From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 01:51:29 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86 ACPI: Add support for Always Running APIC timer X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db954b5898dd3ef3ef93f4144158ea8f97deb058;p=mv-sheeva.git x86 ACPI: Add support for Always Running APIC timer Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2. This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is in deep C-states. The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program" external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic and related code in C-state entry and exit.
