However, this code +(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in +arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was +set. + +OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target +for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional +platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, +because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: +https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 + +By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include +the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus +fixing the problem. + +Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> +Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> +Closes #20531 +--- + +--- a/arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c ++++ b/arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c +@@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ + #include <asm/hypervisor.h> + #include <asm/nmi.h> + #include <asm/x86_init.h> ++#include <asm/geode.h> + + unsigned int __read_mostly cpu_khz; /* TSC clocks / usec, not used here */ + EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpu_khz); +@@ -1004,15 +1005,17 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mark_tsc_unstable); + + static void __init check_system_tsc_reliable(void) + { +-#ifdef CONFIG_MGEODE_LX +- /* RTSC counts during suspend */ ++#if defined(CONFIG_MGEODEGX1) || defined(CONFIG_MGEODE_LX) || defined(CONFIG_X86_GENERIC) ++ if (is_geode_lx()) { ++ /* RTSC counts during suspend */ + #define RTSC_SUSP 0x100 +- unsigned long res_low, res_high; ++ unsigned long res_low, res_high; + +- rdmsr_safe(MSR_GEODE_BUSCONT_CONF0, &res_low, &res_high); +- /* Geode_LX - the OLPC CPU has a very reliable TSC */ +- if (res_low & RTSC_SUSP) +- tsc_clocksource_reliable = 1; ++ rdmsr_safe(MSR_GEODE_BUSCONT_CONF0, &res_low, &res_high); ++ /* Geode_LX - the OLPC CPU has a very reliable TSC */ ++ if (res_low & RTSC_SUSP) ++ tsc_clocksource_reliable = 1; ++ } + #endif + if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE)) + tsc_clocksource_reliable = 1; |
