I left over night following simple app which runs inside linux VM (pinned to CPU1). and displays how much ticks happened during the 1 second sleep. I found several occasions where sleep was taking much longer.
code: #include<sys/time.h> #include<time.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<stdint.h> #define CPUSPEED 2533422000 static __inline__ uint64_t getticks(void) { unsigned a, d; asm("cpuid"); asm volatile("rdtsc" : "=a" (a), "=d" (d)); return (((uint64_t)a) | (((uint64_t)d) << 32)); } int main() { uint64_t t0,t1; while (1) { t0 = getticks(); sleep(1); t1 = getticks(); printf("Ticks: %lu delta:%lu\n",t1-t0, t1-t0-CPUSPEED); } return 0; } Sample1: Ticks: 2533748354 delta:326354 Ticks: 2533785458 delta:363458 Ticks: 2533889852 delta:467852 Ticks: 13309910165 delta:10776488165 Ticks: 2533823762 delta:401762 Ticks: 2533817164 delta:395164 Ticks: 2533894302 delta:472302 Sample2: Ticks: 2533896753 delta:474753 Ticks: 2533876689 delta:454689 Ticks: 2533783931 delta:361931 Ticks: 20528401242 delta:17994979242 Ticks: 2533904102 delta:482102 Ticks: 2533740733 delta:318733 Ticks: 2533856266 delta:434266 Sample3: Ticks: 2533761095 delta:339095 Ticks: 2533652242 delta:230242 Ticks: 2533855141 delta:433141 Ticks: 18943955180 delta:16410533180 Ticks: 2533780954 delta:358954 Ticks: 2533923283 delta:501283 Ticks: 2533909033 delta:487033 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307473 Title: guest hang due to missing clock interrupt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1307473/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
