changelog --------- v4 - v5 - Fix compiler warnings on systems with stable clocks. v3 - v4 - Fixed tsc_early_fini() call to be in the 2nd patch as reported by Dou Liyang - Improved comment before __use_sched_clock_early to explain why we need both booleans. - Simplified valid_clock logic in read_boot_clock64().
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
