    clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable, fix crash · f79e0258
    Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
    The watchdog timer is started after the watchdog clocksource
    and at least one watched clocksource have been registered. The
    clocksource work element watchdog_work is initialized just
    before the clocksource timer is started. This is too late for
    the clocksource_mark_unstable call from native_cpu_up. To fix
    this use a static initializer for watchdog_work.
    
    This resolves a boot crash reported by multiple people.
