There is no particular reason to not enable TSC page clocksource on 32-bit. mul_u64_u64_shr() is available and despite the increased computational complexity (compared to 64bit) TSC page is still a huge win compared to MSR-based clocksource. In-kernel reads: MSR based clocksource: 3361 cycles TSC page clocksource: 49 cycles Reads from userspace (utilizing vDSO in case of TSC page): MSR based clocksource: 5664 cycles TSC page clocksource: 131 cycles Enabling TSC page on 32bits allows to get rid of CONFIG_HYPERV_TSCPAGE as it is now not any different from CONFIG_HYPERV_TIMER.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
