The patch titled high-res timers: fix APIC event-broadcasting code has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is clockevents-i386-drivers-high-res-timers-fix-apic-event-broadcasting-code.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: high-res timers: fix APIC event-broadcasting code From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Fix a bug in the APCI-C3-turns-off-lapic related event-broadcasting code: it accidentally reactivated the global tick, instead of the global event emulation layer. The effect of this bug was a rare bootup hang on one of my test-laptops - but it could also result in other types of timer related problems (but not hangs in an already running system), such as imprecise high-res timeouts. Debugged via SysRq-Q.
