Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 17/21] x86/tsc: Switch to perf-based hardlockup detector if TSC become unstable
Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 18:16:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1558660583-28561-18-git-send-email-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1558660583-28561-1-git-send-email-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>

The HPET-based hardlockup detector relies on the TSC to determine if an
observed NMI interrupt was originated by HPET timer. Hence, this detector
can no longer be used with an unstable TSC.

In such case, permanently stop the HPET-based hardlockup detector and
start the perf-based detector.
