[PATCH 1/5] x86/kernel: Add option that TSC on Socket 0 being non-zero is valid

From: mike.travis
Date: Mon Oct 02 2017 - 11:13:37 EST


Add a flag to indicate and process that TSC counters are on chassis
that reset at different times during system startup. Therefore which
TSC ADJUST values should be zero is not predictable.
