Matt attempted to add CLOCK_TAI support to the VDSO clock_gettime() implementation, which extended the clockid switch case and added yet another slightly different copy of the same code. Especially the extended switch case is problematic as the compiler tends to generate a jump table which then requires to use retpolines. If jump tables are disabled it adds yet another conditional to the existing

In 780427f0e11 (Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock gtod notifier), logic was added to pass a CLOCK_WAS_SET notification to the pvclock notifier chain. While that patch added a action flag returned from accumulate_nsecs_to_secs(), it only uses the returned value in one location, and not in the logarithmic accumulation. This means if a leap second triggered during the logarithmic

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> The high resolution timer code gets notified of step changes to the system time with clock_was_set() or clock_was_set_delayed() calls. If other parts of the kernel require similar notification there is no clear place to hook into. Add a clock_was_set atomic notifier chain (clock_was_set_notifier_list) and call this in place of clock_was_set().

With the storage array in place it's now trivial to support CLOCK_TAI in the vdso. Instead of extending the array to accomodate CLOCK_TAI, make use of the fact that: - CLOCK ids are set in stone - CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME is never going to be supported in the VDSO so the array slot 3 is unused - CLOCK_TAI is id 11 which results in 3 when masked with 0x3 Add the mask to the basetime array

Greg, A few days ago you applied all the outstanding patches for the Hyper-V drivers. With these patches, I have addressed all of the known review comments for the vmbus driver (and a lot of comments/issues in other drivers as well). I am still hoping I can address whatever other issues/comments there might be with the intention to get the vmbus driver out of staging in the current window.

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Instead of passing multiple bools to timekeeping_updated(), define flags and use a single ''action'' parameter. It is then more obvious what each timekeeping_update() call does. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> --- kernel/time/timekeeping.c | 21 ++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 12

Here's couple of patches to improve the softlockup watchdog. The first changes the softlockup timer from using jiffies to sched_clock() as a timebase. Xen and VMI implement sched_clock() as counting unstolen time, so time stolen by the hypervisor won't cause the watchdog to bite. The second adds per-cpu enable flags for the watchdog timer. This allows the timer to be disabled when the

Hey, I''m experiencing strange problem: non-deterministic PV domain hang, only on some machines (with fast SSD drive). I''ve tried xen-4.1.0 and xen-4.1.1 with many kernels different kernels: VM: - 2.6.38.3 xenlinux based on SUSE package - vanilla 3.0.3 - vanilla 3.1 rc2 dom0: - 2.6.38.3 xenlinux based on SUSE package - vanilla 3.1 rc2 Result always the same: sometimes VM

Hi Michael: Sorry to brother. But I''ve been suffered this issue quite a long time. My test environment is 2.6.32.36 + xen 4.0.1 + bnx2, 2.3. Also cpu idle is disabled in grub.
