[-- Attachment #1: init-move-sched-clock-init-after-late-time-init.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1264 bytes --]

Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.

There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
point so no real wreckage is expected.
