From 1b8955bc5ac575009835e371ae55e7f3af2197a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Engraf Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:51:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] timers, sched_clock: Update timeout for clock wrap 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.
