H A Dtsc_sync.cb1c2d09a Fri Apr 19 03:51:46 CDT 2024 Daniel J Blueman <daniel@quora.org> x86/tsc: Trust initial offset in architectural TSC-adjust MSRs

commit 455f9075f14484f358b3c1d6845b4a438de198a7 upstream.

When the BIOS configures the architectural TSC-adjust MSRs on secondary
sockets to correct a constant inter-chassis offset, after Linux brings the
cores online, the TSC sync check later resets the core-local MSR to 0,
triggering HPET fallback and leading to performance loss.

Fix this by unconditionally using the initial adjust values read from the
MSRs. Trusting the initial offsets in this architectural mechanism is a
better approach than special-casing workarounds for specific platforms.
