Original calling graph looked like this, I'll update this for
each patch to show what happens. Feel free to flame me, everyone.
--------------------
Assuming we're SMP with a local apic timer all firing away:
timer_interrupt
do_timer_interrupt
{ack the interrupt}
do_timer_interrupt_hook
do_timer
jiffies_64++;
update_times
{update CMOS clock} (In the interrupt still ??!!)
apic_timer_interrupt
smp_apic_timer_interrupt
{ack the interrupt}
smp_local_timer_interrupt
x86_do_profile
update_process_times
--------------------
On UP with local apic timer:
timer_interrupt
do_timer_interrupt
{ack the interrupt}
do_timer_interrupt_hook
do_timer
jiffies_64++;
update_process_times
update_times
{update CMOS clock} (In the interrupt still ??!!)
apic_timer_interrupt
smp_apic_timer_interrupt
{ack the interrupt}
smp_local_timer_interrupt
x86_do_profile
--------------------
On a UP 386 with stale crusty breadcrumbs, and no local timer:
timer_interrupt
do_timer_interrupt
{ack the interrupt}
do_timer_interrupt_hook
do_timer
jiffies_64++;
update_process_times
update_times
x86_do_profile()
{update CMOS clock} (In the interrupt still ??!!)
