[linux-yocto] [PATCH 6/6] x86/tsc: Always Running Timer (ART) correlated clocksource

From: "Christopher S. Hall" <christopher.s.hall at intel.com>

On modern Intel systems TSC is derived from the new Always Running Timer
(ART). ART can be captured simultaneous to the capture of
audio and network device clocks, allowing a correlation between timebases
to be constructed. Upon capture, the driver converts the captured ART
value to the appropriate system clock using the correlated clocksource
mechanism.

On systems that support ART a new CPUID leaf (0x15) returns parameters
“m” and “n” such that:

TSC_value = (ART_value * m) / n + k [n >= 1]

[k is an offset that can adjusted by a privileged agent. The
IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is an example of an interface to adjust k.
See 17.14.4 of the Intel SDM for more details]
