The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds) # potential increase in response times. # It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING # to achieve smoother behaviour. # Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with help of # the ifconfig(8) utility, and select the CPU fraction reserved to # userland with the sysctl variable kern.polling.user_frac # (default 50, range 0..100). # # Not all device drivers support this mode of operation at the time of # this writing. See polling(4) for more details. options DEVICE_POLLING # BPF_JITTER adds support for BPF just-in-time compiler. options BPF_JITTER # OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (Infiniband). options OFED options OFED_DEBUG_INIT # Sockets Direct Protocol options SDP options SDP_DEBUG # IP over Infiniband options IPOIB options IPOIB_DEBUG options IPOIB_CM ##################################################################### # CLOCK OPTIONS # Provide read/write access to the memory in the clock chip. device nvram # Access to rtc cmos via /dev/nvram ##################################################################### # MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES AND OPTIONS device speaker #Play IBM BASIC-style noises out your speaker envvar hint.speaker.0.at="isa" envvar hint.speaker.0.port="0x61" ##################################################################### # HARDWARE BUS CONFIGURATION # # ISA bus # device isa # # Options for `isa': # # AUTO_EOI_1 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the master 8259A # interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt. # This option breaks suspend/resume on some portables. # # AUTO_EOI_2 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the slave 8259A # interrupt controller. This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt. # Automatic EOI is documented not to work for the slave with the # original i8259A, but it works for some clones and some integrated # versions. # # MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not # specified, FreeBSD will first read the amount of memory from the CMOS # RAM, so the amount of memory will initially be limited to 64MB or 16MB # depending on the BIOS. If the BIOS reports 64MB, a memory probe will # then attempt to detect the installed amount of RAM. If this probe # fails to detect >64MB RAM you will have to use the MAXMEM option. # The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of RAM, it would # be 131072 (128 * 1024). # # BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET disables the use of the keyboard controller to # reset the CPU for reboot.
