* i386: work around miscompilation of alternatives codeJoerg Roedel2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent change makes my Dell 1501 hang on boot. It's an AMD MK-36. I use an x86_64 kernel. It is 100% reproducible. I debugged this problem a bit and my compiler[1]interprets the =A constraint as %rax instead of %edx:%eax on x86_64 which causes the problem. The appended patch provides a workaround for this and fixed the hang on my machine.

* [PATCH] x86: Use RDTSCP for synchronous get_cycles if possibleAndi Kleen2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | RDTSCP is already synchronous and doesn't need an explicit CPUID. This is a little faster and more importantly avoids VMEXITs on Hypervisors.

* [PATCH] x86: Log reason why TSC was marked unstablejohn stultz2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument, which holds the reason the TSC was marked unstable. This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called. This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on certain systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly paranoid when throwing out this troublesome clocksource.

* [PATCH] i386: make x86_64 tsc header require i386 rather than vice-versaAndres Salomon2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to commit 95492e4646e5de8b43d9a7908d6177fb737b61f0 ([PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really require anything in include/asm-x86_64. This means that distributions such as fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for i386. Ingo's commit changed that, and broke things. This is easy enough to hack around in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on i386, but that's kind of annoying. If anything, x86_64 should depend upon i386, not the other way around. This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h, rather than vice-versa.

* [PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync codeIngo Molnar2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

* [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Supportjohn stultz2006-06-26
As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math. This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.
