From cbe62e2b4a764aa3f9a2b9c9004f8e86a1f0ade8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 14:28:03 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix SMP time initialization problem We were getting the last_jiffy per-cpu variable set ahead of the current timebase in smp_space_timers on SMP machines. This caused the loop in timer_interrupt to loop virtually forever, since tb_ticks_since assumes that it will never be called with the timebase behind the last_jiffy value.
