2006-01-11	[PATCH] x86_64: Use standard __always_inline in vsyscall.c	Andi Kleen
	Replacing the old home brewn __force_inline. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-11	[PATCH] x86_64: On Intel CPUs don't do an additional CPU sync before RDTSC	Andi Kleen
	RDTSC serialization using cpuid is not needed for Intel platforms. This increases gettimeofday performance. Cc: vojtech@suse.cz Cc: rohit.seth@intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-17	[PATCH] x86_64: Add pmtimer support	Andi Kleen
	There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs. The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work there. Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice because it has some disadvantages. Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be disabled.

	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
