Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes. However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC. Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again. So this changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0. Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems: tsc [if present & stable] hpet [if present] cyclone [if present] acpi_pm [if present] pit [if UP] jiffies Rather then the current more complicated: tsc [if present & stable] hpet [if present] cyclone [if present] acpi_pm [if present] pit [if cpus < 4] tsc [if present & unstable] jiffies Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
