[PATCH 3.14 15/79] x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86 build

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

 



3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 03da3ff1cfcd7774c8780d2547ba0d995f7dc03d upstream.

In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
set.

OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531

By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
fixing the problem.
