[GIT pull] clocksource fixes for 4.17

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun May 06 2018 - 03:59:37 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

The recent addition of the early TSC clocksource breaks on machines which
have an unstable TSC because in case that TSC is disabled, then the
clocksource selection logic falls back to the early TSC which is obviously
bogus. That also unearthed a few robustness issues in the clocksource
derating code which are addressed as well.

Thanks,

tglx

------------------>
Peter Zijlstra (6):
x86/tsc: Always unregister clocksource_tsc_early
clocksource: Allow clocksource_mark_unstable() on unregistered clocksources
clocksource: Initialize cs->wd_list
x86/tsc: Fix mark_tsc_unstable()
clocksource: Consistent de-rate when marking unstable
clocksource: Rework stale comment
