[PATCH v2 6/7] cpu_x86: Probe TSC frequency and scaling support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the host CPU supports invariant TSC the host CPU definition created
by virCPUx86GetHost will contain (unless probing fails for some reason)
addition TSC related data.
