I enabled high resolution timer support and disabled ACPI support.

There are other clock sources on my system.
The timestamp counter is reliable (as far as I can tell).

See previous mail.

The LAPIC timer is reliable.

LAPIC timer is a clock event device, not a clock source. It can be
used to program the next event, but not to read the time.

(I've just disabled the PM timer.)

Yup, which in turn disables highres.

OK. I have two more questions.

Can the kernel verify the correctness of the TSC with the PIT?

When I enable the ACPI PM timer, the kernel tells me:

* The chipset may have PM-Timer Bug. Due to workarounds for a bug,
* this clock source is slow. If you are sure your timer does not have
* this bug, please use "acpi_pm_good" to disable the workaround

How can I tell whether my PM timer has this bug or not?
(Specific revision? Test app?)

Regards.
