[Bug runtime/15789] ERROR: couldn't initialize gettimeofday


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15789

--- Comment #1 from Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors at iki dot fi> ---
The issue occurs also with systemtap 2.2.1 so it is not a systemtap regression.
Downgrading kernel from 3.10-1-amd64 to 3.8-2-amd64 seems to let me use
systemtap again.

Looking at "git log v3.8..v3.10 -- drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c" my guess is that
this is caused by

    cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function.

    When disable_cpufreq() is called some exported functions are still
    being used that do not have a check for cpufreq being disabled.

    Add a disabled check into cpufreq_cpu_get() to return NULL if
    cpufreq is disabled this covers most of the exported functions. For
    the exported functions that do not call cpufreq_cpu_get() add an
    explicit check.
