Subject: [PATCH] x86/vmware: Read tsc_khz only once - at boot time
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 22:02:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161020050211.GA25304@amakhalov-virtual-machine> (raw)
Re-factor the vmware platform setup code to query the hypervisor for tsc
frequency only once during boot. Since the VMware hypervisor guarantees
constant TSC, calibrate_tsc now uses the saved value.
