cpu/x86/tsc: Flip and rename TSC_CONSTANT_RATE to UNKNOWN_TSC_RATE The x86 timers are a bit of a mess. Cases where different stages use different counters and timestamps use different counters from udelays. The original intention was to only flip TSC_CONSTANT_RATE Kconfig to NOT_CONSTANT_TSC_RATE. The name would be incorrect though, those counters do run with a constant rate but we just lack tsc_freq_mhz() implementation for three platforms. Note that for boards with UNKNOWN_TSC_RATE=y, each stage will have a slow run of calibrate_tsc_with_pit(). This is easy enough to fix with followup implementation of tsc_freq_mhz() for the platforms. Implementations with LAPIC_MONOTONIC_TIMER typically will not have tsc_freq_mhz() implemented and default to UNKNOWN_TSC_RATE. However, as they don't use TSC for udelay() the slow calibrate_tsc_with_pit() is avoided. Because x86/tsc_delay.tsc was using two different guards and nb/via/vx900 claimed UDELAY_TSC, but pulled UDELAY_IO implementation, we also switch that romstage to use UDELAY_TSC.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig and make nconfig)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
