New Revision: 265472
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/265472

Log:
  dd(1) uses gettimeofday(2) to compute the throughput statistics.  However,
  gettimeofday returns the system clock, which may jump forward or back,
  especially if NTP is in use.  If the time jumps backwards, then dd will see
  negative elapsed time, round it up to 1usec, and print an absurdly fast
  transfer rate.
  
  The solution is to use clock_gettime(2) with CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE as the
  clock_id.  That clock advances steadily, regardless of changes to the system
  clock.
