Subject: [PATCH] x86/hpet: initialize hpet event_handler to noop
From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@...allels.com>
Timer interrupt can be delivered right after altering global_clock_event in
hpet_legacy_clockevent_register(). For example during rebooting via kexec
hpet might be armed by previous kernel. This spurious interrupt leads to
kernel panic, because global_clock_event->event_handler is NULL.
Probably this also might happen in less extraordinary situations.
This patch initializes hpet's event_handler to noop in its definition.
Stack-trace:
hpet_late_init()
hpet_address = force_hpet_address
hpet_enable()
hpet_clocksource_register()
hpet_legacy_clockevent_register()
hpet_enable_legacy_int()
clockevents_config_and_register()
| clockevents_register_device()
| clockevents_do_notify()
| tick_check_new_device()
| tick_check_broadcast_device()
| if (!cpumask_empty(tick_get_broadcast_mask()))
| <mask is empty -> dev->event_handler stays NULL>
global_clock_event = &hpet_clockevent;
printk(KERN_DEBUG "hpet clockevent registered\n")
timer_interrupt()
global_clock_event->event_handler()

I hope the new decription is not so bad.
