Subject: [PATCH] sched: disable hrtick implementation
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:54:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AB4F2B.9070405@gawab.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080819194428.GA9997@suse.de>

The hrtick implementation in 2.6.25 and .26 has been known to cause boot
problems with at least Intel GMA cards. see:

 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15602
 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10892

A full fix to hrtick went into 2.6.27 
(31656519e132f6612584815f128c83976a9aaaef),
but that fix is too intrusive to backport. Henceforth, we default to 
disable hrtick.
