Hello, I'm using the latest qemu release (0.10.0) to simulate network boot of the FreeBSD diskless station. Recent qemu supports HPET timer emulation (and does it by default). I've found something that could be interesting to -CURRENT developers... When I boot a 8.0-CURRENT kernel I've got console and dmesg full of such information: calcru: runtime went backwards from 981954 usec to 282875 usec for pid 14 (sh) calcru: runtime went backwards from 11248014703054744 usec to 23653848 usec forpid 14 (sh) calcru: runtime went backwards from 1298297 usec to 909205 usec for pid 11 (intr) calcru: runtime went backwards from 11248014678717988 usec to 119242 usec for pid 60 (ps) calcru: runtime went backwards from 11248014678921829 usec to 2516605 usec for pid 60 (ps) calcru: runtime went backwards from 7014844 usec to 6270851 usec for pid 0 (kernel) calcru: runtime went backwards from 11248014678723366 usec to 31380 usec for pid 15 (nfsiod 0) calcru: runtime went backwards from 22496029384944496 usec to 37978168 usec for pid 14 (sh) I also get events like this (which makes my console session die, or for example ssh to fail): login: Mar 11 21:15:12 qemu kernel: pid 831 (getty), uid 0, was killed: exceeded maximum CPU limit Sysctl shows these timers. qemu% sysctl kern.timecounter.choice kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(800) HPET(900) ACPI-safe(850) i8254(0) dummy(-1000000) I tried to switch between them, but any of them helps. I don't remember experiencing such things when running 7.x or 6.x series so maybe it's a new issue. It happens regardless of kqemu usage. Of course if you find this interesting and need some more info from dmesg or sth - I'm at your service :) -- Regards, Jedrzej KalinowskiReceived on Wed Mar 11 2009 - 19:55:33 UTC
