A Linux guest on Hyper-V gets the TSC frequency from a synthetic MSR, if available. In this case, set X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ so that Linux doesn't unnecessarily do refined TSC calibration when setting up the TSC clocksource. With this change, a message such as this is no longer output during boot when the TSC is used as the clocksource: [ 1.115141] tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 2918.408 MHz Furthermore, the guest and host will have exactly the same view of the TSC frequency, which is important for features such as the TSC deadline timer that are emulated by the Hyper-V host.

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.
