Subject: [PATCH] [1/3] Provide rdtscll() asm/msr.h for user space
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 13:43:12 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081007143.793379346@firstfloor.org> (raw)
For simple user space timing it's very useful to be able to do
#include <asm/msr.h> instead of having to cut'n'paste the necessarily
macros into all programs. This used to work with older kernels,
but broke with the paravirt support (I ended up with a bunch of
test programs that broke because of that). But it's very useful
to have rdtscll() available somewhere in user space and asm/msr.h
is a good place to have them.
Provide simple rdtsc/rdtscl() macros for user space too in asm/msr.h.
Since they are very simple I don't think they are a burden to maintain.
The diff looks bigger than it is because I moved a code block
and diff doesn't handle it very well.
