Unofficially, clock=pmtmr should at least reduce the amount of lost ticks.
I doubt it will help on 64bit kernels, which don't have this option (ok placebos are sometimes known to help on computers too clock= only exists on 32bit.
I'll defer to you, Andi, but 2.6.13.4 definitely has PM timer support for AMD64. Is there really no way to force a particular time source on AMD64?
notsc might do the trick on 64bit though. However it will only work on multi processor systems. On uniprocessor there is currently no way to force another clock.
Okay. Would a patch to change this be accepted? -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc.
