[v3 0/2] *** SUBJECT HERE ***

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Thu Aug 10 2017 - 19:48:45 EST


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:

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.
