Thanks to Poul-Henning Kamp which
pointed where to disable TSC. 1st time
I've decided to define option in kernel
"DISABLE_TSC" and do things according
following patches:
KERN.diff:
78a79,80
> options DISABLE_TSC
>
options.i386.diff:
2a3
> DISABLE_TSC
/sys/i386/include/specialreg.h.diff
81a82,84
> #if defined(DISABLE_TSC)
> #define CPUID_TSC 0x0000
> #else
82a86
> #endif
As far as I define in kernconfigfile option DISABLE_TSC
I have to have tsc_present variable set to zero.
In /sys/i386/isa/clock.c:
void
startrtclock()
{
u_int delta, freq;
if (cpu_feature & CPUID_TSC)
tsc_present = 1;
else
tsc_present = 0;
[...]
}
I've built new kernel, installed it and ... Nothing:
Timecounter TSC initialises anyway. What I did wrong?
Then I simply added "tsc_present = 0;" after if-block in
startclock. And it worked. TSC have been disabled.
After that my clock ran faster(even faster then really needed:)
but anyway it better then to have a monday during all the week:)
Futher, my X stopped to freez during xdm startup.
Now I dont need to ssh my X-box to awake X up.
What people think about it?
