Subject: [GIT Pull] timer fixes for 3.14

Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

The following trilogy of patches brings you:

* Fix for a long standing math overflow issue with HZ < 60

* An onliner fix for a corner case in the dreaded tick broadcast
mechanism affecting a certain range of AMD machines which are
infested with the infamous automagic C1E power control misfeature

* A fix for one of the ARM platforms which allows the kernel to
proceed and boot instead of stupidly panicing for no good
reason. The patch is slightly larger than necessary, but it's less
ugly than the alternative 5 liner.


Thanks,

tglx

Hi Thomas,

With regard to the patch: "tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when
switching to oneshot"
isn't BROADCAST_EXIT called atleast after initializing the high
resolution timers while
handling the broadcast IPI and before re-entering idle? This should
clear the cpu bit
in the pending mask right?

idle()
|__BROADCAST_ENTER
|__halt()
|__broadcast_ipi
|__init_highres()->clear oneshot mask
|__return from interrupt->BROADCAST_EXIT (clear pending mask)
|__re-enter idle

When the cpu re-enters idle and does a BROADCAST_ENTER again, the
pending mask is cleared
and hence should not trigger a WARN_ON().

Thanks

Regards
Preeti U Murthy

Unfortunately not:

if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask)) {
clear pending mask;
}

> |__re-enter idle

Go figure :)
