    x86, tsc, sched: Recompute cyc2ns_offset's during resume from sleep states · cd7240c0
    Suresh Siddha authored
    TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
    which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
    some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
    sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
    
    This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
    than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
    returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
    update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
    idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
    
    This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
    slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
    
    Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
    sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
    suspend.
