Pvclock kernel module?

[seidler2547]

I just installed 2.3-BETA, and I wanted to ask if there's anything that can be done to use/enable the pvclock module for better KVM performance and timekeeping? I'm sure there are lots of virtualized pfSense out there, and this would definitely help.

Here is the code I'm referring to: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/x86/x86/pvclock.c
It seems to me that this is part of the "main" FreeBSD branch, but I don't know a lot about this, whether it just needs to be enabled when building the kernel or whether pfSense uses a completely different branch for its kernel.

Thanks,

Stefan

as far as i can see, that piece of code is only present on the "master" branch of freebsd.

pfsense 2.3 is based on freebsd 10.3 / https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/tree/releng/10.3/sys/x86/x86
as you can see, that code is not in 10.3

That'll be there when we get to FreeBSD 11, which is slated for 2.4 later this year.
