Hi all, Thanks for all the comments. Here's an updated dyntick patch. Changes from last patch: - Patch from Bernard Blackham for missing for cpu_has_local_apic() - Fixed interrupt code as noted by Pavel Machek, Jonathan Corbet and Venkatesh Pallipadi. - Added kernel command line options as in the ARM patch uggested by Russell King. You now need to pass: dyntick=enable and possibly dyntick=enable,forceapic if you have a P3 system that works with dyntick with APIC. (P4 won't). You can also enable dyntick via sysfs during runtime: # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick_state - Separated debug code into another optional patch available at: http://muru.com/linux/dyntick/ Regards, Tony
