From 28a00184be261e3dc152ba0d664a067bbe235b6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 15:42:17 -0700 Subject: x86, tsc: Skip TSC synchronization checks for tsc=reliable tsc=reliable boot parameter is supposed to skip all the TSC stablility checks during boot time. On a 8-socket system where we want to run an experiment with the "tsc=reliable" boot option, TSC synchronization checks are not getting skipped and marking the TSC as not stable. Check for tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is set via tsc=reliable or for platforms supporting synthetic TSC_RELIABLE feature bit etc) and when set, skip the TSC synchronization tests during boot.
