Notes:
     v4:
     - moved rdtsc to arch/x86/include/arch/lib.h
     - added a rdtsc_ordered implementation to serialize rdtsc
     - simplified since_boot_time function
     - still need to have Andrew's scale_delta version

I would likely just add a single function like:

static inline uint64_t rdtsc_ordered(void)
{
     uint32_t lo, hi;

     asm volatile("lfence; mfence; rdtsc" : "=a" (lo), "=d" (hi));

     return ((uint64_t)hi << 32) | lo;
}

Because there's no external caller of rdtsc, but I will leave that to
Andrew to decide. In any case this should work fine.


I think you're right for this one. What do you think about it @Andrew ?

Not sure whether you need to add a ': "d"' clobber here, since the d
register is used but it's not in the list of output operands.

Actually, I'm not sure that I have to make that much changes to this function, as @Andrew wanted to use another version of it as far as I recall.

+        tsc = rdtsc_ordered();

I don't think you need the barrier here if you use rdtsc_ordered, but
I would like confirmation from someone else.

+
+        ver2 = ACCESS_ONCE(shared_info.vcpu_info[0].time.version);
+    } while ( ver2 & 1 || ver1 != ver2 );
+

since_boot_time looks like a weird name, I would probably name this
hypervisor_uptime or system_time, but I'm not specially thrilled
anyway.

Sure. since_boot_time was really awful..

Thanks,
