From 59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:08:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i386: Selectable Frequency of the Timer Interrupt Make the timer frequency selectable. The timer interrupt may cause bus and memory contention in large NUMA systems since the interrupt occurs on each processor HZ times per second.
