* test module to check whether the TSC-based delay routine continues
3
* to work properly after cpufreq transitions. Needs ACPI to work
6
* Based partly on the Power Management Timer (PMTMR) code to be found
7
* in arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_pm.c on recent 2.6. kernels, especially
8
* code written by John Stultz. The read_pmtmr function was copied verbatim
11
* (C) 2004 Dominik Brodowski
14
* 1.) pass clock=tsc to the kernel on your bootloader
15
* 2.) modprobe this module (it'll fail)
16
* 3.) change CPU frequency
17
* 4.) modprobe this module again
18
* 5.) if the third value, "diff_pmtmr", changes between 2. and 4., the
19
* TSC-based delay routine on the Linux kernel does not correctly
20
* handle the cpufreq transition. Please report this to
21
* cpufreq@vger.kernel.org
