john stultz 74a03b69d1 clockevents: prevent endless loop in tick_handle_periodic() ... tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource. Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available. Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops forever.
