From e4e4e534faa3c2be4e165ce414f44b76ada7208c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:50:02 +0200 Subject: sched clock: revert various sched_clock() changes Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way. After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics. (which is unsigned for performance reasons) So revert: # c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift # c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads. # af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ # f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time This solves the interactivity problems.
