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

 



Commit 8309f86cd41e ("x86/tsc: Provide 'tsc=unstable' boot parameter") adds
a new parameter 'tsc=unstable', but doesn't add some description to guide
users.

Append the description of 'tsc=unstable' at the end of 'tsc=' section.
