Is anyone by any chance working on SMP support for PMC / PERFCTRS? Apparently FreeBSD is now able to support PMC on SMP machines, but I can't find any hint of anything related for NetBSD. I ask mostly because I'm flustered by getrusage(2) being as good as useless for even the most basic of benchmarking purposes, and gettimeofday() also being useless in a multi-user environment. I guess a second question might be if anyone's thought of pulling over FreeBSD's fix, or re-implementing something similar, to at least make getrusage() monotonic? (on a related note, does anyone know of any decent CPU measurement tool for use inside a process on OS X? getrusage() is broken there too.) -- Greg A.
