Hello,

As this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496028,
echo jiffies > clocksource0/current_clocksource make system crash.
I reproduced the problem with upstream kernel.
The root cause is that jiffies is just a variable in memory,
it relies on other clock source to tick , and it never ticks on itself.

Please review, and apply.

**The patch is enclosed in text attachment*
**Using web client to send the patch* *
**below is for review, please apply attached  patch*/

Thanks,
Luming
