Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Make the TSC safe to be used by gettimeofday().
This is done by a per-cpu vxtime structure that stores the last TSC and HPET
values.
Whenever we switch to a userland process after a HLT instruction has been
executed or after the CPU frequency has changed, we force a new read of the
TSC, HPET and xtime so that we know the correct frequency we have to deal
with.
We also force a resynch once every second, on every CPU.
With this, we can safely use RDTSC in gettimeofday() in CPUs where the
TSCs are not synchronized, such as Opterons, instead of doing a very expensive
HPET read.
