I assume you mean the scheduling clock which would be 250 Hz rather than
MHz.
One way is to look in the kernel souces.
Another way is to measure it. Write a program that usleeps for
a microsecond and see how long it really takes. (Do it in a loop
for 1000 tries and print out a histogram.)
There is often a double roundup. Some code rounds the 1 uSec to
1 tick, and the next layer adds another tick since you are already
partway through the current tick.
