  [PATCH v2 07/17] x86/cpu/amd: Use the full 64-bit TSC to detect the 2.6.2 bug Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> - 2015-06-13 01:50 +0200

#1164442 — [PATCH v2 07/17] x86/cpu/amd: Use the full 64-bit TSC to detect the 2.6.2 bug

This code is timing 100k indirect calls, so the added overhead of
counting the number of cycles elapsed as a 64-bit number should be
insignificant.  Drop the optimization of using a 32-bit count.
