Subject: [PATCH] x86, UV: Fix RTC latency bug by reading replicated cachelines
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:41:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100119144137.GB22276@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100114183422.GA12152@sgi.com>

Fix an RTC read latency bug by using replicated cachelines to read the RTC
timer on SGI UV node controllers (HUB) rev 2.0 or greater.

Signed-off-by: Dimitri Sivanich <sivanich@sgi.com>

Patch requires "Add function retrieving node controller revision number" patch.
