2 # Base Timer Library which uses the Time Stamp Counter in the processor.
4 # Note: There will be 1ms penalty to get TSC frequency every time
5 # by waiting for 3579 clocks of the ACPI timer, or 1ms.
7 # A version of the Timer Library using the processor's TSC.
8 # The time stamp counter in newer processors may support an enhancement, referred to as invariant TSC.
9 # The invariant TSC runs at a constant rate in all ACPI P-, C-. and T-states.
10 # This is the architectural behavior moving forward.
11 # TSC reads are much more efficient and do not incur the overhead associated with a ring transition or
12 # access to a platform resource.
