Guys, what do you think about the following change? The idea is mark TSC as the best timecounter when it's invariant and synchronized between cores. Unfortunately I don't have code to auto-detect the synchronization and keep relying on the corresponding tunable. I thought about auto-setting it for single-package configurations, but even that information is currently not trivial to get out of our mp (i386/amd64) machdep code. --- a/sys/x86/x86/tsc.c +++ b/sys/x86/x86/tsc.c _at__at_ -169,6 +169,9 _at__at_ init_TSC_tc(void) printf("TSC timecounter disabled: APM enabled.\n"); } + if (tsc_is_invariant) + tsc_timecounter.tc_quality = 1200; + #ifdef SMP /* * We can not use the TSC in SMP mode unless the TSCs on all CPUs -- Andriy GaponReceived on Thu Apr 07 2011 - 15:12:44 UTC
