X-Git-Tag: v6.11-rc1~95^2~23
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7464c0762e96904b6bf686a4dc8b3255adf1c890;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

MIPS: csrc-r4k: Don't register as sched_clock if unfit

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.
