The purpose of the minsec argument is to prevent 64-bit math overflow when the number of cycles is multiplied up. However, the multipler is 32-bit, and in the sched_clock() case, the cycle counter is up to 32-bit as well. So the math can never overflow. With a value of 60, and clock rates greater than 71MHz, the calculated multiplier is unnecessarily reduced in value, which reduces accuracy by maybe 70ppt. It's almost not worth bothering with as the oscillator driving the counter won't be any more than 1ppm - unless you're using a rubidium lamp or caesium fountain frequency standard. So, set the minsec argument to zero. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
