Dear Scott McNutt,
In message 49D2014F.4070802@psyent.com you wrote:
so if we were to document things, it should read like this:
- CONFIG_SYS_HZ is required to be 1000
Can't this just be eliminated? It's stupid to have a configurable option that is neither ;-)
And it doesn't do much for my confidence when things stop working (like my tftp downloads now that the tftp timeout has been, ahem, "fixed") only because a "configurable" option wasn't set to the "correct" value.
If we can't change it with breaking something, then let's stop kidding ourselves and get rid of it.
Agreed.
We still need some hint that the timer works in millisecond resolution, though - no matter what you call it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
