The APIC timer calibration (calibrate_APIC_timer()) can be skipped in cases where we know the APIC timer frequency. On Intel SoCs, we believe that the APIC is fed by the crystal clock; this would make sense, and the crystal clock frequency has been verified against the APIC timer calibration result on ApolloLake, GeminiLake, Kabylake, CoffeeLake, WhiskeyLake and AmberLake. Set lapic_timer_period based on the crystal clock frequency accordingly. APIC timer calibration would normally be skipped on modern CPUs by nature of the TSC deadline timer being used instead, however this change is still potentially useful, e.g. if the TSC deadline timer has been disabled with a kernel parameter. calibrate_APIC_timer() uses the legacy timer, but we are seeing new platforms that omit such legacy functionality, so avoiding such codepaths is becoming more important.

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.
