[PATCH 4.7 027/143] parisc: Fix automatic selection of cr16 clocksource

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 05 2016 - 12:47:58 EST


4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit ae141830b118c3fb5b7eab6fa7c8ab7b7224b0a4 upstream.

Commit 54b66800907 (parisc: Add native high-resolution sched_clock()
implementation) added support to use the CPU-internal cr16 counters as reliable
clocksource with the help of HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK.

Sadly the commit missed to remove the hack which prevented cr16 to become the
default clocksource even on SMP systems.
