22.7 Legacy Series / 3rd party tool turbostat crashes with "Floating exception (core dumped)"
« on: September 01, 2022, 07:53:32 pm »
For testing the current CPU clock, I have been running turbostat for many years. This has worked over many versions of FreeBSD. Since version 13 the tool stops after startup with "Floating exception (core dumped)".
Here's what I do to install and run turbostat (worked so well before FreeBSD):
Since FreeBSD 13 I now have the following output:
My questions:
Thanks for any hints.

Code: [Select]
pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/All/turbostat-4.17_2.pkg
rehash
kldload cpuctl
turbostat --interval 3

My questions:
- Is there any reason that turbostat should no longer run with FreeBSD 13? (When installing I get a message that the package is no longer maintained.)
- Are there alternative similar tools that show the current CPU clock?
Thanks for any hints.
