From f1c39625d63c9f8eba8f036429c10a9cb9e32920 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 09:54:24 -0700 Subject: xen: use non-tracing preempt in xen_clocksource_read() The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results in infinite recursion. I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect kvm_clocksource_read().
