X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~1196^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99770737ca7e3ebc14e66460a69b7032de9421e1;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

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. )
