Subject: [PATCH] x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on recent UV
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:10:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aIqKYdvlKlBlSoQK@hpe.com> (raw)
Disable clocksource watchdog checking on recent and future UV platforms
to avoid false positives.
Commits 'b50db7095fe0 ("x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on
qualified platforms")' and '233756a640be ("Extend watchdog check exemption
to 4-Sockets platform")' were introduced to avoid an issue where the TSC
is falsely declared unstable by exempting qualified platforms of up to
4-sockets from TSC clocksource watchdog checking. Extend that exemption
to include recent and future UV platforms.
