| |
Hi,
as reply to this email I have 3 further patches for the range-hrtimer patchkit:
Patch 1 and 2 change the futex and nanosleep code to also use range-hrtimers with the per process slack
Patch 3 adds a "peek-a-timer" capability; this is used from the cpuidle loop to run any soft-expired timers just before looking at how long we'll be idle (for determining the C-state etc); that way we'll have a longer idle period.
I'll add these patches to the git tree in a day or two, adjusted for comments based on this posting
