3.3. TSC Timer Synchronization on Opteron CPUs
The current generation of AMD64 Opteron processors can be susceptible to a large
gettimeofday skew. This skew occurs when both cpufreq and the Time Stamp Counter (TSC) are in use. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time provides a method to prevent this skew by forcing all processors to simultaneously change to the same frequency. As a result, the TSC on a single processor never increments at a different rate than the TSC on another processor.
Procedure 3.2. Enabling TSC Timer Synchronization
- Open the
/etc/default/grubfile in your preferred text editor and append the parametersclocksource=tsc powernow-k8.tscsync=1to theGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUXvariable. This forces the use of TSC and enables simultaneous core processor frequency transitions.GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rd.luks=0 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet clocksource=tsc powernow-k8.tscsync=1" - You will need to restart your system for the changes to take effect.
