Disclaimer: I am a kernel noob, take everything I say with a rock of salt. As far as I can see, the global timer code doesn't handle frequency changes, whereas the TWD code does. Yet all these timers are clocked by PERIPHCLK, which is defined as CPUCLK / N. So if a platform enables cpufreq, CPUCLK will vary, meaning PERIPHCLK will vary. I don't see how the global timer can work in that situation. cf. also this recent thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cpufreq/15770 Regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
