From 6687a97d4041f996f725902d2990e5de6ef5cbe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 03:18:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] timer-irq-driven soft-watchdog, cleanups Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing softirq-context (timer) dependencies. This means that if the softlockup watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task. (the patch also turns off the softlockup detector during the initial bootup phase and does small style fixes) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/timer.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel/timer.c') diff --git a/kernel/timer.c b/kernel/timer.c index 4427e725ccd..17d956cebcb 100644 --- a/kernel/timer.c +++ b/kernel/timer.c @@ -915,6 +915,7 @@ static void run_timer_softirq(struct softirq_action *h) void run_local_timers(void) { raise_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ); + softlockup_tick(); } /* @@ -945,7 +946,6 @@ void do_timer(struct pt_regs *regs) /* prevent loading jiffies before storing new jiffies_64 value. */ barrier(); update_times(); - softlockup_tick(regs); } #ifdef __ARCH_WANT_SYS_ALARM -- cgit v1.2.3
