Subject: [BUG] check_tsc_sync_source: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code

Hi Ingo,
git blame on tsc_sync.c points to you :)

I'm running 2.6.21-rc2, with PREEMP and SMP. I've enabled both hrtimers
and dyntick. CPU hotplug is also configured in (for swsusp).

If I put CPU1 offline and bring it back I get the following notice:

Breaking affinity for irq 1
Breaking affinity for irq 12
Breaking affinity for irq 16
Breaking affinity for irq 18
Breaking affinity for irq 219
CPU 1 is now offline

 =======================
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 1

If I read the code correctly the warning points a serious bug, since
check_tsc_warp (which follows the printk) may sample the TSC on
different CPUs...

.config is attached.
