Subject: [PATCH] PcAtChipsetPkg AcpiTimerLib: Get more accurate TSC Frequency
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 10:37:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470883079-4472-1-git-send-email-star.zeng@intel.com> (raw)

Minimize the code overhead between the two TSC reads by adding
new internal API to calculate TSC Frequency instead of reusing
MicroSecondDelay ().
