From 01643ccd941a10cd3ff86bd5bc49e554ed866bc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Stein Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 13:25:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpu_quota hw exynos5: raise error tolerance From our observations we can tell that the error should not exceed 4%. However, there is no reasonable explanation by now why the test results are less stable on these platforms. We have tried several things that did not lead to an explanation or improvement: * changing the timing parameters of the scheduler * switching off SMP * double-checking the speed of userland and kernel timers Ref #1805 --- repos/os/run/cpu_quota.run | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/repos/os/run/cpu_quota.run b/repos/os/run/cpu_quota.run index 4040988219..211c95d8a1 100644 --- a/repos/os/run/cpu_quota.run +++ b/repos/os/run/cpu_quota.run @@ -160,6 +160,18 @@ proc check_counter { name opt cnt total_cnt } { # if {[have_spec zynq_qemu]} { set tol 0.03 } + # + # FIXME: There is no reasonable explanation by now why the test results + # are less stable on these platforms.
