From: Keir Fraser Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:04:02 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: Add clocksource=tsc option. X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~14188^2~21 X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=032a69e5b7d9e23fbd2b1c1f9b2fd60118b6a5cb;p=xen.git x86: Add clocksource=tsc option. This option should only be used on machines where TSC is known to be synchronized across all processors. A future TODO is to dynamically determine if this is the case.
