| |
3.2.58-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
commit ca3ba2a2f4a49a308e7d78c784d51b2332064f15 upstream.
This patch bypass the timer_irq_works() check for hyperv guest since:
- It was guaranteed to work. - timer_irq_works() may fail sometime due to the lpj calibration were inaccurate in a hyperv guest or a buggy host.
In the future, we should get the tsc frequency from hypervisor and use preset lpj instead.
[ hpa: I would prefer to not defer things to "the future" in the future... ]
