    Subject[patch 28/50] x86: disable TSC for sched_clock() when calibration failed
    -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
    ---------------------

    From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

    upstream commit: 74dc51a3de06aa516e3b9fdc4017b2aeb38bf44b

    When the TSC calibration fails then TSC is still used in
    sched_clock(). Disable it completely in that case.
