Aaro Koskinen reported an issue in bug #15366, where on non-GENERIC_TIME
systems,
accessing /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource would oops the system.
It seems the timekeeper/clocksource rework missed initializing the
curr_clocksource value in the !GENERIC_TIME.
The following patch makes sure it gets initialized, and avoids the
issue.
Thanks to Aaro for reporting and diagnosing the issue as well as testing
the fix!
Bug Details: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15366
Too late for 2.6.33, but this likely should go into 2.6.33-stable and
2.6.32-stable.
thanks
