More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time' problem: > Watching the /proc/interrupts with 10s apart after the "stop". > > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67355837 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67379568 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky ;-) ) insanely. this should resolve: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2544 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6296Patch-dusted-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
