Subject: [PATCH] eal/x86: fix TSC frequency query
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:10:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130171026.277418-1-thomas@monjalon.net> (raw)

After getting TSC information from cpuid instruction,
some values must be multiplied and divided.
We must multiply first to get the most accurate value.

Example:
	before: 1000000000 * (23 / 10) = 2 GHz
	after:  1000000000 * 23 / 10 = 2.3 GHz

Bugzilla ID: 1869
Fixes: ad3516bb4ae1 ("eal/x86: implement arch-specific TSC freq query")
