The preemptirq_delay_test module is used for the ftrace selftest code that
tests the latency tracers. The problem is that it uses ktime for the delay
loop, and then checks the tracer to see if the delay loop is caught, but the
tracer uses trace_clock_local() which uses various different other clocks to
measure the latency. As ktime uses the clock cycles, and the code then
converts that to nanoseconds, it causes rounding errors, and the preemptirq
latency tests are failing due to being off by 1 (it expects to see a delay
of 500000 us, but the delay is only 499999 us). This is happening due to a
rounding error in the ktime (which is totally legit). The purpose of the
test is to see if it can catch the delay, not to test the accuracy between
trace_clock_local() and ktime_get(). Best to use apples to apples, and have
the delay loop use the same clock as the latency tracer does.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
