Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

x86, apbt: Moorestown APB system timer driver 2010-02-24T19:01:21+00:00 Jacob Pan jacob.jun.pan@intel.com 2009-09-02T14:37:17+00:00 bb24c4716185f6e116c440462c65c1f56649183b Moorestown platform does not have PIT or HPET platform timers. Instead it has a bank of eight APB timers. The number of available timers to the os is exposed via SFI mtmr tables. All APB timer interrupts are routed via ioapic rtes and delivered as MSI.
