Add (global-auto-revert-mode 1) to .emacs.
Start Emacs.
Emacs now using 100% cpu.
truss -p <pid> show that Emacs is doing fstatat(), possibly stuck
endless loop.

Not reproducible on GNU/Linux.  Maybe this is a FreeBSD specific
problem, due to kqueue implementation of file notifications?

Does this happen if your .emacs includes only the above line?

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, only the one line. I'll file a bug report on freebsd's bugzilla.

I suggest to wait for Michael Albinus to chime in, perhaps he will
have some insight on this.

I've tested on a FreeBSD 10 system, with Emacs compiled according to the
emacs-26.2 git tag. Also not reproducible.

Maybe you have some global init files which make the difference? Try

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q --eval "(global-auto-revert-mode 1)"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

'top' for emacs starts with 5% cpu, and decreases then.

On that FreeBSD 10 system, I cannot run X applications (it is a limited
virtual machine). So you could also try in order to have my config


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q -nw --eval "(global-auto-revert-mode 1)"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.

Hi!

Thanks for testing. Syncing world + kernel (my world was a couple of
months older than the kernel) and/or reinstalling emacs seem to have
fixed the problem so we can close this.
