The patch titled ACPI: add state propagation for dynamic broadcasting has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is acpi-add-state-propagation-for-dynamic-broadcasting.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ACPI: add state propagation for dynamic broadcasting From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ( This is a preparatory patch for high resolution timers and dynticks, it causes no functional changes to existing functionality. ) The local APIC timer is fast and per CPU, but it gets stopped in C3 state. On some broken systems, especially AMD based ones it gets stopped in C2. This also affects akpm's jinxed VAIO. The broadcast function informs the local APIC management code that a state which stops the local APIC is going to be entered/exited. This switches the local APIC timer to the PIT broadcast mode. The clockevents layer takes care of the distribution of events. The lapic_timer_idle_broadcast() function is an empty inline for now, which will be replaced by the later clockevents patches for the affected architectures.
