From 74dc51a3de06aa516e3b9fdc4017b2aeb38bf44b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 22:17:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: disable TSC for sched_clock() when calibration failed When the TSC calibration fails then TSC is still used in sched_clock(). Disable it completely in that case.
