Marking TSC as unstable has a side effect of marking sched_clock as unstable when TSC is still being used as the sched_clock. This is not desirable. Hyper-V ultimately uses a paravirtualized clock source that provides a stable scheduler clock even on systems without TscInvariant CPU capability. Hence, mark_tsc_unstable() call should be called _after_ scheduler clock has been changed to the paravirtualized clocksource. This will prevent any unwanted manipulation of the sched_clock. Only TSC will be correctly marked as unstable.

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 Restructured Text 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.
