2.6.11内核CPU频率(khz)的计算

CPU频率的计算使用了两个函数init_cpu_khz()和calibrate_tsc()

 

 

----------------------------arch/i386/kernel/timers/Common.c--------------------

//tsc_quotient中保存通过calibrate_tsc()计算得出(CPU单个时钟周期的微秒数)*(2^32)的值，然后用1毫秒的微秒数即1000乘以2^32，再除以tsc_quotient，

//分子分母中的2^32抵消，最后的结果是1毫秒内的时钟周期数，即cpu频率的khz数

 

/* calculate cpu_khz */
void __init init_cpu_khz(void)
{
 if (cpu_has_tsc) {
  unsigned long tsc_quotient = calibrate_tsc();
  if (tsc_quotient) {
   /* report CPU clock rate in Hz.
    * The formula is (10^6 * 2^32) / (2^32 * 1 / (clocks/us)) =
    * clock/second. Our precision is about 100 ppm.
    */
   { unsigned long eax=0, edx=1000;
    __asm__("divl %2"
           :"=a" (cpu_khz), "=d" (edx)
                  :"r" (tsc_quotient),
                  "0" (eax), "1" (edx));
    printk("Detected %lu.%03lu MHz processor.\n", cpu_khz / 1000, cpu_khz % 1000);
   }
  }
 }
}
