commit 184c44d2049c4db7ef6ec65794546954da2c6a0e
Author: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Wed May 2 19:27:08 2007 +0200
[PATCH] x86-64: fix x86_64-mm-sched-clock-share
Fix for the following patch. Provide dummy cpufreq functions when
CPUFREQ is not compiled in.
Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Cc: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
I don't remember seeing any problem here, so I'm not entirely sure what
this was supposed to be fixing. Perhaps the -mm-esque patch name
will provide Andrew/Andi clues. It lacks sufficient information for
my brain to guess what the problem was.
"Fix for the following patch" is also something that really should
never be added to a git changelog too, because 'next' means absolutely
nothing to me, nor I expect 99% of changelog readers.
Cc's added.

Oh geeze. sched-clock-share went through about 18 different versions, was
merged, unmerged, remerged, dropped, etc. I don't recall at what stage in
this mess the above fix was inserted, sorry.

184c44d2049c4db7ef6ec65794546954da2c6a0e should never have existed,
actually. I intended that Andi fold it into the base patch prior to
sending it to Linus. He normally does that, but it looks like this
one was handled as a standalone commit for some reason.

OK, here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.21-rc5/2.6.21-rc5-mm3/broken-out/fix-x86_64-mm-sched-clock-share.patch
So I guess what we want to do here is to revert that patch, test i386
allnoconfig and then fix up anything which breaks.

Nothing breaks for me with make ARCH=i386 bzImage on my x86-64 box
(which should be the same as a native build).
The functions that complain in that patch header don't seem to actually
exist in mainline at all. (`init_sched_clock' and `call_r_s_f')
Did this patch perhaps jump the gun, and these are -mm only ?

Was that with allnoconfig?

Could be that this patch fixed version 17 of sched-clock-share and we ended
up merging verion 56. It was awful.

heh.
I think just reverting that change for .23 makes sense. It doesn't
seem that anything breaks by not having it there, and we know it
definitly breaks arm at least.

Following up on this from yesterday, Linus please revert the above cset.
It doesn't seem to be necessary (it was added to fix a miscompile in
'make allnoconfig' which doesn't seem to be repeatable with it reverted)
and actively breaks the ARM SA1100 framebuffer driver.
(If you'd prefer a patch reverting it, I'll send one, but I'm
hoping that git-revert will just dtrt).
Thanks,
Dave
