(I tried 2 times) Oh, hm, very strange. Not sure why that happens. Anyway, it seems that I missed the real cause of this problem and the excellent explanation by Bruce. Your CPU doesn't have invariant TSC and (x86) FreeBSD doesn't handle that correctly for some things like e.g. CPU time accounting that you are reporting about. This is not a problem for modern hardware which almost universally supports invariant TSC, but older models are affected. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
