Hello!
[ I beleive this is real FAQ - so responding with private e-mails
more appropriate.
ptr("RTFM") != 0 are welcome. ]
jiffies declared in kernel/timer.c.
Name suggests that it is incremented 100 times per second.
LDD2 suggests that it is incremented every 1000/HZ per second.
Is it just name misleading - or I really miss the point?
So to translate this to seconds i need (jiffies*1000/HZ)
and milliseconds are just (jiffies/HZ) then.
Am I right?
I need this for {add,mod}_timer() calls.
