From 423bd69e69f565167ba14e2fe61df76c3c4a0d26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Lynch Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 01:50:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Change clocksource name if CP15 unavailable The arm and arm64 VDSOs need CP15 access to the architected counter. If this is unavailable (which is allowed by ARM v7), indicate this by changing the clocksource name to "arch_mem_counter" before registering the clocksource. Suggested by Stephen Boyd.
