Subject: [PATCH] x86: Export tsc related information in sysfs
Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 18:40:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273887635-27610-1-git-send-email-venki@google.com> (raw)
From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com>
Kernel information about calibrated value of tsc_khz and
tsc_stability (result of tsc warp test) are useful bits of information
for any app that wants to use TSC directly. Export this read_only
information in sysfs.
