From 95492e4646e5de8b43d9a7908d6177fb737b61f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:27:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync code 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.
