Question: monolitic_clock, timer_{tsc,hpet} and CPUFREQ

[Dmitry Torokhov]

I noticed that although timer_tsc registers cpufreq notifier to detect
frequency changes and adjust cpu_khz it does not set cyc2ns_scale. Is
monotonic clocks supposed to be also accurate?

Will something like this suffice for timer_tsc (compiled, not yet booted):
