My patch moved acpi_early_init() to before timekeeping_init() is for
prepare the later using ACPI TAD to set system clock. I think that
because acpi_early_init() setup SCI interrupt and enable acpi subsystem,
it causes fast TSC calibration fail.

The late_time_init() dependent on timekeeping_init(), if we don't want
move acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init() then just direct put it
before efi_enter_virtual_mode() because we tested this changed.

This patch restricts the position to run acpi_early_init() before
timekeeping_init() when only "CMOS RTC Not Present" bit set in FADT.

Could you please help to test it on your machine?


Thanks a lot!
Joey Lee

Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init() 
when CMOS RTC Not Present bit set

This is a variant patch from Rafael J. Wysocki's
ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode()

According to Matt Fleming, if acpi_early_init() was executed before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), the EFI initialization could benefit from
it, so Rafael's patch makes that happen.

And, later we want accessing ACPI TAD device to set system clock, so
move acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init() when "CMOS RTC Not
Present" bit set. This position is also before efi_enter_virtual_mode().
