From b077ffb3b767c3efb44d00b998385a9cb127255c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:48:11 -0800 Subject: rdmsr_on_cpu, wrmsr_on_cpu There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP. In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general. This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single(). Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu() and wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .
