Thank you Bryan for the correction, I did after all ask for it :)
One final question while I've got you that your response didn't seemingly address. Does the cyclic subsystem allow turning off the cpu timer entirely ala Linux's nohz_full? If so, I stand corrected.
- bcantrill 10y agoYes, it does -- the cyclic subsystem will only fire on CPUs that have a cyclic scheduled, which won't be any CPU that is engaged in interrupt sheltering via psradm.[1] This is how it is able to achieve hard real-time latency (and indeed, was used for some hardware-in-the-loop flight simulator systems in the defense sector that had very tight latency tolerence).
