From ba6edfcd1708da2e665f14eee76e87f39448ec40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 22:53:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] timer initialisation fix We need the boot CPU's tvec_bases[] entry to be initialised super-early in boot, for early_serial_setup(). That runs within setup_arch(), before even per-cpu areas are initialised. The patch changes tvec_bases to use compile-time initialisation, and adds a separate array `tvec_base_done' to keep track of which CPU has had its tvec_bases[] entry initialised (because we can no longer use the zeroness of that tvec_bases[] entry to determine whether it has been initialised). Thanks to Eugene Surovegin for diagnosing this.
