Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?
