But use_tsc is still used:
static int
time_cpufreq_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long val,
void *data)
{
....
#ifndef CONFIG_SMP
if (use_tsc) {
fast_gettimeoffset_quotient = cpufreq_scale(fast_gettimeoffset_ref, freq->new, ref_freq);
cpu_khz = cpufreq_scale(cpu_khz_ref, ref_freq, freq->new);
}
#endif
And almost any patch to the x86 boot code is too convoluted to be
"trivial" IMHO.
Sorry,
Rusty.
