I changed 3 files in quoted mail below (tsc.c clock.h clock.c)
back to the previous revision,
on my ThinkPad A22e (the last cvsup was on Aug 13),
and recompiled kernel (the config file is almost the same as GENERIC),
and compared behavior of the clock between 2 kernels as:
kernel with the latest (on Aug 13) revision of these 3 files
kernel with the previous revision of these 3 file
On condition of hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed as 8,
the clock works
normally ... for both of the latest and the previous revision
of these 3 files
On condition of hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed as 4,
the clock works
slowly ... for the latest revision of these 3 files
normally ... for the previous revision of these 3 files
In details, when the clock works slowly,
the clock works at the half of normal speed.
For comparing clock,
I used /usr/bin/top and another machine that has a reliable clock.
(ex. video recorder)
/bin/date is also suitable for comparing.
On condition of the clock working slowly,
snd_ich.ko said double of normal value for link rate (48000Hz is expected)
when I execute "kldload snd_ich" by hand.
I read the diff between the revisions,
but I could not find out reason why the change of 3 files affects
relations between clock and CPU speed setting.
But it does affect.
