From a0bf284bfedd6dc95bbee7ebf5ccf3b5f753a008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Brown Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 01:29:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Idle C-states disabled by max_cstate should not disable the TSC Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines. Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable: Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1", then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.
