From 9e7827b5ea4ca93b4d864bc07c0fafb838d496b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:28:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, hyperv: Get the local APIC timer frequency from the hypervisor Hyper-V supports a mechanism for retrieving the local APIC frequency. Use this and bypass the calibration code in the kernel . This would allow us to boot the Linux kernel as a "modern VM" on Hyper-V where many of the legacy devices (such as PIT) are not emulated. I would like to thank Olaf Hering , Jan Beulich and H. Peter Anvin for their help in this effort. In this version of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
