Re: [PATCH] x86_64: sync_tsc fix the race (so we can boot)

[yhlu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>]

if using you patch, the
"synchronized TSC with CPU" never come out.

then with your patch, I add back patch that moving set callin_map from
smp_callin to start_secondary. It told me can not inquire the apic for
the CPU 1....2....
