Subject: intel_idle: open broadcast clock event
From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>
commit 2a2d31c8dc6f1ebcf5eab1d93a0cb0fb4ed57c7c upstream.
Intel_idle driver uses CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT
for broadcast clock events. The _ENTER/_EXIT doesn't really open broadcast clock
events, please see processor_idle.c for an example. In some situation, this will
cause boot hang, because some CPUs enters idle but local APIC timer stalls.
