[PATCH 0/2] x86/delay: Introduce TPAUSE instruction
From: Kyung Min Park
Date: Wed Feb 26 2020 - 14:11:42 EST
Intel processors that support the WAITPKG feature implement
the TPAUSE instruction that suspends execution in a lower power
state until the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) exceeds a certain value.
Update the udelay() function to use TPAUSE on systems where it
is available. Note that we hard code the deeper (C0.2) sleep
state because exit latency is small compared to the "microseconds"
that usleep() will delay.

x86/asm: Define a few helpers in delay_waitx()
x86/asm/delay: Introduce TPAUSE delay
