[PATCH] x86-64: Avoid overflows during apic timer calibration
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- Use 64bit TSC calculations to avoid handling overflow
- Use 32bit unsigned arithmetic for the APIC timer. This
way overflows are handled correctly.
- Fix exit check of loop to account for apic timer counting down
