From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 21:45:24 +0000 (+0100) Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: On Intel CPUs don't do an additional CPU sync before RDTSC X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~320 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c818a18146997d1356a4840b0c01f1168c16c8a4;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] x86_64: On Intel CPUs don't do an additional CPU sync before RDTSC RDTSC serialization using cpuid is not needed for Intel platforms. This increases gettimeofday performance.
