From e888d7facd1f1460a638151036d15b6cfb3ccc74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:44:31 -0700 Subject: x86, delay: tsc based udelay should have rdtsc_barrier delay_tsc needs rdtsc_barrier to provide proper delay. Output from a test driver using hpet to cross check delay provided by udelay().
