Dave can you confirm you're not seeing it on tilt-3.1?  Because then
we're looking at linux-linaro-3.1, config changes, bootloader, rootfs
content causing it.

If you just meant you're not seeing it on tracking, that's a different
story we need to get a packaged tracking to try.

Title:
  odd timing behaviour on panda

Status in Linaro Texas Instruments Landing Team:
  New
Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds:
  New

Bug description:
  I've got a set of benchmarks that use clock_gettime like:

      clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tbefore);

      for(l=0;l<numloops;l++) {
         dostuff
      }

      clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tafter);

      nsdiff=(double)(tafter.tv_nsec - tbefore.tv_nsec);
      nsdiff+=1000000000.0 *(tafter.tv_sec - tbefore.tv_sec);

  
  and I've just reinstalled our local panda to using Linaro 11.09 (kernel 3.0.0-1404-linaro-lt-omap)
  and it's starting to get weird timing artifacts.

  For example:

  smarter_strlen_ldrd: ,102400, loops of ,62, bytes=6.054688 MB, transferred in ,3936768.000000 ns, giving, 1537.984331 MB/s
  smarter_strlen_ldrd: ,102400, loops of ,32, bytes=3.125000 MB, transferred in ,0.000000 ns, giving, inf MB/s
  smarter_strlen_ldrd: ,102400, loops of ,16, bytes=1.562500 MB, transferred in ,4180909.000000 ns, giving, 373.722557 MB/s

  Now there is no way that loop took 0.000000 ns!  Running the same
  binary on an older installation runs fine.
