[Uuu-testing] realtime scheduler tests

[Dave P. <ek...@vo...>]

Two more images are available today:

  [bzip2]

  http://void-core.2y.net/download/img-20020213-0004.bin.bz2

  http://void-core.2y.net/download/img-20020213-0004.bin.zip

(for the curious, -0002.bin is the same as -0001.bin but disables the
FDC motor in the boot record)

Description:

  Both images setup a timer and displays the realtime clock.  You have a
  'scheduler' time, which is based on computed PIT ticks and time since
  last call.  By pressing the spacebar this time is reset to 0.  This is
  compared to the RealTime Clock time located in CMOS.

  0003 specific: 1 timer every 1ms, for a total of 1000 timers per
  seconds.  The scheduler time should not be off from the realtime by
  more than 5%

  0004 specific: 1 timer every second. The scheduler time should not be
  off from the realtime more than 0.0001%

Things to test:

  Verify that the scheduler time is within given allowance with the
  real time.  For image 0003 this should be +/- 5%, and for image 0004
  this should be +/- 0.0001%

Where to report:
