Hello, We're in the process of implementing a CI test setup for our use case and HW. Unfortunately this was not up and running when the first 5.0 RT releases became available in March. We're using the Arm64 based Zynq Ultrascale+ parts from Xilinx. We have been using 4.18 since last fall with very good results, and we see this carry through to 4.19.25-rt16. However, for the 5.0.3-rt1 release, cyclictest hits multi thousand microsecond latenies this continues all the way through to 5.0.21-rt15. For the 4.19 kernels the v11 zynqmp firmware patch is applied: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10555405/ Otherwise only a small EPROBE_AGAIN change is needed in xilinx_uartps.c on top of the rt tag. For the 5.0 kernels there are no c file changes. Both for 4.19 and 5.0 a custom devicetree is used. We've tried to make the configs as simple as possible, and for the 5.0 config we start with the 4.19 .config and say N to anything new. (I had an issue with the first email I'll follow up with the configs if this goes through). We do have trace data for a instance where cyclictest hit 5000 uS, but the file is large 11MB, and I wasn't sure if I should directly attach it to the email. What is the best way to post or send this? We would like to bisect this further, but it becomes more difficult between 4.19.25-rt16 and 5.0.3-rt1. Some other details: CPU frequency is 1.2 GHz, memory is 2GB, rootfs is debian 9. For 4.19.25-rt16 we get this (histogram removed): # ./cyclictest -S -m -n -p 99 -i 200 -h 400 -D 900 # /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us policy: fifo: loadavg: 2.58 2.77 1.93 1/122 2595 T: 0 ( 2577) P:99 I:200 C:4499985 Min: 5 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 24 T: 1 ( 2578) P:99 I:200 C:4499893 Min: 6 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 13 T: 2 ( 2579) P:99 I:200 C:4499779 Min: 6 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 33 T: 3 ( 2580) P:99 I:200 C:4499666 Min: 6 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 26 And for 5.0.3-rt1 we get: # ./cyclictest -S -m -n -p 99 -i 200 -h 400 -D 900 # /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us policy: fifo: loadavg: 4.37 4.28 2.88 1/129 2773 T: 0 ( 2757) P:99 I:200 C:4499958 Min: 5 Act: 9 Avg: 6 Max: 31 T: 1 ( 2758) P:99 I:200 C:4499500 Min: 5 Act: 7 Avg: 6 Max: 9045 T: 2 ( 2759) P:99 I:200 C:4498926 Min: 5 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 263 T: 3 ( 2760) P:99 I:200 C:4499644 Min: 5 Act: 6 Avg: 6 Max: 34 Thanks in advance for any help. -Paul
