This caused scheduling weirdnesses.
What weirdnesses? Did you actually see any? Hard data please. I don't like this because right now it will effectively disable TSC use on anything with pstate invariant TSC and using cpufreq: that is all modern AMD systems. This is IMHO a serious bug in the timer subsystem which I intend to fix. Also I don't see where your instability should come from. AFAIK there are only minor hickups in the result which shouldn't be a problem IMHO. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
