Could you expand on the details > here? We did some dissection to narrow down the patch, our latest kernel is stable 3.0.X , however we backported patch " ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR" from 3.0.25 stable tree, this patch causes kernel hang during boot (IRQSOFF_TRACER=y and PREEMPT_TRACER=y) with 100% probability , if we remove this patch or disable the given CONFIG's then boot is success. > > You should just end up using the jiffies clocksource, which would give you > low-res HZ granular timestamps, but shouldn't get in the way of booting. > > thanks > -john > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
