This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xen/events: Handle VIRQ_TIMER before any other hardirq in event loop. to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 3ab56a2ad53d95cd504668a6d7749a4273791cfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@citrix.com> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:03:36 -0400 Subject: xen/events: Handle VIRQ_TIMER before any other hardirq in event loop. commit bee980d9e9642e96351fa3ca9077b853ecf62f57 upstream. This avoids any other hardirq handler seeing a very stale jiffies value immediately after wakeup from a long idle period. The one observable symptom of this was a USB keyboard, with software keyboard repeat, which would always repeat a key immediately that it was pressed. This is due to the key press waking the guest, the key handler immediately runs, sees an old jiffies value, and then that jiffies value significantly updated, before the key is unpressed.
