Linus,
Please pull the latest x86-timers-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-timers-for-linus
# HEAD: 6baf3d61821f5b38f27b4e9f044ad4d1e8f3d14f x86/tsc: Add additional Intel CPU models to the crystal quirk list
This tree includes a HPET overhead micro-optimization plus new TSC frequencies for
newer Intel CPUs.
Thanks,
Ingo

+ * Reading the HPET counter is a very slow operation. If a large number of
+ * CPUs are trying to access the HPET counter simultaneously, it can cause
+ * massive delay and slow down system performance dramatically. This may
+ * happen when HPET is the default clock source instead of TSC. For a
+ * really large system with hundreds of CPUs, the slowdown may be so
+ * severe that it may actually crash the system because of a NMI watchdog
+ * soft lockup, for example.
+ *
+ * If multiple CPUs are trying to access the HPET counter at the same time,
+ * we don't actually need to read the counter multiple times. Instead, the
+ * other CPUs can use the counter value read by the first CPU in the group.
+ *
+ * This special feature is only enabled on x86-64 systems. It is unlikely
+ * that 32-bit x86 systems will have enough CPUs to require this feature
+ * with its associated locking overhead. And we also need 64-bit atomic
+ * read.
+ *
+ * The lock and the hpet value are stored together and can be read in a
+ * single atomic 64-bit read. It is explicitly assumed that arch_spinlock_t
+ * is 32 bits in size.
