* LITMUS: export CPU stagger offsetBjoern B. Brandenburg2008-11-06
| | | | Let scheduler plugins inquire stagger offsets.
* add synchronized quanta supportJohn M. Calandrino2008-04-30
| | | | | Modify offsets in such a way that quantum boundaries occur either synchronized or staggered (based on the kernel command line).
* clockevents: fix reprogramming decision in oneshot broadcastThomas Gleixner2007-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525 A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same. When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event, which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up. The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of those events can be delayed for quite a time. Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs, which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event, and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

* clockevents: warn once when program_event() is called with negative expiryThomas Gleixner2007-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | The hrtimer problem with large relative timeouts resulting in a negative expiry time went unnoticed as there is no check in the clockevents_program_event() code. Put a check there with a WARN_ONCE to avoid such problems in the future. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* softlockup: fix false positives on CONFIG_NOHZThomas Gleixner2007-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | David Miller reported soft lockup false-positives that trigger on NOHZ due to CPUs idling for more than 10 seconds. The solution is touch the softlockup watchdog when we return from idle. (by definition we are not 'locked up' when we were idle) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9409 Reported-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READJohn Stultz2007-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex() system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong results if 'delta' is NULL. add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc to fix this API compatibility bug. Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761 [ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ] NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely.

* ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erraticDavid P. Reed2007-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC) clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically. When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1 second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to "xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime" but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a "coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is needlessly incorrect, too.
