[PATCH] i386 No Idle HZ aka dynticks 051228

From: Con Kolivas
Date: Wed Dec 28 2005 - 01:17:54 EST


Here is the latest version of the dynticks code incorporating yet another
huge rewrite.

Major Changes:
I attempted to move all timer ticks to APIC interrupts and found them
awfully unreliable on any i386 architecture, so the dependency on PIT
timer ticking is mandatory.

There are now only 3 ways to skip ticks - PIT only, PIT skipping with local
APIC disabling on UP, and APIC skipping per cpu on SMP with PIT skipping when
all cpus are idle.

The detection of and handling of all cpus busy and idle was incorrect. This
has been fixed and optimised. The tick rate on SMP is now much higher than the
previous version which was basically broken. I'm not sure yet if I can get
this rate down.

One new exported function dyn_tick_allcpus_skipping because dyn_tick_skipping
returns only if this cpu is skipping.

Lots of code cleanups simplifying greatly the dynticks setup code were
put in place.

General cleanups, optimisations, patch merging etc.

All bugs that showed up from the previous version have been fixed.
Of course that doesn't mean there won't be new ones...

Please test and comment.

Latest patch, split patches and timer utilties available here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/dyn-ticks/

Rolled up patch in this email.

Cheers,
Con
