Subject: Re: clocksource tsc unstable
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 22:54:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ec870ced0707091354y770e5a26y4493e2c935cb088e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

As far as i know Pentium M processors have dynamically changed clock
speed (ofc to save power). That's why kernel notice that TSC is
unstable (it is indeed). On my Athlon 64 I have similar situation,
because CPU frequency is dynamically changed.
I don't think that there is an easy way to fix it (it is not even a
bug), time-stamp counter is not perfect...

Pawel
