Come on, this is a patently wrong conclusion.

We call timer_stats_update_stats() which returns on top of the
function due to:

if (likely(!timer_stats_active))
return;

timer_stats_active is 0 during boot and you can only activate it by
writing to /proc/timer_stats which you certainly did not at this
point.

Can you please explain how a call to a function which returns right
away can cause that problem ?

That patch unearthed some other bug and your revert is just papering
over that fact.

Thanks,

tglx
