If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ae141830b118c3fb5b7eab6fa7c8ab7b7224b0a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 22:39:02 +0200 Subject: parisc: Fix automatic selection of cr16 clocksource From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> commit ae141830b118c3fb5b7eab6fa7c8ab7b7224b0a4 upstream. Commit 54b66800907 (parisc: Add native high-resolution sched_clock() implementation) added support to use the CPU-internal cr16 counters as reliable clocksource with the help of HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK. Sadly the commit missed to remove the hack which prevented cr16 to become the default clocksource even on SMP systems.
