From 99770737ca7e3ebc14e66460a69b7032de9421e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 08:33:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtscll() merge helper Some in-flight code makes use of the old rdtscll() (now removed), provide a wrapper for a kernel cycle to smooth the transition to rdtsc(). ( We use the safest variant, rdtsc_ordered(), which has barriers - this adds another incentive to remove the wrapper in the future. ) Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
