[PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 17/63] timers, sched_clock: Update timeout for clock wrap

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

 



From: David Engraf <david.engraf@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1b8955bc5ac575009835e371ae55e7f3af2197a9 ]

The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock
wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register()
after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap
timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock
already wrapped.

On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than
the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.
