i took GPIO17 to measure _dwc2_hcd_irq and GPIO18 to measure _dwc2_hcd_urb_enqueue (patch against 4.11rc1 below).

So i made my observations for 3 test cases:

1) no serial converter connected (idle)
2) 1 FTDI serial converter connected
3) 1 PL2303 serial converter connected

case   | ksoftirq cpu     | mean duration | max duration  | max duration | urb_enqueue  |
       |                  | hcd_irq       | hcd_irq       | urb_enqueue  | within 10 sec|
-------+------------------+---------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+
idle   | 0.0%             | 2 us          | 16.5 us       |     12 us    | 5            |
FTDI   | 25.0%            | 8.5 us        | 18.0 us       |  31000 us    | ~ 400        |
PL2303 | top doesn't work | 8.5 us        | 22.5 us       | 900000 us    | 4            |

So it seems the serial USB driver has also an impact. In the analyzer trace the FTDI triggers many smaller urb_enqueue calls in the opposite to the PL2303 which only has few but huge calls.

Additional notes:
After closing the serial connection to the FTDI the system is usable as before. In case of PL2303 i need to disconnect the converter in order to get a usable system.

Why do they behave so differently?
Are these results of a overload?
Doug, can you point me to your timing patch?

Thanks
Stefan
