How does Linux measure CPU frequency?

[Jack Harvard]

Hi,

I want to find out how Linux calibrates the frequency of CPUs, and
want to compare with the way how lmbench measures processor frequency.
I had a thorough google search of this topic but didn't get too much
useful results.

Thanks a lot,
Jack
