In SMP systems, GFRC is used for clocksource. However by default the counter keeps running even when core is halted (say when debugging via a JTAG debugger). This confuses Linux timekeeping and triggers flase RCU stall splat such as below: | [ARCLinux]# while true; do ./shm_open_23-1.run-test ; done | Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects | hrtimer: interrupt took 485060 ns | | create_cnt: 1000 | Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects | [ARCLinux]# INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU | 2-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=a01/1/0 softirq=135770/135773 fqs=0 | INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: | 0-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=71e/0/0 softirq=135264/135264 fqs=0 | 2-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=a01/1/0 softirq=135770/135773 fqs=0 | 3-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=4e0/0/0 softirq=134304/134304 fqs=0 | (detected by 1, t=13648 jiffies, g=31493, c=31492, q=1) Starting from ARC HS v3.0 it's possible to tie GFRC to state of up-to 4 ARC cores with help of GFRC's CORE register where we set a mask for cores which state we need to rely on. We update cpu mask every time new cpu came online instead of using hardcoded one or using mask generated from "possible_cpus" as we want it set correctly even if we run kernel on HW which has fewer cores than expected (or we launch kernel via debugger and kick fever cores than HW has) Note that GFRC halts when all cores have halted and thus relies on programming of Inter-Core-dEbug register to halt all cores when one halts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
