Meaning of clocksource | Babel Free

Definitions

A source of time used by an application, such as a hardware clock.

Examples

“Note, if that clocksource clock also is a low resolution timer like the Jiffies timer, the initialization function of the CPU Jitter Random Number Generator is expected to catch this issue. […] The clocksources tested are: gp_timer. When enabling the dg_timer clocksource, the system reboots after 10 seconds and can therefore not be used.”
