3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ca3ba2a2f4a49a308e7d78c784d51b2332064f15 upstream. This patch bypass the timer_irq_works() check for hyperv guest since: - It was guaranteed to work. - timer_irq_works() may fail sometime due to the lpj calibration were inaccurate in a hyperv guest or a buggy host. In the future, we should get the tsc frequency from hypervisor and use preset lpj instead. [ hpa: I would prefer to not defer things to "the future" in the future... ] Cc: K. Y.
