From 685db65e422bfa523b8a9dacb5a658b42b254f05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2006 02:54:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] time_interpolator: Use readq_relaxed() instead of readq(). On some platforms readq performs additional work to make sure I/O is done in a coherent way. This is not needed for time retrieval as done by the time interpolator. So we can use readq_relaxed instead which will improve performance. It affects sparc64 and ia64 only. Apparently it makes a significant difference on ia64.
