Subject: x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtscll() merge helper
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99770737ca7e3ebc14e66460a69b7032de9421e1;p=linux-beck.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. )
