Need help on Suspend on RAM

Need help on Suspend on RAM

[Francesco VIRLINZI]

Hi all
I'm working on Suspend on RAM on kernel 2.6.23.17 on a Sh4 based platform.
The suspend on RAM seems really working.
But it I suspend the board more then 3/4 times than the system doesn't 
resume the user space
 but via JTAG I see the kernel is running.

I enabled CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP and the kernel prints:

|BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0|

Moreover I installed the patch suggested in http://lwn.net/Articles/287024/
and it seems the kernel is running in:
-   run_timer_softirq


and doing some other test I can confirm the kernel is really there...

In the board there is no real RTC... All the 'time' is based on the 
system timer
 and between suspend/resume the timer is really stopped.

Do you have some suggestion?

Regards
Ciao
 Francesco

Hi all
I think I find a fix (?)
In the file:
kernel/time/timekeeping.c
I'm removing the functions:
 - timekeeping_suspend and
 - timekeeping_resume
I forgot to say that I have no real ClockSource (this means that in 
suspend also the clocksource is suspended...)

Could it be a fix or there is an other solution?
Regards
 Francesco

Simply commenting this out is probably not the right solution.. could
you find why it breaks your system and talk to tglx?
