Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/tsc: split X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE into two
Date: Tue,  1 Nov 2016 10:14:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478020482-231459-1-git-send-email-bin.gao@intel.com> (raw)

This patch series split X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE into two separate
flags: X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE and X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ.
This change allows us to redefine TSC features at fine granularity.
This is driven by certain Intel processors/SoCs with frequency-known
TSC so the whole calibration stuff should be skipped.

Bin Gao (2):
  x86/tsc: add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag
  x86: use KNOWN_FREQ and RELIABLE TSC flags on certain processors/SoCs
