Next in thread: Dominik Brodowski: "fix cpufreq-ondemand by accounting skipped ticks as idle ticks [Was: [PATCH] i386 no idle HZ aka Dynticks 051203]"
Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

Here is an updated complete patch implementing no idle hz ticks
aka dynticks for i386.

Changes in this version:
-Significant rework separating out architecture dependent portions
-Bugfixes with respect to timers firing off at load
-Added dyn_early_reprogram API to allow other code to interact with
dynticks for benefit (eg ACPI) and to perform normal timers
-Make bus mastering detection code dynticks smart
-Numerous cleanups
-Latest version of timertop
-Sanity limits on max and min ticks to skip

Split out patches, timertop and pmstats utilities and latest patch available
here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/dyn-ticks/

Cheers,
Con
