    x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation · 3da757da
    Alok Kataria 提交于
    On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
    calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
    to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
    result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
    a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
    result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
    resulting in the guest panicking.
    
    Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
    printk to print the bogomips value.
    
    We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
    different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
    frequency.
