Subject: [PATCH] x86/ioapic: don't use unstable TSC to detect timer IRQ
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 16:42:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180320084255.GA187704@sofia> (raw)

In rare case, the TSC is every unstable or can't sync with
real time hardware clock. After setting "tsc=unstable" in
command line, system should use delay_without_tsc to detect
timer IRQ. Or system could panic as shown in below log:
