2.6.20-rc4-rt3 on i.MX oopses !?

[Steven Scholz]

Hi all,

anyone tried 2.6.20-rc4-rt3 on an i.MX board?

On my mx1ads I get

Sascha, do you know if your clocksource/clockevent patches made it into
mainline?

Thanks!

get_next_event_device() looks like this:

static int get_next_event_device(void)
{
        struct local_events *devices = &__get_cpu_var(local_eventdevices);
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < devices->installed; i++) {
                struct clock_event_device *evt;

                evt = devices->events[i].event;
                if (evt->capabilities & CLOCK_CAP_NEXTEVT)
                        return i;
        }

        if (global_eventdevice.event->capabilities & CLOCK_CAP_NEXTEVT)
                return GLOBAL_CLOCK_EVENT;

        return -ENODEV;
}

Loop through all available devices and search for one with CLOCK_CAP_NEXTEVT.
If none is found global_eventdevice is dereferenced, which isn't set
when you have no clock_event_device at all. Have you got the i.MX
clockevent patch applied? You can get the latest version here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0701.1/0478.html

Maybe we could emit a warning message here instead of oopsing.

Clocksource yes, clockevent no
