[150/272] intel_idle: open broadcast clock event

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Feb 15 2011 - 19:22:35 EST


2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2a2d31c8dc6f1ebcf5eab1d93a0cb0fb4ed57c7c upstream.

Intel_idle driver uses CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT
for broadcast clock events. The _ENTER/_EXIT doesn't really open broadcast clock
events, please see processor_idle.c for an example. In some situation, this will
cause boot hang, because some CPUs enters idle but local APIC timer stalls.
