An easy way to do it is either setting idle=poll or enabling the "--dma-latency 0" in timerlat. But this is only a "problem" for timerlat/cyclictest, not for oslat/osnoise as they measure the noise as they run - so they CPU does not go idle. > > Yes, that is expected on timerlat in an isolated CPU.
