From: Andreas Herrmann Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:12:10 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86: c1e_idle: don't mark TSC unstable if CPU has invariant TSC X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc8~27^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=09bfeea13cea843fb03eaa96b5d891fa0abdcc90;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git x86: c1e_idle: don't mark TSC unstable if CPU has invariant TSC Impact: Functional TSC is marked unstable on AMD family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs. This would be wrong because for those CPUs "invariant TSC" means: "The TSC counts at the same rate in all P-states, all C states, S0, or S1" (See "Processor BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guides" for those CPUs.)
