From 09bfeea13cea843fb03eaa96b5d891fa0abdcc90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Herrmann Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:12:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.)
