  To: glibc-bugs

the generic i386 header file ( sysdeps/i386/memusage.h ) defines the GETTIME()
macro as:
#define GETTIME(low,high) asm ("rdtsc" : "=a" (low), "=d" (high))

however the "rdtsc" instruction wasnt introduced until the i586

------- Additional Comments From drepper at redhat dot com  2005-12-23 15:29 -------
I only changed this because it's easy but nobody tests this for anything but
i686+ anymore.  I'm contemplating removing all support for these wastes of
energy which are the < i686 processors.
