From f695cf94837de53864180400cbac42cfa370426f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:38:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] time: Fix change_clocksource locking change_clocksource() fails to grab locks or call timekeeping_update(), which leaves a race window for time inconsistencies. This adds proper locking and a call to timekeeping_update() to fix this.
