The main clock, running - <var class="Va">hz</var> times per second, is used to keep track of real - time.</p> -<p class="Pp">In another words, <var class="Va">hz</var> specifies the number of - times the <a class="Xr">hardclock(9)</a> timer ticks per second. Normally - <a class="Xr">hardclock(9)</a> increments time by <var class="Va">tick</var> - each time it is called. If the system clock has drifted, - <a class="Xr">adjtime(2)</a> may be used to skew this increment based on the - rate of <var class="Va">tickadj</var>.</p> -<p class="Pp">The second timer is used to gather timing statistics. It also - handles kernel and user profiling. If the second timer is programmable, it - is randomized to avoid aliasing between the two clocks. The mean frequency - of the second timer is <var class="Va">stathz</var>. If a separate clock is - not available, <var class="Va">stathz</var> is set to - <var class="Va">hz</var>.</p> -<p class="Pp">If profiling is enabled, the clock normally used to drive - <var class="Va">stathz</var> may be run at a higher rate - <var class="Va">profhz</var>, which is required to be a multiple of - <var class="Va">stathz</var>. This will give higher resolution profiling - information.</p> -<p class="Pp" id="struct">These system variables are also available as - <a class="permalink" href="#struct"><i class="Em">struct clockinfo</i></a> - from <a class="Xr">sysctl(3)</a> and - <a class="permalink" href="#kern.clockrate"><b class="Sy" id="kern.clockrate">kern.clockrate</b></a> - from <a class="Xr">sysctl(8)</a>.
