x86: disable preemption in delay_tsc()
Marin Mitov points out that delay_tsc() can misbehave if it is preempted and rescheduled on a different CPU which has a skewed TSC. Fix it by disabling preemption. (I assume that the worst-case behaviour here is a stall of 2^32 cycles) Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
