Steven Rostedt af52a90a14 sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ ... Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also caused the irqoff self tests to fail. What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum. The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod. On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies (which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead. The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock forward by several jiffies. This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle. This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check when nohz has updated the jiffies again.
