Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86, tsc: Fallback to normal calibration if fast MSR calibration fails
Date: Thu,  6 Feb 2014 13:49:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391687365-10922-1-git-send-email-mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140206054410.GB18884@gmail.com>

If we cannot calibrate TSC via MSR based calibration try_msr_calibrate_tsc()
stores zero to fast_calibrate and returns that to the caller. This value
gets then propagated further to clockevents code resulting division by zero
oops like the one below:

Prevent this from happening by falling back to normal TSC calibration if MSR
based one fails.

Changes to v2: split the patch into two as suggested by Ingo.
