We can ensure that the # timer always runs on one of the policy-cpus. If the timer gets # migrated to a cpu outside the policy then re-queue it back on the # policy->cpus. This way we can get rid of the smp-call which was being # used to set the pstate on the policy->cpus. # # Fixes: 7bc54b652f13 ("timers, cpufreq/powernv: Initialize the gpstate timer as pinned") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.8+ # Reported-by: Nicholas Piggin # Reported-by: Pridhiviraj Paidipeddi # Signed-off-by: Shilpasri G Bhat # Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin # Acked-by: Viresh Kumar # Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 daebe06ec4af252eba275f602a08086bc2bca5dc # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_defconfig+POWERNV=n_powerpc-5.3 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- pseries_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=n # yes \n | make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_defconfig+POWERNV=n_powerpc-5.3 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- oldconfig yes: standard output: Broken pipe yes: write error # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_defconfig+POWERNV=n_powerpc-5.3 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_pseries_defconfig+POWERNV=n_powerpc-5.3 # Build took: 0:02:57.280369
