You don't say how you got the sources, or what version this is
supposed to be.  I've just checked the source of
/sys/kern/kern_clock.c (the -current version, RCS ID $Id:
kern_clock.c,v 1.40 1997/09/07 05:25:43 bde Exp $) and find no
constants round there.  I'd guess that you have a corrupted source
file.  Take a look round line 937.  You should see something like:


       if (CLKF_USERMODE(frame)) {
		p = curproc;
		if (p->p_flag & P_PROFIL)
			addupc_intr(p, CLKF_PC(frame), 1);
		if (--pscnt > 0)
			return;
		/*
		 * Came from user mode; CPU was in user state.
		 * If this process is being profiled record the tick.
		 */

If not, let me see what it is.  Let me also see the RCS ID (should be
at line 39).
