[PATCH] clocksource: exynos_mct: Fix stall after CPU hotplugging

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Tue Mar 25 2014 - 06:41:51 EST


Fix stall after hotplugging CPU1. The stall was a result of starting the
CPU1 local timer not in L1 timer but in L0 (which is used by CPU0).

Trigger:
$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu1/online && echo 1 > /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu1/online

Stall information:
[ 530.045259] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

After turning off the CPU1, the MCT L1 local timer was disabled but the
interrupt was not cleared. Turning on the CPU1 enabled the IRQ
with setup_irq() but, before setting affinity to CPU1, the pending L1 timer
interrupt was processed by CPU0 in exynos4_mct_tick_isr().

The ISR then called event handler which set up the next timer event for
current CPU (CPU0). Therefore the MCT L1 timer wasn't actually started.

Fix the stall by:
1. Setting next timer event not on current CPU but on the CPU indicated
by cpumask in 'clock_event_device'.
2. Clearing the timer interrupt upon stopping the local timer.

The patch also moves around the call to exynos4_mct_tick_stop() but this
is done only for the code readability as it is not essential for the fix.
