3 * test module to check whether the TSC-based delay routine continues
4 * to work properly after cpufreq transitions. Needs ACPI to work
7 * Based partly on the Power Management Timer (PMTMR) code to be found
8 * in arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_pm.c on recent 2.6. kernels, especially
9 * code written by John Stultz. The read_pmtmr function was copied verbatim

15 * 1.) pass clock=tsc to the kernel on your bootloader
16 * 2.) modprobe this module (it'll fail)
17 * 3.) change CPU frequency
18 * 4.) modprobe this module again
19 * 5.) if the third value, "diff_pmtmr", changes between 2. and 4., the
20 * TSC-based delay routine on the Linux kernel does not correctly
21 * handle the cpufreq transition. Please report this to
