Message-ID: <48402064.6030400@googlemail.com> Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 17:42:28 +0200 From: Gabriel C <nix.or.die@...glemail.com> To: linux-next@...r.kernel.org CC: Linux Kernel list <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de> Subject: linux-next: strange CPU calibration Hi Ingo , Thomas , on 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530 ( probably in earlier -next releases I didn't checked yet ) the CPU calibration is random wrong on my box with an Core2Quad CPU. The box is running x86_64 kernel. After rebooting the box ( using 'reboot command' ) from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530 I get : ... [4294014.566475] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5002.58 BogoMIPS (lpj=2501294) [4294014.586558] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 2822.66 BogoMIPS (lpj=1411331) [4294014.668546] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 2822.69 BogoMIPS (lpj=1411348) [4294014.751533] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 2822.68 BogoMIPS (lpj=1411343) ... CPU0 is fine the other 3 cores wrong. ( full dmesg : http://frugalware.org/~crazy/next-calibration/2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530-dmesg_wrong_calibration_1 ) Now rebooting 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530 -> 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530 ( using shutdown -r now this time ) I get : ... [4294014.566476] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 5002.57 BogoMIPS (lpj=2501288) [4294014.587558] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 4999.71 BogoMIPS (lpj=2499858) [4294014.660547] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 6899.61 BogoMIPS (lpj=3449809) [4294014.733536] Calibrating delay using timer specific routine.. 4999.73 BogoMIPS (lpj=2499865) ... CPU0 , CPU1 , CPU3 fine and CPU2 only wrong. ( full dmesg: http://frugalware.org/~crazy/next-calibration/2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530-dmesg_wrong_calibration_2 ) Finally when I halt the box wait a bit and power up again I get all right : ...
