Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] x86: Add cpu capability flag X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC_S3
Date: Wed,  6 Mar 2013 15:17:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362554271-22382-2-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362554271-22382-1-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com>

On some new Intel Atom processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is
a feature that the TSC won't stop in S3 state, say the TSC value
won't be reset to 0 after resume. This feature makes TSC a more reliable
clocksource and could benefit the timekeeping code during system
suspend/resume cycle, so add a flag for it.
