Re: Time in suspended mode has second resolution

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On suspend, timekeeping_suspend() saves the current time from RTC,
and restores that on resume. Since it truncates the time to second
resolution, and the TSC has just been zeroed on poweroff, the following
can happen:

last_jiffies_update = second.nanosec;
timekeeping_suspend_time = get_rtc_time();
suspend
resume
xtime.tv_sec = timekeeping_suspend_time;

So the system might end up with the current time set with a
value lower than last_jiffies_update, causing "delta" from
tick_do_update_jiffies64() to be negative. The end result is that the
system spends more time than necessary in cpu_idle(), until "delta"
becomes positive (which can take hundreds of ms).

The proposed fix is to zero last_jiffies_update on resume. Note: if
cpu_idle() is invoked before timekeeping_resume has had a chance to run,
a negative delta on tick_do_update_jiffies64() will be seen, so a proper
fix would be to zero it in early_resume.

Are there any side effects of zeroing last_jiffies_update like this?

TIA

Bullshit.
