Move it into an own file for easy sharing.
Do everything per CPU. This avoids problems with TSCs that
tick at different frequencies per CPU.
Resync properly on cpufreq changes. CPU frequency is instable
around cpu frequency changing, so fall back during a backing
clock during this period.
Hopefully TSC will work now on all systems except when there isn't a
physical TSC.
And
+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[email protected]>
Three cleanups there:
- change "instable" -> "unstable"
- it's better to use get_cpu_var for getting this cpu's variables
- change cycles_2_ns to do the full computation rather than just the
tsc->ns scaling. It's a simpler interface, and it makes the function
TBD: during cpufreq changes on AMD sched_clock jumps backwards. Need to
TBD: fix that before pushing it further
