Subject: x86: do not enable TSC notifier if we don't need it
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=060700b571717c997a2ea5e2049b848fa248ee13;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86: do not enable TSC notifier if we don't need it

Impact: crash on non-TSC-equipped CPUs

Don't enable the TSC notifier if we *either*:

1. don't have a CPU, or
2. have a CPU with constant TSC.

In either of those cases, the notifier is either damaging (1) or useless(2).
