Description

There's a problem that appears from time to time on vmware workstation: there're a lot messages in syslog like the following:

Sep  2 11:35:12 illumos pcplusmp: apic_timer_reprogram, request at  313206003906250  too far in future, current time  178110130125436

Sep  2 11:35:12 illumos pcplusmp: apic_timer_reprogram, request at  313206003906250  too far in future, current time  178110170210231

The message is printed very frequently (probably from softirq) and significantly slows down machine performance.

It's printed from src/uts/i86pc/io/pcplusmp/:oneshot_timer_reprogram()

Stack:
