Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] MIPS: csrc-r4k: Don't register as sched_clock if unfit
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2024 09:54:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240612-mips-clks-v2-4-a57e6f49f3db@flygoat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240612-mips-clks-v2-0-a57e6f49f3db@flygoat.com>

When we have more than one CPU in system, counter synchronisation
overhead can lead to a scenario that sched_clock goes backward when
being read from different CPUs.

This is accommodated by CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, but it's
unavailable on 32bit kernel.

We don't want to risk sched_clock correctness, so if we have multiple
CPU in system and CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is not set, we just
don't use counter as sched_clock source.
