Having upgraded to the latest TI kernel, I noticed a large number of timer interrupts. From itop:
INT NAME RATE MAX 57 [ 100000.ethernet] 6 Ints/s (max: 7) 58 [ 100000.ethernet] 6 Ints/s (max: 6) 84 [ _timer] 10203 Ints/s (max: 10230) Seem to get a consistent 10KHz set of interrupts from _timer (on an idle system). Booting with the 3.8-bone latest kernel does not show this behaviour. Also rather confusingly this behaviour seems to be non consistent, in that I have a pretty much identical bone running the TI kernel that does not seem to have the same problem: INT NAME RATE MAX 57 [ 100000.ethernet] 8 Ints/s (max: 8) 58 [ 100000.ethernet] 6 Ints/s (max: 6) 84 [ _timer] 35 Ints/s (max: 37) Anyone any idea what is going on here ?
