From c157d351460bcf202970e97e611cb6b54a3dd4a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 23:37:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] intel_idle: Handle older CPUs, which stop the TSC in deeper C states, correctly
The Intel idle driver is preferred over the ACPI processor idle driver, but fails to implement the work around for Core2 generation CPUs, where the TSC stops in C2 and deeper C-states. This causes stalls and boot delays, when the clocksource watchdog does not catch the unstable TSC before the CPU goes deep idle for the first time.
The ACPI driver marks the TSC unstable when it detects that the CPU supports C2 or deeper and the CPU does not have a non-stop TSC.
Add the equivivalent work around to the Intel idle driver to cure that.
