powerpc: Improve decrementer accuracy
I have been looking at sources of OS jitter and notice that after a long NO_HZ idle period we wakeup too early: relative time (us) event timer irq exit 999946.405 timer irq entry 4.835 timer irq exit 21.685 timer irq entry 3.540 timer (tick_sched_timer) entry Here we slept for just under a second then took a timer interrupt that did nothing. 21.685 us later we wake up again and do the work. We set a rather low shift value of 16 for the decrementer clockevent, which I think is causing this issue. On this box we have a 207MHz decrementer and see: clockevent: decrementer mult[3501] shift[16] cpu[0] For calculations of large intervals this mult/shift combination could be off by a significant amount. I notice the sparc code has a loop that iterates to find a mult/shift combination that maximises the shift value while keeping mult under 32bit. With the patch below we get: clockevent: decrementer mult[35015c20] shift[32] cpu[15] And we no longer see the spurious wakeups.
