mainlining shenanigans
When the NTP frequency is set directly from userspace using the ADJ_FREQUENCY or ADJ_TICK timex mode, immediately update the timekeeper's multiplier instead of waiting for the next tick. This removes a hidden non-deterministic delay in setting of the frequency and allows an extremely tight control of the system clock with update rates close to or even exceeding the kernel HZ. The update is limited to archs using modern timekeeping (!ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
