msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
__VM_PMAP_HACK is defined (for temporary compatibility).
The __VM_PMAP_HACK code should be removed after all the
ports that define it have removed all vm_pmap references.
Eliminate obsolete global kernel variable "struct timezone tz"
Add RTC_OFFSET option
Add global kernel variable rtc_offset, which is initialized by
RTC_OFFSET at kernel compile time.
on i386, x68k, mac68k, pc532 and arm32, RTC_OFFSET indicates how many
minutes west (east) of GMT the hardware RTC runs. Defaults to 0.
Places where tz variable was used to indicate this in the past have
been replaced with rtc_offset.
Add sysctl interface to rtc_offset.
Kill obsolete DST_* macros in sys/time.h
gettimeofday now always returns zeroed timezone if zone is requested.
settimeofday now ignores and logs attempts to set non-existant kernel
timezone.
documented behavior. sysctl(3) is documented to return 0 on success,
-1 on failure. The previous behavior was to return -1 on failure
and the number of bytes copied back down to user space.
Fixes part of PR #1999, from Kevin M. Lahey <kml@nas.nasa.gov>
and the "kernel.tar.Z" distribution on louie.udel.edu, which is older than
xntp 3.4y or 3.5a, but contains newer kernel source fragments.
This commit adds support for a new kernel configuration option, NTP.
If NTP is selected, then the system clock should be run at "HZ", which
must be defined at compile time to be one value from:
60, 64, 100, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Powers of 2 are ideal; 60 and 100 are supported but are marginally less
accurate.
If NTP is not configured, there should be no change in behavior relative
to pre-NTP kernels.
These changes have been tested extensively with xntpd 3.4y on a decstation;
almost identical kernel mods work on an i386. No pulse-per-second (PPS)
line discipline support is included, due to unavailability of hardware
to test it.
With this in-kernel PLL support for NetBSD, both xntp 3.4y and xntp
3.5a user-level code need minor changes. xntp's prototype for
syscall() is correct for FreeBSD, but not for NetBSD.
