Re: time issues
:I've seen something similar to this with HEAD just before the last big
:slip of DragonFly_Stable to HEAD, but I haven't manageged to reproduce it
:since then. I can't say whether the system clock was completely dead, or that
:it just slowed down.
:
:By the way, is TIMER_USE_1 safe for anyone? Only tested with SMP, but:
:
:- I've only seen the slow down of system clock on kernel *without* TIMER_USE_1,
: but now I can't reproduce it. The system clock never goes fast *without*
: TIMER_USE_1.
:
:- on kernel *with* TIMER_USE_1 on the same machine, the system clock
: goes crazy(about 10 times faster than the real time) a few minutes after
: staring buildworld. If I reboot without running ntpdate, the clock goes
: back to normal(I mean the hard clock doesn't seem to be affected).
: The machine has 4 logical CPUs(dual Xeon with HTT enabled). If I turn off
: HTT in the BIOS, the number of logical CPU becomes 2, and this time
: the system clock will not be as fast as it did with HTT enabled
: (like 5 times or so faster than the real time).
When I try to use TIMER_USE_1 something goes nuts in the system while
it is booting. It's really weird, I've never been able to figure it out.
I think there are definitely some issues with the timekeeping but I
think I am going to wait until after VFS and journaling go in before
I make a push to track it down.
