freebsd kernel with SKQ
Go to file
John Baldwin e8ce55117b Use the local APIC timer to drive the various kernel clocks on SMP machines
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.
