Subject: [PATCH 14/19] x86: Add rdtsc_ordered() and use it in trivial call sites
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 18:44:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435250653-30182-15-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1435250653-30182-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
rdtsc_barrier(); rdtsc() is an unnecessary mouthful and requires more
thought than should be necessary. Add an rdtsc_ordered() helper and
replace the trivial call sites with it.
This should not change generated code. The duplication of the fence asm
is temporary.
