Summary: gettimeofday returning 1000000 in tv_usec on
core2duo
Kernel Version: 2.6.21
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.6.20
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: core2duo T7200 (all reporters had this same CPU)
Software Environment: Linux 2.6.21, glibc 2.5
Problem Description:
gettimeofday returns 1 - 1000000 in tv_usec, not 0 - 999999 This
does not happen on any of my AMD-based 32 or 64 bit boxes, only on my
core2duo; I have 2 other reports of this problem, all on T7200's
Steps to reproduce:
call gettimeofday a lot. Eventually, you'll get 1000000 returned
in tv_usec. My
average is ~1 in 1000000 calls. I've attached my test program,
with output from
various boxes. One of the other reporters tried the test program
too, and got
similar output. .config will be attached too.
err, whoops.
I remember I already hit this and corrected it

Oh, OK.
Maybe a stable push is necessary ?
yup. Please always think of -stable when preparing fixes. I'm sure many
useful fixes are slipping past simply because those who _are_ looking out
for backportable fixes are missing things.
That makes me feel better, I have been occasionally suggesting fixes
posted here as candidates for stable, I was afraid I was being a PITA. I
forgot about the "stable" address and have been bugging greg, I'll stop
that.
Well, it seems Andrew concern about 'stable' was not right for this particular
patch, since I posted it well before 2.6.21-final, and 2.6.20 was not concerned.
