[PATCH 12/19] x86/asm: Remove rdtscl()

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Thu Jun 25 2015 - 12:48:57 EST


From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

It has no more callers, and it was never a very sensible interface
to begin with. Users of the TSC should either read all 64 bits or
explicitly throw out the high bits.
