From 6c132b5fe6579ed4b4892c02fe6c05f7e3afc579 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: john stultz Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 21:45:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Fix bad assumption that dualcore cpus have synced TSCs This should resolve the issue seen in bugme bug #5105, where it is assumed that dualcore x86_64 systems have synced TSCs. This is not the case, and alternate timesources should be used instead. For more details, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105 Andi's earlier concerns that the TSCs should be synced on dualcore systems have been resolved by confirmation from AMD folks that they can be unsynced.
