Paul E. McKenney e7ff4ebffe x86/tsc: Check for sockets instead of CPUs to make code match comment 
The unsynchronized_tsc() eventually checks num_possible_cpus(), and if the
system is non-Intel and the number of possible CPUs is greater than one,
assumes that TSCs are unsynchronized.  This despite the comment saying
"assume multi socket systems are not synchronized", that is, socket rather
than CPU.  This behavior was preserved by commit 8fbbc4b45c ("x86: merge
tsc_init and clocksource code") and by the previous relevant commit
7e69f2b1ea ("clocksource: Remove the update callback").

The clocksource drivers were added by commit 5d0cf410e9 ("Time: i386
Clocksource Drivers") back in 2006, and the comment still said "socket"
rather than "CPU".

Therefore, bravely (and perhaps foolishly) make the code match the
comment.

Note that it is possible to bypass both code and comment by booting
with tsc=reliable, but this also disables the clocksource watchdog,
which is undesirable when trust in the TSC is strictly limited.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
