NTP's adjustments are only limited : to CLOCK_REALTIME when NTP steps the clock for initialization. Stepping : the clock causes other time warps and should never be used. ntp's frequency adjustments are applied to both, for the reasons you state. ntp's phase adjustments are done only to the 'boottime' which is adjusted, from time to time, and added to the uptime to get the current time. uptime is what is returned by CLOCK_MONOTONIC. ntp's frequency adjustments are tiny and are designed so that one SI second really takes one second, not 1+-epsiolon seconds that the timing hardware may have believed it actually took.
