[PATCH] x86/tdx: Override the tsc calibration for TDX VMs

From: Vishal Annapurve
Date: Thu Oct 05 2023 - 21:13:10 EST


TSC calibration for native execution gets the TSC frequency from CPUID,
but also ends up setting lapic_timer_period. When using oneshot mode
with lapic timer, predefined value of lapic_timer_period causes lapic
timer calibration to be skipped with wrong multipliers set for lapic
timer.

To avoid this issue, override the TSC calibration step for TDX VMs to
just calculate the TSC frequency using cpuid values.
