 Can xenomai preempt its own system calls? We ran latency with our  
 app.  We had a thread waiting on a cond, and when we signaled that  
 cond, the latency jumped from ~70us to almost 400us even though  
 latency runs a higher priority thread than the thread that we wake up.  
 Is there interrupt disabling that accounts for this?
 
 Here are the results as taken by Mark S.

As I told you in a voluntarily detailed private mail, only the traces
made by the I-pipe tracer are of any interest for us.

 Gilles and list,
 I have tested out your latest patch with 2.4maint, 2.627.19.  It
 appears to work fine, no crashes related to 3dnow and no floating
 point issues.  However, we are observing rather high latencies.  This
 is without the hack described in the above thread.
 /proc/xenomai/timer shows clockdev as tsc.  At around 2.5 minutes , I
 did an ls in a while loop over a telnet connection in order to raise
 cpu usage to 22%.  Appended are the latency results.

The latency results do not tell us much. Please send us traces made by
the I-pipe tracer.
