I've been running the experimental libc now for several days on my
notebook without any trouble!

I think all machines except stadler and sompek are US IIIi machines. The
problem with US IIIi is, that sun never published the cpu specs - they would
have done it if somebody would have paid for the lawyers to look trough them
before publishing. US IIi support was implemented by a student working at SUN
under NDA and US IV and later was published. So I think if dropping (official)
support for US IIIi CPUs would keep the port alive, we should do that. Running
Debian on the more recent machines makes more sense anyway imho. The older
ones are nice, but they consume a lt of power.

Package: kfreebsd-9
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

To properly provide CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID
and clock_id's created by clock_getcpuclockid() and 
pthread_getcpuclockid(), we need a kernel support.

See also #665287.

The kernel support is available in HEAD (but not in STABLE-9).
It should not be to hard to backport kernel part of

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=168417

into our kernel.

The FBTL based libpthread will use only this interface,
it will not fallback to TSC timers at all.
The reason is that TSC part is fragile and unaccurate.
