4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Engraf <redacted> [ Upstream commit 1b8955bc5ac575009835e371ae55e7f3af2197a9 ] The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register() after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock already wrapped. On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.
