Subject: [58/71] clocksource: Install completely before selecting
Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 11:05:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110519180559.809061083@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110519180626.GA16555@kroah.com>

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>

commit e05b2efb82596905ebfe88e8612ee81dec9b6592 upstream.

Christian Hoffmann reported that the command line clocksource override
with acpi_pm timer fails:

 Kernel command line: <SNIP> clocksource=acpi_pm
 hpet clockevent registered
 Switching to clocksource hpet
 Override clocksource acpi_pm is not HRT compatible.
 Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode.

The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we
actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into
the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch
to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to
debug timekeeping related problems in early boot.

Put the selection call last.
