Subject: TSC not updating after resume: Bug or Feature?
Hi,
I am using ftrace to get a detailed timing analysis of the resume process
on the OLPC XO laptop and am seeing that when we start running again, the
system timestamep is not being updated for several (hundreds of) thousands
of cycles (~2000 ftrace entries). From following the ftrace, what is
happening is that the clocksource is not updated until we run the cpu_idle()
thread due to an explicit scheduling operation in the resume path that occurs
via call to msleep from pci_set_power_state(). As I'm still fully groking the
timekeeping code, the question(s) I have is whether this is expected behaviour
and I should not assume valid timestamp data in the initial bits of the suspend path,
whether this is an OLPC-specific bug, or whether I've uncovered a generic bug in
the timekeeping implementation. This is on 2.6.27.7 as I've not gotten 28-rc
up and running on the XO but can move that up in priority if this behaviour
is different in newer kernels.
Thanks,
~Deepak
