After working with Mirolsav's simulator and his initial patch, I've grown more comfortable with his approach of calculating the freq adjustment directly using a division, rather then trying to aproximate it over a number of ticks. Part of the rational here is that now the error adjustment is very small (only a 0 or 1 unit adjustment to the multiplier) it can take quite some time to reduce any accumulated error. The approximation method strains this, since it takes log(adjustment) number of updates to approximate, and we can accumulate quite a bit of error in that period. The downside with this approach is it requires doing a 64bit divide and a few multiplies to properly make and apply the calculation, which will occur about every second or whenever the ntp_tick_length() value is adjusted. The positive side of this approach is that we see very small error accumulation. I do have some concern that compared with the simulator, the scale of the error without this patch in the real world will be hard to ever observe, the extra overhead of the computation won't actually provide a benefit.
