Subject[RFC] HZ entry in /proc/sys/kernel
From
Date
I have seen few scripts allready that are assuming HZ==100.
Afaik this value is different in 2.5/2.4 for the same arch.
So is it worth to add on both simple /proc/sys/kernel/HZ ?

Simple patch for 2.4.21-rc3 , if it is allright i will do same thing for
2.5
