Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6
The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel+LibC: Add adjtime(2)
Most systems (Linux, OpenBSD) adjust 0.5 ms per second, or 0.5 us per
1 ms tick. That is, the clock is sped up or slowed down by at most
0.05%. This means adjusting the clock by 1 s takes 2000 s, and the
clock an be adjusted by at most 1.8 s per hour.
FreeBSD adjusts 5 ms per second if the remaining time adjustment is
>= 1 s (0.5%) , else it adjusts by 0.5 ms as well. This allows adjusting
by (almost) 18 s per hour.
Since Serenity OS can lose more than 22 s per hour (#3429), this
picks an adjustment rate up to 1% for now. This allows us to
adjust up to 36s per hour, which should be sufficient to adjust
the clock fast enough to keep up with how much time the clock
currently loses. Once we have a fancier NTP implementation that can
adjust tick rate in addition to offset, we can think about reducing
this.
adjtime is a bit old-school and most current POSIX-y OSs instead
implement adjtimex/ntp_adjtime, but a) we have to start somewhere
b) ntp_adjtime() is a fairly gnarly API. OpenBSD's adjfreq looks
like it might provide similar functionality with a nicer API. But
before worrying about all this, it's probably a good idea to get
to a place where the kernel APIs are (barely) good enough so that
we can write an ntp service, and once we have that we should write
a way to automatically evaluate how well it keeps the time adjusted,
and only then should we add improvements ot the adjustment mechanism.

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6
The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel+LibC: Add adjtime(2)
Most systems (Linux, OpenBSD) adjust 0.5 ms per second, or 0.5 us per
1 ms tick. That is, the clock is sped up or slowed down by at most
0.05%. This means adjusting the clock by 1 s takes 2000 s, and the
clock an be adjusted by at most 1.8 s per hour.
FreeBSD adjusts 5 ms per second if the remaining time adjustment is
>= 1 s (0.5%) , else it adjusts by 0.5 ms as well. This allows adjusting
by (almost) 18 s per hour.
Since Serenity OS can lose more than 22 s per hour (#3429), this
picks an adjustment rate up to 1% for now. This allows us to
adjust up to 36s per hour, which should be sufficient to adjust
the clock fast enough to keep up with how much time the clock
currently loses. Once we have a fancier NTP implementation that can
adjust tick rate in addition to offset, we can think about reducing
this.
adjtime is a bit old-school and most current POSIX-y OSs instead
implement adjtimex/ntp_adjtime, but a) we have to start somewhere
b) ntp_adjtime() is a fairly gnarly API. OpenBSD's adjfreq looks
like it might provide similar functionality with a nicer API. But
before worrying about all this, it's probably a good idea to get
to a place where the kernel APIs are (barely) good enough so that
we can write an ntp service, and once we have that we should write
a way to automatically evaluate how well it keeps the time adjusted,
and only then should we add improvements ot the adjustment mechanism.

This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6
The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try

HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source

The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is

try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:

The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try

"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6
The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.
This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source
code:

The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of

provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in

About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer

The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is
responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a
timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform
HPET-related operations.
The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new
features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the
callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to
swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware
timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer,
measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem
This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be
handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid
in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we
handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for
that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks.
With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically
and still keep the time synchronized.
In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of
TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to
provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in
the future, a feature known as tickless kernel.
The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time
(Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide
the value.
Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments:
- the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or
"legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will
try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem
will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to setup HPET.
- the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or
"nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for
periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is
found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more
than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task
will be assigned to periodic timers.
If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try
to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if
HPET is disabled.
In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting
from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT)
and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be
programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a
frequency close to 1000Hz.
About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not,
we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer
and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the
Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists,
instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC.

Kernel+LibC: Add adjtime(2)
Most systems (Linux, OpenBSD) adjust 0.5 ms per second, or 0.5 us per
1 ms tick. That is, the clock is sped up or slowed down by at most
0.05%. This means adjusting the clock by 1 s takes 2000 s, and the
clock an be adjusted by at most 1.8 s per hour.
FreeBSD adjusts 5 ms per second if the remaining time adjustment is
>= 1 s (0.5%) , else it adjusts by 0.5 ms as well. This allows adjusting
by (almost) 18 s per hour.
Since Serenity OS can lose more than 22 s per hour (#3429), this
picks an adjustment rate up to 1% for now. This allows us to
adjust up to 36s per hour, which should be sufficient to adjust
the clock fast enough to keep up with how much time the clock
currently loses. Once we have a fancier NTP implementation that can
adjust tick rate in addition to offset, we can think about reducing
this.
adjtime is a bit old-school and most current POSIX-y OSs instead
implement adjtimex/ntp_adjtime, but a) we have to start somewhere
b) ntp_adjtime() is a fairly gnarly API. OpenBSD's adjfreq looks
like it might provide similar functionality with a nicer API. But
before worrying about all this, it's probably a good idea to get
to a place where the kernel APIs are (barely) good enough so that
we can write an ntp service, and once we have that we should write
a way to automatically evaluate how well it keeps the time adjusted,
and only then should we add improvements ot the adjustment mechanism.

// Once we have a smarter NTP service that also adjusts the frequency instead of just slewing time, maybe we can lower this.
