No, only once. Is that wrong?

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
hpet acpi_pm jiffies tsc 

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

Try:
cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource

do you see HPET listed twice?

What kernel version was that? There was a bug that caused this pre .22

Thanks for the ideas; however even after I made the kernel use tsc as
time source, and made sure that no one opens /dev/hpet, I fail to use
HPET (with same errors as before)

I now have

$ dmesg |grep -i hpet
ACPI: HPET 7D5B6AE0, 0038 (r1 A M I  OEMHPET   5000708 MSFT   97)
ACPI: HPET id: 0x8086a301 base: 0xfed0
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed0, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0
hpet0: 4 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz
hpet_resources: 0xfed0 is busy

Any other idea?

Dan.

HPET has multiple timers (variable, but typically 2 or 4). The kernel
only uses timer 0. It's possible someone else in user space is using
it though. Try lsof /dev/hpet

 I must be missing something silly here.. should I be able to open more
 than one instance of qemu with -clock hpet? Because upon invoking a
 second instance of qemu HPET_IE_ON fails.

Maybe the kernel is using the timer, so userspace can't.  Just a guess.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to 
panic.

In a risk of being off-topic, maybe you can help me try the hpet support.
When I try the hpet Documentation demo I get

# ./hpet poll /dev/hpet 1 1000
-hpet: executing poll
hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0
hpet_poll, HPET_IE_ON failed

while I have

$ dmesg|grep -i HPET
ACPI: HPET 7D5B6AE0, 0038 (r1 A M I  OEMHPET   5000708 MSFT   97)
ACPI: HPET id: 0x8086a301 base: 0xfed0
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed0, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0
hpet0: 4 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz
hpet_resources: 0xfed0 is busy
Time: hpet clocksource has been installed.

Any idea what I am misconfiguring?

Thanks,

Dan.

It depends on your hardware. Theoretically it's possible, but I've yet
to see a motherboard with more than one periodic timer.

"dmesg | grep hpet" should tell you something like:

hpet0: 3 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz

I must be missing something silly here.. should I be able to open more
than one instance of qemu with -clock hpet? Because upon invoking a
second instance of qemu HPET_IE_ON fails.

I also tried running the example in the kernel docs under
Documentation/hpet.txt

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/home/mkent]# ./demo poll /dev/hpet 1 1000
-hpet: executing poll
hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0
hpet_poll: expired time = 0x8
hpet_poll: revents = 0x1
hpet_poll: data 0x1


[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/home/mkent]# ./demo poll /dev/hpet 1 1000
-hpet: executing poll
hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0
hpet_poll, HPET_IE_ON failed

This is on 2.6.23-rc3 x86_64 with the patch-2.6.23-rc3-hrt2.patch
hrtimers patch.
