From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 03:13:57 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Do not use the ia64 clocksource on non-ia64 architectures X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b2b64fd311c92f2137eb7cee7025794cd854057;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git Do not use the ia64 clocksource on non-ia64 architectures The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use. On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs. Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but that is not the case right now.
