rather than forwarding interrupts from the clock devices around using IPIs: - Add an IDT vector that pushes a clock frame and calls lapic_handle_timer(). - Add functions to program the local APIC timer including setting the divisor, and setting up the timer to either down a periodic countdown or one-shot countdown. - Add a lapic_setup_clock() function that the BSP calls from cpu_init_clocks() to setup the local APIC timer if it is going to be used. The setup uses a one-shot countdown to calibrate the timer. We then program the timer on each CPU to fire at a frequency of hz * 3. stathz is defined as freq / 23 (hz * 3 / 23), and profhz is defined as freq / 2 (hz * 3 / 2). This gives the clocks relatively prime divisors while keeping a low LCM for the frequency of the clock interrupts. Thanks to Peter Jeremy for suggesting this approach. - Remove the hardclock and statclock forwarding code including the two associated IPIs. The bitmap IPI handler has now effectively degenerated to just IPI_AST. - When the local APIC timer is used we don't turn the RTC on at all, but we still enable interrupts on the ISA timer 0 (i8254) for timecounting purposes. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
