From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:30:03 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: unregister PIT clocksource when PIT is disabled X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1143^2~877 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a0c009ac53de4a7664a1239936f0bc258133156;p=linux-2.6 x86: unregister PIT clocksource when PIT is disabled The following scenario might leave PIT as a disfunctional clock source: PIT is registered as clocksource PM_TIMER is registered as clocksource and enables highres/dyntick mode PIT is switched to oneshot mode -> now the readout of PIT is bogus, but the user might select PIT via the sysfs override, which would break the box as the time readout is unusable. Unregister the PIT clocksource when the PIT clock event device is switched into shutdown / oneshot mode.
