+/*
+ * arch/x86_64/kernel/tsc_sync.c: check TSC synchronization.
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2006, Red Hat, Inc., Ingo Molnar
+ *
+ * We check whether all boot CPUs have their TSC's synchronized,
+ * print a warning if not and turn off the TSC clock-source.
+ *
+ * The warp-check is point-to-point between two CPUs, the CPU
+ * initiating the bootup is the 'source CPU', the freshly booting
+ * CPU is the 'target CPU'.
+ *
+ * Only two CPUs may participate - they can enter in any order.
+ * ( The serial nature of the boot logic and the CPU hotplug lock
+ * protects against more than 2 CPUs entering this code. )
