Well, it failed like that for me both before and after my PPC changes. I'm fairly sure I didn't mess this up. Maybe there's some kernel-headers package that's necessary. OTOH, I think one could replace the include by _#define rdtscll(val) _ asm volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (val)) if my limited googling is anything to go by. It also seems asm/msr.h is a "kernel internal header with absolutely no stable API properties...." (Redhat bugzilla). I'ld still like to understand why it fails for your system (it works fine on mine). Do you have a definition for rdtscll in /usr/include/asm/msr.h?

I don't have asm/msr.h! And the impression I get is that we shouldn't be going near it with the proverbial bargepole.

Cheers, mwh
