The nesting rules of macros are different, which required some changes.
Use __CONCAT(x,y) instead of /**/.
Redo some comments to use /* */ rather than "# comment" because the ansi
cpp cares about those, and also cares about quote matching.
time. The results are currently ignored unless certain temporary options
are used.
Added sysctls to support reading and writing the clock frequency variables
(not the frequencies themselves). Writing is supposed to atomically
adjust all related variables.
machdep.c:
Fixed spelling of a function name in a comment so that I can log this
message which should have been with the previous commit.
Initialize `cpu_class' earlier so that it can be used in startrtclock()
instead of in calibrate_cyclecounter() (which no longer exists).
Removed range checking of `cpu'. It is always initialized to CPU_XXX
so it is less likely to be out of bounds than most variables.
clock.h:
Removed I586_CYCLECTR(). Use rdtsc() instead.
clock.c:
TIMER_FREQ is now a variable timer_freq that defaults to the old value of
TIMER_FREQ. #define'ing TIMER_FREQ should still work and may be the best
way of setting the frequency.
Calibration involves counting cycles while watching the RTC for one second.
This gives values correct to within (a few ppm) + (the innaccuracy of the
RTC) on my systems.

- Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and
have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default
in GENERIC now)
- move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make
it more obvios the effects of disabling the statistics clock

isa_dma_release() should be used in all ISA drivers which call isa_dmastart().
This can be used more generally to register the usage of DMA channels in
any driver, but it is required for drivers using isa_dmastart() and friends.

If you want an optionally slightly faster rtcin() again, then inline
it and use a better named option or sysctl variable. It only needs

Keep a 1-in-16 smoothed average of the length of each tick. If the

It sure would be nice if there was an unmapped page between the PCB and
the stack (and that the size of the stack was configurable!). With the
way things are now, the PCB will get clobbered before the double fault
handler gets control, making somewhat of a mess of things. Despite this,
it is still fairly easy to poke around in the overflowed stack to figure
out the cause.
- 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.

copied the breakage to intr_mask[8] since Mar 1995. This can cause
the RTC to stop interrupting in rare cases (under loads heavy enough
for a new RTC interrupt to occur at a critical time just before Xintr8
finishes handling the previous one) and may have caused worse problems.
