Notes on CPU clock oscillator tolerance with SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.3
|
|
|
|
A bug in SunOS 4.1.1 results in the kernel time losing 1 microsecond
|
|
per tick of the system clock. The bug was fixed (bugid 1094383) for
|
|
SunOS 4.1.1 and corrected in SunOS 4.1.3. The easiest way to fix this
|
|
is to replace the 4.1.1 binary clock.o with the corresponding 4.1.3
|
|
binary. Without this change it is necessary to use the tickadj program
|
|
included in this distribution with the -t 9999 option.
|
|
|
|
The tickadj option will work in all cases except when the kernel has
|
|
been modified to correct the CPU clock oscillator frequency using a
|
|
1-pps signal from a precision source. The bugfix must be installed for
|
|
this wrinkle to work properly.
