SubjectRe: [1/3] Bugfix: Don't use the TSC in sched_clock if unstable

10 in a kernel compile exhibiting audio skips.

Anyway, the "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -263211549 ns)" line
in the dmesg I attached to the previous mail confirms IMHO that my
TSC is too unstable for scheduling purpose.

15 minutes after booting, including a kernel compile halted on the
first audio skip, I have this in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/trans_table

   From  :    To
         :   1995000   1596000   1330000   1064000    798000
  1995000:         0        67       101       128       367
  1596000:        20         0         3         3        41
  1330000:        21         0         0        10        73
  1064000:        30         0         0         0       111
   798000:       592         0         0         0         0
Nothing alarming I presume.

Thanks.
