mce_gather_info->mce_setup does m->tsc = rdtsc(); And we do that *everytime* but then we go and clear the damn thing. I know, I know, I wanted to flip that logic too and read the TSC *only* when we want a precise timestamp but that would require more changes as mce_setup() is used at a bunch of places. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
