Ingo Molnar 126e01bf92 softlockup: fix NOHZ wakeup ... David Miller reported: |---------------> the following commit: | commit 27ec440779 | Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> | Date: Thu Feb 28 21:00:21 2008 +0100 | | sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous | | Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of | cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth. | | Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's | called frequently. | | Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> causes watchdog triggers when a cpu exits NOHZ state when it has been there for >= the soft lockup threshold, for example here are some messages from a 128 cpu Niagara2 box: [ 168.106406] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 128s!

[swapper:0] It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build. I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed before, see the thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119546414004065&w=2 <---------------| touch the softlockup watchdog when exiting NOHZ state - we are obviously not locked up.
