Subject: RTC: Ratelimit "lost interrupts" message
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2ff457b09554813a7df9e0cd30d5a169a257419;p=linux-beck.git

RTC: Ratelimit "lost interrupts" message

We gets lots of these when the kernel is running on a hypervisor.  Zach says
"a guest kernel trying to get high frequency RTC will also be inaccurate, and
inevitably will have unhidable interrupt lateness."
