-/* Accelerators for sched_clock()
- * convert from cycles(64bits) => nanoseconds (64bits)
- *  basic equation:
- *              ns = cycles / (freq / ns_per_sec)
- *              ns = cycles * (ns_per_sec / freq)
- *              ns = cycles * (10^9 / (cpu_khz * 10^3))
- *              ns = cycles * (10^6 / cpu_khz)
+/*
+ * We use the full linear equation: f(x) = a + b*x, in order to allow
+ * a continuous function in the face of dynamic freq changes.
  *
- *      Then we use scaling math (suggested by george@mvista.com) to get:
- *              ns = cycles * (10^6 * SC / cpu_khz) / SC
- *              ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
+ * Continuity means that when our frequency changes our slope (b); we want to
+ * ensure that: f(t) == f'(t), which gives: a + b*t == a' + b'*t.
  *
- *      And since SC is a constant power of two, we can convert the div
- *  into a shift.
+ * Without an offset (a) the above would not be possible.
  *
- *  We can use khz divisor instead of mhz to keep a better precision, since
- *  cyc2ns_scale is limited to 10^6 * 2^10, which fits in 32 bits.
- *  (mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca)

- *                      -johnstul@us.ibm.com "math is hard, lets go shopping!"
- *
- * In:
- *
- * ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
- *
- * Although we may still have enough bits to store the value of ns,
- * in some cases, we may not have enough bits to store cycles * cyc2ns_scale,
- * leading to an incorrect result.
- *
- * To avoid this, we can decompose 'cycles' into quotient and remainder
- * of division by SC.  Then,
- *
- * ns = (quot * SC + rem) * cyc2ns_scale / SC
- *    = quot * cyc2ns_scale + (rem * cyc2ns_scale) / SC
- *
- *                      - sqazi@google.com
+ * See the comment near cycles_2_ns() for details on how we compute (b).
