From 2cd4d0ea19713304963dbb2de5073700bfe253f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 13:40:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: make cpu_clock() not use the rq clock it is enough to disable interrupts to get the precise rq-clock of the local CPU. this also solves an NMI watchdog regression: the NMI watchdog calls touch_softlockup_watchdog(), which might deadlock on rq->lock if the NMI hits an rq-locked critical section.
