One thing that's quite a bit confusing in v3 is the mess of cpu.c and cpu.h.
include/arch/x86/cpu.h defines lots of functions which should be in a .c
file instead. They are:
struct cpuid_result cpuid(u32 op);
u32 cpuid_eax(u32 op);
u32 cpuid_ebx(u32 op);
u32 cpuid_ecx(u32 op);
u32 cpuid_edx(u32 op);
void get_fms(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, u32 tfms);
unsigned long read_cr0(void);
void write_cr0(unsigned long cr0);
void invd(void);
void wbinvd(void);
void enable_cache(void);
void disable_cache(void);
void cpu_relax(void);
void hlt(void);
arch/x86/geodelx/cpu.c is completely unused, but the contents look
important. Why don't we call them?
northbridge/amd/k8/cpu.c is used.
Can someone please illustrate the underlying architecture?
(Background: I'm trying to add timestamping to printk, but I'm totally
at a loss where I should place get_timestamp().)
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
