Hi!
This is wrong:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_TSC
static int __init tsc_setup(char *str)
{
printk(KERN_WARNING "notsc: Kernel compiled with
CONFIG_X86_TSC, "
"cannot disable TSC.\n");
return 1;
}
#else
/*
* disable flag for tsc. Takes effect by clearing the TSC cpu flag
* in cpu/common.c
*/
static int __init tsc_setup(char *str)
{
setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC);
return 1;
}
#endif
...even if kernel is compiled with X86_TSC, we do disable it in case
it is unstable:
#if defined (CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME) && defined (CONFIG_X86_TSC)
/* TSC halts in C2, so notify users */
if (tsc_halts_in_c(ACPI_STATE_C2))
mark_tsc_unstable("possible TSC halt in C2");
#endif
...so the commandline option should work, too.
