Subject: [RFC 0/4] Using HPET in MSI mode and setting up per CPU HPET timers
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:02:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080906010214.229910000@intel.com> (raw)
Patchset that uses HPET timers in MSI mode (when supported) and sets up per
CPU HPET timers. This removes the dependency on IRQ0 timer broadcast with LAPIC
stopping in deep C-state, on platforms that support HPET MSI mode.
On my test system with dual core CPU, the number of timer related interrupts
(HPET_MSI + IRQ0 + LAPIC) comes down from 180 to 95 over a period of 10s,
with these patches.
This is on an idle system with tickless enabled and when system is idle.
Patches against tip.
