From 7d4d61544a12333600bdb9b018a149868418692e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Lynch Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 22:44:23 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] powerpc: avoid timer interrupt replay effect when onlining cpu When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was booted, if we're adding a new cpu). This can cause weird hangs, ssh sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at the wrong time.
