[RFC patch 31/32] init: Move sched_clock_init after late_time_init

From: Thomas Gleixner <hidden>
Date: 2009-08-21 21:34:17
Also in: lkml

Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.

There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
point so no real wreckage is expected.
