Subject: futex timeout not working? (bisected)
Hi Thomas,
I received a bug report from Stefan Liebler that certain futex timeouts
do not work anymore at least on s390 (see test case below).
I did a quick bisect which ended at this commit:
868a3e915f7f5eba8f8cb4f7da2276760807c51c is the first bad commit
commit 868a3e915f7f5eba8f8cb4f7da2276760807c51c

hrtimer: Make offset update smarter
On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the
clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom.
Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of
the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the
hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or
not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.

Before that commit the testcase below failed after 0.5s, like expected. With
that commit the timer doesn't seem to expire. See also /proc/timer_list which
I added below when running kernel version 4.3.0-rc5.
Do you have an idea what's wrong here?
Thanks,
Heiko

if (ret == -1)

perror ("futex-syscall returned with an error:");
}
printf ("ret = %d\n", ret);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Output of /proc/timer_list (a.out is the process in question).
