From 1be396794897f80bfc8774719ba60309a9e3d374 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:47:20 +0200 Subject: timekeeping: Move reset of cycle_last for tsc clocksource to tsc change_clocksource resets the cycle_last value to zero then sets it to a value read from the clocksource. The reset to zero is required only for the TSC clocksource to make the read_tsc function work after a resume. The reason is that the TSC read function uses cycle_last to detect backwards going TSCs. In the resume case cycle_last contains the TSC value from the last update before the suspend. On resume the TSC starts counting from 0 again and would trip over the cycle_last comparison. This is subtle and surprising. Move the reset to a resume function in the tsc code.
