Subject: Possible regression due to "tick: broadcast: Prevent livelock from
 event handler"

Hi Thomas,

I have observed what appears to be a regression while testing next-20150702
which seems to be caused by 2951d5c031a3 ("tick: broadcast: Prevent
livelock from event handler").

The problem manifests on the emev2/kzm9d board as per the boot log below.

The problem manifests when booting using the shmobile_defconfig,
which uses multiplatform and enables all devices using DT.

The problem does not appear to always manifest but anecdotally it
seems to manifest more often of late (yes, I know that is vague).

This problem was reported to me by Geert Uytterhoeven.
Kevin Hillman has also reported problems reliably booting the emev2/kzm9d board.


Please note that in order to boot 2951d5c031a3 on the emev2/kzm9d board
using the shmobile_defconfig the following is required:
6b442bc81337 ("nohz: Fix !HIGH_RES_TIMERS hang").
