x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtscll() merge helper
Some in-flight code makes use of the old rdtscll() (now removed), provide a wrapper for a kernel cycle to smooth the transition to rdtsc(). ( We use the safest variant, rdtsc_ordered(), which has barriers - this adds another incentive to remove the wrapper in the future. ) Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Brian Gerst <[email protected]> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <[email protected]> Cc: H.
