Ingo/Thomas/John/et al,
I've seen sporadic time warp messages while running my pi_stress program
(http://people.redhat.com/williams/tests/pi_tests-1.7.tar.gz). The
frequency of time warp occurrences has been gong down over time, but I
just got one on a dual Opteron running 2.6.19-rc6-rt4:
- --------------
$ sudo ./pi_stress --signal
Starting PI Stress test
Test threads using scheduler policy: SCHED_FIFO
Admin priority: 99
Reporter priority: 98
10 groups of 3 threads will be created
High priority: 97
Med priority: 96
Low priority: 95
Admin threads running on processor: 0
Test threads running on processor: 1
Press Ctrl-C to stop test
Current Inversions: 1032940
Stoppping test

The Current Inversions line is dynamically updated, but after I noticed
it had stopped updating, I looked a the console and found:
- --------------
BUG: time warp detected!

- --------------
The system was still running, but in my test the timer wasn't updating.
This was actually one of Ingo's prepackaged kernel-rt rpms, so I don't
have much debug on.
Anything you want me to try?
