Subject: [PATCH] Make sched_clock() work in early boot
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 19:59:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050816195916.GA753838@dragonfly.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
Turning on PRINTK_TIME causes us to die in early boot when sched_clock()
tries to access per-cpu data which isn't set up yet.
We can avoid this by doing a speculative load on the per-cpu data and
just returning zero if we fail. This matches the way sched_clock()
appears to behave on most other arches if it gets called before we
know the cpu frequency.
