    clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late boot · 54a6bc0b
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the
    clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu
    event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when
    the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up.
    
    The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late
    boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until
    clocksource_done_booting() is called.
