[U-Boot] [PATCH v9 6/9] x86: slimbootloader: Set TSC information for tsc_timer

Park, Aiden aiden.park at intel.com
Sat Aug 3 08:30:52 UTC 2019


Slim Bootloader already calibrated TSC and provides it to U-Boot.
Therefore, U-Boot does not have to re-calibrate TSC.
Configuring tsc_base and clock_rate makes x86 tsc_timer driver bypass
TSC calibration and use the provided TSC frequency.
- Get TSC frequency from performance info hob
- Set tsc_base and clock_rate for tsc_timer driver

Changes in v6:
  * Use EFI_GUID
  * Add more comments while setting tsc_base and clock_rate
  * Apply code-review comments

Changes in v3:
  * Use HOB function from the common HOB library
