Subject[PATCH v3 0/3] Early boot time stamps for arm64
Date
Changelog:
v2 - v3
Addressed comments from Will Deacon: split into three
patches, removed hardcoded assumption from vdso, don't
assign arch_timer_read_counter during early boot.
v1 - v2
Addressed comments from Marc Zyngier

I made early boot time stamps available for SPARC and X86.

x86:

sparc:

As discussed at plumbers, I would like to add the same for arm64. The
implementation does not have to be perfect, and should work only when early
clock is easy to determine. arm64 defines a clock register, and thus makes
it easy, but on some platforms frequency register is broken, so if it is
not known, simply don't initialize clock early.

dmesg before:

dmesg after:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RHKGVd9nSM

As seen from the above with base smp_init is finished after 0.47s:
[ 0.464585] SMP: Total of 8 processors activated.

But, in reality, 3.2s is missing which is a quiet long considering this is
only 60G domain.
