Description

Kernel put the select thread to sleep queue in sleepq_set_timeout_sbt,
the expire value is calculated by this
expire = (sbt - SBT_1S + sbt_per_tick - 1) / sbt_per_tick;
sbt is the absolute time,no time drift.
but the sbt_per_tick is not an accurate value,
it can make the expire vaule bigger and bigger while sbt is increasing.

In rtems_bsd_initialize function,
rtems_bsd_sbt_per_watchdog_tick = SBT_1S / tps;

In our system the tick rate is set to 1000Hz,
the real value of rtems_bsd_sbt_per_watchdog_tick is 1<<32/1000=4294967.296
but in integer type the value is 4294967.
The error is 0.296/4294967 = 0.069ppm,
and it can increase the expire value 1ms every 14000 seconds.
