Hello, I noticed many of my tests were bogus, as somehow my "-t NUM" argument is not parsed properly on my target: Linux efika 2.6.25.4-rt6 #10 PREEMPT RT Thu Jun 12 00:34:11 CEST 2008 ppc unknown cyclictest 0.21 (with some extra argument printing added) root@efika:~# /cyclictest -t 2 -n -p 50 threads = 1 started with interval 1000 T: 0 ( 1178) P:50 I:1000 C: 333 Min: 45 Act: 46 Avg: 49 Max: 100 root@efika:~# /cyclictest -t2 -n -p 50 threads = 2 started with interval 1000 started with interval 1500 on my x86/32 system the same happens (with -t 4 it defaults to 2 because it's a dual-core, with -t4 it works). leon@witty:/tmp$ sudo ./cyclictest -t 4 -p 50 threads = 2 started with interval 1000 started with interval 1500 0.02 0.07 0.14 1/231 11760 T: 0 (11759) P:50 I:1000 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 T: 1 (11760) P:49 I:1500 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 leon@witty:/tmp$ sudo ./cyclictest -t4 -p 50 threads = 4 started with interval 1000 started with interval 1500 started with interval 2000 started with interval 2500 0.01 0.06 0.14 1/233 11765 T: 0 (11762) P:50 I:1000 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 T: 1 (11763) P:49 I:1500 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 T: 2 (11764) P:48 I:2000 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 T: 3 (11765) P:47 I:2500 C: 0 Min:1000000 Act: 0 Avg: 0 Max:-1000000 At this moment I am puzzled, but I suspect the optional_argument handling.
