[PATCH] hrtimers: Remove the "timer_stats_active" check when setting the start info

From: Feng Tang
Date: Thu Sep 03 2009 - 03:51:10 EST


Recent hrtimer code will set the start info to a hrtimer only when that
flag is set, then the start info of all hrtimers will always be uninitialised
before a "echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats", thus the /proc/timer_lists will have
something like:

active timers:
#0: <c27d46b0>, tick_sched_timer, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
# expires at 91062000000-91062000000 nsecs [in 156071 to 156071 nsecs]
#1: <efb81b6c>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
# expires at 91062300331-91062350331 nsecs [in 456402 to 506402 nsecs]
#2: <efac9b6c>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
# expires at 91068699811-91068749811 nsecs [in 6855882 to 6905882 nsecs]
#3: <efacdb6c>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
# expires at 91068755511-91068805511 nsecs [in 6911582 to 6961582 nsecs]
#4: <efa95b6c>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
# expires at 91068806066-91068856066 nsecs [in 6962137 to 7012137 nsecs]
.....

This patch will fix it.
