ACPI-fast default timecounter, but HPET 83% faster

Dear hackers, While fiddling with the sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware, I found out that on my system HPET is significantly faster than ACPI-fast. Using the program below I measured the number of clock_gettime() calls the system can execute per second. I ran the program 10 times for each config

SoC 2009: Redesign the callout API

Hello, I am Prashant Vaibhav, a 22 year old Indian guy (undergrad from Germany) and I'm a Google Summer of Code participant for 2009. My work will be focused on improving the callout/timeout API in the kernel. It was inspired by the tickless kernel feature present in XNU and Linux (since recent rel

cd9660 Lowercasing

I've developed a CD/DVD Backup Utility using the Enhanced Volume Descriptor specified in ISO9660:1999. It doesn't have Rock Ridge yet, so the first thing you notice on mounting is the automatic Lowercase, which interferes with Backup Verification using "diff -qr". There's a simple solution usin

Ext2fs & DVD+RW

Improved Ext2fs: What a great idea. I like trying different Unix flavours, and Ext2fs is the only filesystem they all understand. I put all my data on a separate Partition formatted Ext2, and every so often I'm glad: Like the recent occasion when the NetBSD Boot Selector altered something and

C99: Suggestions for style(9)

Hi hackers@, as some of you may have noticed, several years ago a new millenium started and a decade ago there was a new C standard. HEAD recently switched to C99 as default (actually gnu99, but that's rather close). So it's finally time to re-examine wether style(9) needs to be accomodated. T
