x86: Hyper-V: register clocksource only if its advertised Enable hyperv_clocksource only if its advertised as a feature. XenServer 6 returns the signature which is checked in ms_hyperv_platform(), but it does not offer all features. Currently the clocksource is enabled unconditionally in ms_hyperv_init_platform(), and the result is a hanging guest. Hyper-V spec Bit 1 indicates the availability of Partition Reference Counter. Register the clocksource only if this bit is set. The guest in question prints this in dmesg: [ 0.000000] Hypervisor detected: Microsoft HyperV [ 0.000000] HyperV: features 0x70, hints 0x0 This bug can be reproduced easily be setting 'viridian=1' in a HVM domU .cfg file. A workaround without this patch is to boot the HVM guest with 'clocksource=jiffies'.
