new jemalloc vs VirtualBox

["K. Schreiner" <ks%ub.uni-mainz.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I've had "build.sh ... distribution" failing on an amd64-VM running in
VirtualBox (newest test version) like so:

...
<jemalloc>: /u/NetBSD/src/external/bsd/jemalloc/lib/../dist/src/arena.c:647:
Failed assertion: "nstime_compa\ re(&decay->epoch, &time) <= 0"
...
[1]   Abort trap (core dumped) /u/NetBSD/arch/amd64/TOOLS/bin/nbmake _THISDIR...
--- obj-ln ---
*** [obj-ln] Error code 134
nbmake[3]: stopped in /u/NetBSD/src/bin
1 error
...


Reason seems to be time "going backwards" what new jemalloc doesn't like.

After adding
      VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/TM/TSCTiedToExecution" 1
to the amd64-VM definiton, the problem seems to be gone.


Have others seen this perhaps?
