Hi everyone,
We at the University of Kansas' Information Technology and
Telecommunications center have been working on providing microsecond
resolution timer support in kernel space. We now have a working
patch which allows kernel routines to add timers (using a new call
add_utimer) with microsecond resolution. This is compatible with
the old add_timer call. We hope this patch is useful for a lot of you.

You can obtain further details about this and a patch for linux-2.0.22
(should work on other kernels without any problem) at
http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/utime/

Please send suggestions/comments/bug reports to utime@ittc.ukans.edu.
Thanx
balaji
