If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@...radead.org> commit 03da3ff1cfcd7774c8780d2547ba0d995f7dc03d upstream. In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable") bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was set. OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus fixing the problem.
