Marking these clock event devices with C3_STOP so that during lowpower states, the tick is managed by wakeup capable broadcast timer. Will tells me that the arch timers don't stop in low power modes, they just can't produce wakeup events. Apparantly the spec says: The system counter must be implemented in an always-on power domain. Use of lower-frequency modes must not affect the implemented accuracy. Are you sure your above description of the problem is correct? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-omap in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Use of lower-frequency modes must not affect the implemented accuracy. Are you sure your above description of the problem is correct? Yes. Will is right. The arch timers don't stop with a real time counter implementation. The issue is they are not wakeup capable hence you need a broad-cast switching which in turn needs C3_STOP.
