Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cputime: Use local_clock() for full dynticks cputime accounting
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:28:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361636925-22288-3-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361636925-22288-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>

Running the full dynticks cputime accounting with preemptible
kernel debugging trigger the following warning:

	[    4.488303] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: init/1

We use sched_clock() to perform and fixup the cputime accounting.
However we are calling it with preemption enabled from the read side,
which trigger the bug above.

To fix this up, use local_clock() instead. It takes care of preemption
and also provide a more reliable clock source. This is welcome for
this kind of statistic that is widely relied on in userspace.
