[PATCH 3/3] arm64: Allow early time stamping

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Mon Jul 22 2019 - 06:34:20 EST


In order to provide early timestamping on arm64 systems, we provide
a timestamp_clock() function that is available as early as possible.
This function simply returns the current counter value scales in
nanoseconds, and 0-based.

In order to deal with the idiosyncrasies of some broken platforms,
we condition this on the frequency being set in the CNTFRQ_EL0
register, and revert back to using local_clock() as soon as it starts
returning non-zero values.
