Subject: [PATCH v5 5/8] x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 09:31:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <99c6d7f5efa3ccb65b4ac6eb443e1ab7bad47d7b.1306156808.git.luto@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1306156808.git.luto@mit.edu>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1306156808.git.luto@mit.edu>
vread_tsc is short and hot, and it's userspace code so the usual
reasons to enable -pg and turn off sibling calls don't apply.
(OK, turning off sibling calls has no effect. But it might
someday...)
As an added benefit, tsc.c is profilable now.
