------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-31 08:32 ------- When the processor sees a C2 Stop Clock, it generates a Stop Grant message to the SB. In such a situation an interrupt that is pending can only be serviced after the processor sees a stop clock deaasertion message. This might add latency to the interrupt service and hence the warning messages reported by Linux. There are 2 ways to get around this - 1. Interrupt pending message - AMD 64 architecture has implemented an MSR which when setup by the BIOS enables our processor to generate an interrupt pending hypertransport message to the SB when an interrupt is pending and a stop clock is recieved by the processor. This message is followed by the stop grant message by the processor. The SB is then supposed to generate a stop clock deassert immidiately allowing the processor to service this pending interrupt. 2. Some new SB's do not require the interrupt pending message as they perceive that an interrupt is pending when a stop clock was sent and hence generate a wakeup event and/or stop clock deassert allowing the processor to handle this pending interrupt. I would suggest getting in touch with your hardware manufacturer (HP?) and finding out if any of the above are supported. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
