Indeed but its prototype is already defined in asm/timer.h
This is a missing include, can you tell me if the patch below fixes
your problem?

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix missing include asm/timer.h in p4-clockmod.c

Impact: fix build error

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.c lacks the prototype
of recalibrate_cpu_khz(), we need to include asm/timer.h
