Subject: [PATCH 3/9] sched/clock: Initialize all per-cpu state before switching (back) to unstable
Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 16:57:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170421150734.009734988@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170421145756.305735607@infradead.org>

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sched-clock-rubarb-4.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3201 bytes --]

In preparation for not keeping the sched_clock_tick() active for
stable TSC, we need to explicitly initialize all per-cpu state
before switching back to unstable.

Note: this patch looses the __gtod_offset calculation; it will be
restored in the next one.
