From: Petr Tesarik Date: Mon, 25 May 2009 09:02:02 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86: move rdtsc_barrier() into the TSC vread method X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d96fd41cadc55f4e00231c8c71b8e25c779f122;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git x86: move rdtsc_barrier() into the TSC vread method The *fence instructions were moved to vsyscall_64.c by commit cb9e35dce94a1b9c59d46224e8a94377d673e204. But this breaks the vDSO, because vread methods are also called from there. Besides, the synchronization might be unnecessary for other time sources than TSC.
