john stultz 5a90cf205c [PATCH] x86: Log reason why TSC was marked unstable
Change mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument, which holds the
reason the TSC was marked unstable.

This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called.

This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on certain
systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly paranoid when
throwing out this troublesome clocksource.

Joerg Roedel 6b37f5a20c [PATCH] x86-64: fix cpu MHz reporting on constant_tsc cpus
This patch fixes the reporting of cpu_mhz in /proc/cpuinfo on CPUs with
a constant TSC rate and a kernel with disabled cpufreq.

Ingo Molnar 95492e4646 [PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync code
make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and
i386.

The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.

The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.

The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.
