The XXX in calcru1() you can remove. The rux you are adding the current time to is a local rusage_ext on the stack. However, your changes probably make it bogus in that the current code assumes it can subtract the start time of another CPU (for a thread running on another CPU) from the current time on this CPU to get the amount of time the other thread has been running on the other CPU since it last updated p->p_rux.rux_runtime. However, with the CPUs having disparate timings this would break as curthread's CPU's notion of now will be unrelated to the other thread's CPU's notion of now. Other than that this patch looks fine to me. FYI, Alpha also has a per-cpu counter (RPCC) that is used for the timecounter on UP Alphas. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Tue Jan 24 2006 - 21:08:15 UTC
