2007-05-08highres/dyntick: prevent xtime lock contentionThomas Gleixner
While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.

2007-03-16[PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangsThomas Gleixner
I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the code and the bug reports what's going on. The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion, when the non boot CPU is brought back up. The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp. nohz mode were simply wrong. Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic modes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-03-06[PATCH] Save/restore periodic tick information over suspend/resumeThomas Gleixner
The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized as a side-effect of SMP bootup.) This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

2007-02-16[PATCH] tick-management: dyntick / highres functionalityThomas Gleixner
With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers. The code which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks. The dyntick functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline. Provide also the infrastructure to support high resolution timers.

2007-02-16[PATCH] tick-management: broadcast functionalityThomas Gleixner
With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand. The broadcast function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event device. This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from IPI in power states, where the apic stops.
