This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.32.  Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Comment 1 Shawn Starr 2010-02-07 20:04:34 UTC 
This is reproducible with non-KMS also, -rc7 has not seen this yet. But I still haven't stressed -rc7 enough.
Comment 2 Jérôme Glisse 2010-02-11 14:00:30 UTC 
I don't this is a regression, Shawn you did merge by yourself radeon-testing right ? So this isn't a natural 2.6.33-rc* kernel. Please confirm if you see this or not with a stock 2.6.33-rc*.

Also i wonder how kms can affect jcpu ...
Comment 3 Shawn Starr 2010-02-12 18:18:28 UTC 
I can confirm this is not due to Radeon as im using the intel GPU and see

spstarr   6085 7696761  0.0 18992 2024 pts/6   Ss   12:57 21114581:29 /bin/bash
spstarr   6092 152211946  0.0 18936 1364 pts/6 S+   12:58 21114581:29 top


It seems to be a real kernel regression.

As of 2.6.33-rc7 last night's linus's tree still.
Comment 4 Shawn Starr 2010-02-12 18:21:32 UTC 
We should rename this to drop references to radeon as it is not related.

With 2.6.32.36 x86_64 I can reproduce these CPU times by running latencytop 0.4 for a few seconds.
