CONFIG_APIC_TIMER_TSC

Use invariant TSC for z_timer_cycle_get_32()

Type: bool

Help

If your CPU supports invariant TSC, and you know the ratio of the TSC frequency to CONFIG_SYS_CLOCK_HW_CYCLES_PER_SEC (the local APIC timer frequency), then enable this for a much faster and more accurate z_timer_cycle_get_32().
