After aa297292d708, there are separate native calibrations for cpu_khz and
tsc_khz. The code sets x86_platform.calibrate_cpu to native_calibrate_cpu()
which looks in cpuid leaf 0x16 or msrs for the cpu frequency. Since we keep
the tsc_khz constant (even after vmotion), the cpu_khz and tsc_khz may
start diverging.
tsc_init() now does
cpu_khz = x86_platform.calibrate_cpu();
tsc_khz = x86_platform.calibrate_tsc();
if (tsc_khz == 0)
tsc_khz = cpu_khz;
else if (abs(cpu_khz - tsc_khz) * 10 > tsc_khz)
cpu_khz = tsc_khz;
We want the cpu_khz and tsc_khz to be sync even if they diverge less then
10%.
This patch resolves this issue by setting x86_platform.calibrate_cpu to
vmware_get_tsc_khz().
