Subject: [30/98] nohz: Prevent clocksource wrapping during idle
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@...com>
commit 98962465ed9e6ea99c38e0af63fe1dcb5a79dc25 upstream.
The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a
single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the
worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of
the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of
time.
Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the
current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the
clock source is registered.
[ tglx: simplified the code a bit and massaged the commit msg ]
