In SMP systems, GFRC is used for clocksource. However by default the counter keeps running even when core is halted (say when debugging via a JTAG debugger). This confuses Linux timekeeping and triggers flase RCU stall splat such as below: | [ARCLinux]# while true; do ./shm_open_23-1.run-test ; done | Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects | hrtimer: interrupt took 485060 ns | | create_cnt: 1000 | Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects | [ARCLinux]# INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU | 2-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=a01/1/0 softirq=135770/135773 fqs=0 | INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: | 0-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=71e/0/0 softirq=135264/135264 fqs=0 | 2-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=a01/1/0 softirq=135770/135773 fqs=0 | 3-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=4e0/0/0 softirq=134304/134304 fqs=0 | (detected by 1, t=13648 jiffies, g=31493, c=31492, q=1) Starting from ARC HS v3.0 it's possible to tie GFRC to state of up-to 4 ARC cores with help of GFRC's CORE register where we set a mask for cores which state we need to rely on. We update cpu mask every time new cpu came online instead of using hardcoded one or using mask generated from "possible_cpus" as we want it set correctly even if we run kernel on HW which has fewer cores than expected (or we launch kernel via debugger and kick fever cores than HW has) Note that GFRC halts when all cores have halted and thus relies on programming of Inter-Core-dEbug register to halt all cores when one halts.
