Summary: Unstable clocksource reported
Product: Power Management
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.21.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: cpufreq
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Not known
Distribution: Debian Sid
Hardware Environment: AMD Athlon64 San Diego 4000+
Software Environment: Tickless Timer Support (64bit CPU, but 32bit system) Problem Description:
Every time if I activate the 'ondemand' powersave gorvener, dmesg reports following:

Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.
Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -245560788 ns)

This thing needs at booting up ~ 2-10 seconds, which is a lot of time, so I think this is a bug.

My kernel config with all my inbuilded powersave features etc. is in attached.

Steps to reproduce:
Just do a "/bin/echo 'ondemand' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor".
