Yes, sorry I never replied. According to Matt, the turbolaser doesn't
have an i8254 timecounter. And the alpha timecounter is never
initialized in alpha/alpha/clock.c if ncpus>1, so you're taking a
clock interrupt with no timecounter. Oops. No MP for TurboLasers
right now, I guess.
Here's the code in question:
/*
* XXX: TurboLaser doesn't have an i8254 counter.
* XXX: A replacement is needed, and another method
* XXX: of determining this would be nice.
*/
if (hwrpb->rpb_type != ST_DEC_21000) {
tc_init(&i8254_timecounter);
}
if (ncpus == 1) {
alpha_timecounter.tc_frequency = freq;
tc_init(&alpha_timecounter);
}
I think there are bigger fish to fry right now, but this needs to be
fixed. I'm not at all sure what to do, since I don't think that
the cycle counters on multiple cpus are in sync..
