[PATCH] clocksource: Print clocksource name when clocksource is tested unstable

From: Yunying Sun
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 03:07:20 EST


Some "TSC fall back to HPET" cases are seen on systems that have more
than 2 numa nodes. When this happens, in kernel log it has:

clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU168: hpet read-back delay of 4296200ns, attempt 4, marking unstable

The "hpet" here is misleading since it prints only the name of watchdog,
where actually it's measuring the delay of 3 reads: wd-clocksource-wd.
