What precision can you get from this clock source ? How many cycles are
required to read it ? Would it be useful to fall back on the CPU TSC
when they are synchronized ? Does acpi_pm_read_verified read the
timestamp atomically ? Is is a reason why you need to disable
interrupts, and therefore cannot trace NMI handlers ?

Can you explain the notrace here ?

Due to interrupt disabling in your tracing code I suppose.

Do you really use locks in your tracing code ? I thought you were using
per cpu buffers.
