cpu/intel/haswell: Allow use of TSC for the monotonic timer When the Haswell-specific monotonic timer is used on an ASRock H81M-HDS with a Pentium G3258, the following exception is generated, causing the system to hang. CPU Index 0 - APIC 0 Unexpected Exception:13 @ 10:7f7a3736 - Halting Code: 0 eflags: 00010006 cr2: 00000000 eax: 00262626 ebx: 00140000 ecx: 00000603 edx: 00360000 edi: 00000007 esi: 00262626 ebp: 7f7c0fd8 esp: 7f7c0e90 The exception occurs when trying to read `MSR_COUNTER_24_MHz`, located at 0x637. This MSR only exists on Haswell-ULT CPUs. So, allow boards to use the TSC monotonic timer instead. They can do this by placing `select TSC_MONOTONIC_TIMER` in the mainboard Kconfig.

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.
