- Don't print out meaningless iCOMP numbers, those are for droids.
- Use a shorter wait to determine clock rate to avoid deficiencies
in DELAY().
- Use a fixed-point representation with 8 bits of fraction to store
the rate and rationalize the variable name. It would be
possible to use even more fraction if it turns out to be
worthwhile (I rather doubt it).
The question of source code arrangement remains unaddressed.
free-run and doing a subtract in microtime() rather than resetting the
counter to zero at every clock tick. In combination with the changes to
kern_clock.c, this should eliminate all the immediately obvious sources
of systematic jitter in timekeeping on Pentium machines.
to access it. setdelayed() actually ORs the bits in `idelayed' into
`ipending' and clears `idelayed'.
Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed
interrupts into pending ones.
Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt
at the next clock tick. This is more efficient than calling timeout().
Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.
Put in the much shorter and cleaner version for the calibrate_cycle_counter
for the Pentium that Bruce suggested. Tested here on my Pentium and
it works okay.
shifting. Also correct the original code as Garrett noticed it in mail.
Leave the mishandled code in to use it later if future versions of gcc
are correct. The code was part of the calibrate_cyclecounter routine to
get the speed of the pentium chip.
Move definition of `stat_imask' to clock.c.
clock.c:
Rename `rtcmask' to `stat_imask' and export it. Rename `clkmask' to
`clk_imask' for consistency.
Only calculate TIMER_DIV(hz) once.
Merge debugging and "garbage" code to produce debugging code and format the
output better.
Make writertc() static inline and use it everywhere. Now all accesses to
the clock registers go through rtcin() and writertc().
Move rtc initialization to cpu_initclocks().
Merge enablertclock() with cpu_initclocks() and remove enablertclock().
The extra entry point was just a leftover from 1.1.5.
doesn't have to calculate it every call.
Rename `timer0_prescale' to `timer0_prescaler_count' and maintain it
correctly. Previously we lost a few 8253 cycles for every "prescaled"
clock interrupt, and the lossage grows rapidly at 16 KHz. Now we
only lose a few cycles for every standard clock interrupt.
Rename `*_divisor' to `*_max_count'.
Do the calculation of TIMER_DIV(rate) only once instead of 3 times each
time the rate is changed.
Don't allow preposterously large interrupt rates. Bug fixes elsewhere
should allow the system to survive rates that saturate the system, however.
Clean up declarations.
Include <machine/clock.h> to check our own declarations.
Changed the fifth parameter to register_intr() from u_int mask into
u_int *maskptr in preparation for new features (shared interrupts and
removable devices, eg. for PCMCIA).
Restore the simple leap year calculation as a macro and document it so
that it doesn't become complicated again. The simple version works
for all leap years covered by 32-bit time_t's. The complicated version
doesn't work for all leap years covered by 64-bit time_t's since among
other reasons, the solar system is not stable for long enough.
Fix declarations.
Nuke spinwait().
This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from
Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:
1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few
fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.
2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.
3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing
possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update.
This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and
reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in
microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than
8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/clock.c:
o Garrett's statclock changes.
o Wire xxxintr, not Vclk.
o Wire using register_intr(), not setidt().
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/icu.s:
o Garrett's statclock changes.
o Removed unused variable high_imask.
o Fake int 8 for rtc as well as int 0 for clk. Required for kernel
profiling with statclock, harmless otherwise.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa.c:
o Allow isdp->id_irq and other things in *isdp to be changed by
probes. Changing interrupts later requires direct calls to
register_intr() and unregister_intr() and more care.
ALLOW_CONFLICT_* is brought over from 1.1.5, except
ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ is not supported. IRQ conflict checking is
delayed until after probing so that drivers can change the IRQ
to a free one; real conflicts require more cooperation between
drivers to handle.
o Too many details to list.
o This file requires splitting and a lot more work.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa_device.h:
o Declare more things more completely.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c:
o Prepare to register interrupt handlers as fast.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/vector.s:
o Generate entry code for 16 fast interrupt handlers and 16 normal
interrupt handlers. Changed some constants to variables:
# $unit is now intr_unit[intr]. Type is int. Someday it should
be a cookie suitable for the handler (e.g., a struct com_s for
sio).
# $handler is now intr_handler[intr].
# intrcnt_actv[id_num] is now *intr_countp[intr]. The indirection
is required to get a contiguous range of counters for vmstat
and so that the drivers depend more in the driver than on the
interrupt number (drivers could take turns using an interrupt
and the counts would remain correct). There is a separate
counter for each device and for each stray interrupt. In
1.1.5, stray interrupt 7 clobbers the count for device 7 or
something worse if there is no device 7 :-(.
# mask is now intr_mask[intr] (was already indirect).
o Entry points are now _XintrI and _XfastintrI (I = intr = 0-15),
not _VdevU (U = unit).
o Removed BUILD_VECTORS stuff. There's a trace of it left for
the string table for vmstat but config now generates the
string in one piece because nothing more is required.
o Removed old handling of stray interrupts and older comments
about it.

not provide the full accuracy of a randomized statistical clock, it does
provide greater accuracy than the previous method, while not significantly
increasing overhead. It also provides profiling support at 1024 Hz.
You must re-compile config before making a new kernel, or you will end
up with unresolved symbols.
Reviewed uy: Bruce evans said it worked for him.
``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:
rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine
ln -s @/i386/include machine
make depend

the NTP kernel PLL is disabled, and acquire_timer0() is enabled, thus
opening the door for microtime() (and hence gettimeofday()) to return
bogus timestamps. This option is necessary for the `pca' driver to
work, but is implemented to underscore the fact that accurate timekeeping
and the `pca' driver are incompatible at present. If someone writes a version
of microtime() that works when the `pca' driver is being used, this can get
junked.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
