    [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Support · 539eb11e
    john stultz 提交于
    As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
    introduces a new tsc.c file.  The code in this file replaces the TSC
    initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
    will be removed) that we want to preserve.
    
    The code also introduces the following functionality:
    
    o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
      change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency
    
    o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
      usability
    
    o minor cleanups to calibration math.
    
    This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.
