    [PATCH] time initialisation fix · 88fecaa2
    john stultz authored
    We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run.
    But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with
    local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die.
    
    Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init().
    
    We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's
    machine.  That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem.  THe patch adds a little
    bit of debugging to detect that.
    
    This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot
    keeps on biting us.
