MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value specified in SW P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same as TSC. The timer provides an upper bound on how long the instruction waits before exiting. This way, a delay function in the kernel can leverage that MWAITX timer of MWAITX. When a CPU core executes MWAITX, it will be quiesced in a waiting phase, diminishing its power consumption. This way, we can save power in comparison to our default TSC-based delays. A simple test shows that: $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc $ sleep 10000s $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc Results: * TSC-based default delay: 485115 uWatts average power * MWAITX-based delay: 252738 uWatts average power Thus, that's about 240 milliWatts less power consumption. The test method relies on the support of AMD CPU accumulated power algorithm in fam15h_power for which patches are forthcoming.

This patch moves the in-tree architectures that were using the 'generic' delay.h over to using the header file in asm-generic. This is not done using the generic-y mechanism as none of these arch's have started using that mechanism yet. This is a trivial change to make later when the arch begins using generic-y. Note the subtle change to the avr32 and SH architectures where the argument to __const_udelay was previously using the rounded down constant value instead of the rounded up value.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

The declaration and implementation of __const_udelay use different names for the parameter on a number of architectures: include/asm-avr32/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/avr32/lib/delay.c:39:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-sh/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/sh/lib/delay.c:22:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-m32r/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/m32r/lib/delay.c:58:void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) include/asm-x86/delay.h:16:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs); arch/x86/lib/delay_32.c:82:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) arch/x86/lib/delay_64.c:46:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops) The units of the parameter isn't usecs, so that name is definitely wrong. It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK name. This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops.
