From e82b8e4ea4f3dffe6e7939f90e78da675fcc450e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2010 17:03:20 -0700 Subject: x86: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING This patch adds IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING option on x86 and runtime enables it when TSC is enabled. This change just enables fine grained irq time accounting, isn't used yet. Following patches use it for different purposes.
