Hi Ben,=20

Le Mittwoch 05 Oktober 2005 00:14, Benjamin Herrenschmidt a =C3=A9crit :
The problem is indeed in via_calibrate_decr(). This routine works on
HZ/100 so it will not do any good with HZ not beeing a multiple of 100.

Can you test this patch ?
I can confirm that this patch solves the timer skew on my mac.

Thanks!
