From 128f3cb9398b5eeb4ee04b60bd5e314f5c122821 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:33:00 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tile: nohz: warn if nohz_full uses hypervisor shared cores The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices. It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor. Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well for the nohz_full cores in question. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf --- Reading git-format-patch failed
