ah, that's still the VAIO, right? Do you get a 'slow' LOC count on
/proc/interrupts even on a stock kernel? If yes then that's a
fundamentally sick local APIC timer interrupt. Stock kernel should show
sickness too, if for example you boot an SMP kernel on it - can you
confirm that? (the UP-IOAPIC only relies for profiling on the lapic
timer, so there the only sickness you should see on the stock kernel is
a non-working readprofile)
We'll figure out a way to detect this hardware sickness (which is
unrelated to our patchset), for now your workaround is either to turn
off local-apic-timer support (either in the config or on the kernel
bootline, in which case the high-res code will fall back to the PIT), or
to turn off high-res timers (either in the config or on the kernel
bootline).
