From 0d905bca23aca5c86a10ee101bcd3b1abbd40b25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 19:13:30 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: initialize the per-cpu context earlier percpu scheduling for perfcounters wants to take the context lock, but that lock first needs to be initialized. Currently it is an early_initcall() - but that is too late, the task tick runs much sooner than that. Call it explicitly from the scheduler init sequence instead.
