Subject: [PATCH] x86: don't write_tsc() non-zero values on CPUs updating only the lower 32 bits
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 08:18:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DA6BBD1020000780003B865@vpn.id2.novell.com> (raw)

This means suppressing the uses in time_calibration_tsc_rendezvous(),
cstate_restore_tsc(), and synchronize_tsc_slave(), and fixes a boot
hang of Linux Dom0 when loading processor.ko on such systems that
have support for C states above C1.
