From 07454bfff151d2465ada809bbaddf3548cc1097c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2008 10:51:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events device Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens.
