Hi,
Azndrew Morton: > What is 2.6.17-test-1.29?
My test build; standard kernel during bisection.

checking TSC synchronization across 4 CPUs: +CPU#0 had 748437 usecs TSC skew, fixed it up. +CPU#1 had 748437 usecs TSC skew, fixed it up. +CPU#2 had -748437 usecs TSC skew, fixed it up. +CPU#3 had -748437 usecs TSC skew, fixed it up. Brought up 4 CPUs -migration_cost=4000,8000 +migration_cost=85,1724
... but apparently, that skew is not corrected.
These numbers do match the difference in observed "date" outputs.
