For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
|
|
Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
|
|
branches, and the following sections, please visit
|
|
<URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD uses i8254 PIT (Programmable Interval Timer) to calibrate the
|
|
frequency of the CPU TSC (Time Stamp Counter).
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
The Hyper-V i8254 emulation does not correctly calibrate the TSC frequency,
|
|
and is not available for Generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD virtual machines running on Hyper-V will see warnings logged to
|
|
syslog(8) and the system console resembling:
|
|
calcru: runtime went backwards from 18 usec to 9 usec for pid 0 (kernel)
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available, however FreeBSD virtual machines not running in
|
|
Hyper-V or Azure are unaffected.
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
|
|
branch (releng) dated after the correction date. After which, reboot the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
2) To update your system via a binary patch:
|
|
|
|
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
|
|
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
|
|
|
|
# freebsd-update fetch
|
|
# freebsd-update install
|
|
After which, reboot the system.
|
|
|
|
3) To update your system via a source code patch:
|
|
|
|
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
|
|
FreeBSD release branches.
|
|
|
|
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
|
|
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
|
|
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:13/vmbus.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:13/vmbus.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify vmbus.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src
|
|
# patch < /path/to/patch
|
|
|
|
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
|
|
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
VI. Correction details
