Select this to enable Time-Stamp Counter (TSC) timer for x86.
+config X86_TSC_READ_BASE
+ bool "Read the TSC timer base on start-up"
+ depends on X86_TSC_TIMER
+ help
+ On x86 platforms the TSC timer tick starts at the value 0 on reset.
+ This it makes no sense to read the timer on boot and use that as the
+ base, since we will miss some time taken to load U-Boot, etc. This
+ delay is controlled by the SoC and we cannot reduce it, but for
+ bootstage we want to record the time since reset as accurately as
+ possible.
+
+ The only exception is when U-Boot is used as a secondary bootloader,
+ where this option should be enabled.

+config TPL_X86_TSC_TIMER_NATIVE
+ bool "x86 TSC timer uses native calibration"
+ depends on TPL && X86_TSC_TIMER
+ help
+ Selects native timer calibration for TPL and don't include the other
+ methods in the code. This helps to reduce code size in TPL and works
+ on fairly modern Intel chips. Code-size reductions is about 700
+ bytes.
