Hi,

Sorry for top posting, but this is a long and almost unreadable thread ...

So it seems to me that a better fix would be to change the freq_desc_byt struct from:

static const struct freq_desc freq_desc_byt = {
          1, { 83300, 100000, 133300, 116700, 80000, 0, 0, 0 }
};

to:

static const struct freq_desc freq_desc_byt = {
          1, { 83333, 100000, 133300, 116700, 80000, 0, 0, 0 }
};

That should give us the right TSC frequency without needing to mess with
the TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE flags.

Where does that number come from? Just math?

Yes just math, but perhaps the Intel folks can see if they can find some
datasheet to back this up ?

I mean if the calculated freq is off by that much, then chances are that
my solution actuallly is not only "just math" but also correct :)

Regards,

Hans
