10:37:48 PDT 2004

Is this problem specific to SUSE 2.6 kernel or it is a feature of 2.6 kernel?

Can anybody try it on kernel.org kernel?

Thanks, -Kastus
