[PATCH v6 0/4] Early boot time stamps for x86

Show all headers | View raw

changelog
---------
v5 - v6
	- Added a new patch:
		time: sync read_boot_clock64() with persistent clock
	  Which fixes missing __init macro, and enabled time discrepancy
	  fix that was noted by Thomas Gleixner
	- Split "x86/time: read_boot_clock64() implementation" into a
	  separate patch
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.

For more exaples how early time stamps are used, see this work:

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.
