The patch titled
clocksource: increase initcall priority
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
clocksource-increase-initcall-priority.patch
This patch was dropped because it is obsolete
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: clocksource: increase initcall priority
From: Daniel Walker <dwalker@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch set is meant to modify the clocksource structure and API so that it
can be used by more than just the timekeeping code. My motivation is mainly
that I feel the current clocksource interface could be used for much more than
just timekeeping. So if we keep the clocksource interface (which I think we
should) then we should get everything out of it that we can.
This set modifies the API, then converts the time keeping code over to the new
API. I also added a generic sched_clock() which just re-uses the clocksource
interface to provide a high quality scheduling clock (assuming a good
clocksource). Several ARM board just output nanoseconds based on jiffies
which is still possible with the generic sched_clock().
This patch:
Since it's likely that this interface would get used during bootup I moved all
the clocksource registration into the postcore initcall. This also eliminated
some clocksource shuffling during bootup.
