Description Seth Hoffert 2023-11-10 18:49:06 UTC 
Currently, the following four sysctl variables reside in the 'machdep' namespace for historical reasons:

machdep.disable_rtc_set
machdep.wall_cmos_clock
machdep.adjkerntz
machdep.rtc_save_period

They should be moved to the 'kern' namespace for cleanliness.


Comment found in /sys/kern/subr_clock.c:

/*
 * The adjkerntz and wall_cmos_clock sysctls are in the "machdep" sysctl
 * namespace because they were misplaced there originally.
 */


Comment found in /sys/kern/subr_rtc.c:

/* XXX: should be kern. now, it's no longer machdep.  */
