+Subject: x86, vmware: Preset lpj values when on VMware.
+
+From: Alok Kataria <akataria@vmware.com>
+
+commit 9f242dc10e0c3c1eb32d8c83c18650a35fd7f80d upstream.
+
+When running on VMware's platform, we have seen situations where
+the AP's try to calibrate the lpj values and fail to get good calibration
+runs becasue of timing issues. As a result delays don't work correctly
+on all cpus.
+
+The solutions is to set preset_lpj value based on the current tsc frequency
+value. This is similar to what KVM does as well.
