    x86: Make tsc=reliable override boot time stability checks · d3b8f889
    john stultz 提交于
    This patch makes the tsc=reliable option disable the boot time
    stability checks. Currently the option only disables the runtime
    watchdog checks. This change allows folks who want to override the
    boot time TSC stability checks and use the TSC when the system would
    otherwise disqualify it.
    
    There still are some situations that the TSC will be disqualified,
    such as cpufreq scaling. But these are situations where the box will
    hang if allowed.
    
    Patch also includes a fix for an issue found by Thomas Gleixner, where
    the TSC disqualification message wouldn't be printed after a call to
    unsynchronized_tsc().
