That is good news, all the Xenomai and I-pipe patches were merged.

Seems to be fixed, thanks!

I just compared generic and non-generic rthal_timer_request and already
tried "return 1" but did not realized that "1G/Hz" is correct return value.

I was going to check this real soon (tonight probably). At this point
the only timer which should be in the list is the host timer. From
memory, the host timer is or was installed in ksrc/nucleus/timer.c or
ksrc/nucleus/pod.c depending on the return value of rthal_timer_request.
rthal_timer_request implementation depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.

So, since we have not checked for some time the code in the case where
this option is disabled, rthal_timer_request return value is probably
now interpreted as meaning that we do not need a host timer, whereas we
need one.

This is my hypothesis at least, but I need to check exactly what happens.

Looks like S3C2440 is one of the few systems that have
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS off (see Kconfig). Other systems seem to turn it on.

Today I found that the problem is reproduceable on an emulator. There is
a fork of qemu that emulates mini2440 board, it is here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/mini2440.git . Now I test on the emulator first
as it is faster and does not wear out board's flash.

It is a bit hacked, i.e. you have to have a bootloader in
./mini2440/u-boot.bin and so on but it is quite usable.

These are for the setup calibration (rthal_calibrate_timer).

> ipipe_mach_set_dec: 42186

This is the call to __ipipe_mach_release_timer, at the end of
calibration, which should put the timer back under Linux control, in
auto-reload mode.

Linux ticks, set_dec is not called, because the timer auto-reloads.

> Xenomai: real-time nucleus v2.5.6 (Wormhole Wizards) loaded.
> ipipe_mach_set_dec: 42187

Here the timer goes under Xenomai control, ipipe_mach_timerstolen is set
to 1.

First timer interrupt, should trig a call to Xenomai tick timer handler,
which should reprogram the next timer. At this time, there is only one
timer in Xenomai's list: the host timer, so, we should see an
set_dec(42186) again.

The problem probably comes from the fact that you are running with
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, I will try and reproduce this on different
hardware.

Ok, so there is a timer interrupt which does not result in reprogramming
the timer, all you need to find out is why... Could you print the tsc
value for each of these printks?
Also, have you tried putting the call to the tsc update function in the
acktimer function?

It may also happen that the timer has a lower limit, when the reload
parameter is below this limit, you shoud call ipipe_trigger_irq, as
explained in the porting guide.

I double-checked this. Yes, __ipipe_halt_root is called.

If I just run the kernel "as is", it hangs with the following stack:

s3c24xx_default_idle (sleep is done correctly, no IRQs are coming!)
arch_idle
__ipipe_halt_root
cpu_idle

To ensure the timer is not stopped when CPU going to sleep, I hacked
s3cxx_default_idle by replacing its entire contents with

for (i = 0; i < 1; ++i) { __asm__ __volatile__ ("nop"); }
return;

Now I'm sure timers aren't blocked by the sleep command. Now the
debugger shows that it enters __ipipe_halt_root and s3cxx_default_idle
over and over again, nothiung else seems to happen.

You should make sure that pm_idle == default_idle. In this case,
__ipipe_halt_root is called instead of arch_idle, and everything should
work.
