Subject: [v3 0/2] Early boot time stamps for x86

Resending, fixed the subject.

changelog
---------
v2 - v3
	- Addressed comment from Thomas Gleixner
	- Timestamps are available a little later in boot but still much
	  earlier than in mainline. This significantly simplified this
	  work.
v1 - v2
	In patch "x86/tsc: tsc early":
	- added tsc_adjusted_early()
	- fixed 32-bit compile error use do_div()

Adding early boot time stamps support for x86 machines.
SPARC patches for early boot time stamps are already integrated into
mainline linux.

Sample output
-------------
Before:
https://hastebin.com/jadaqukubu.scala

After:
https://hastebin.com/nubipozacu.scala

As seen above, currently timestamps are available from around the time when
"Security Framework" is initialized. But, 26s already passed until we
reached to this point.

Pavel Tatashin (2):
  sched/clock: interface to allow timestamps early in boot
  x86/tsc: use tsc early
