[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/5] x86/time: Always count s_time from Xen boot



From: Tim Deegan <tim@xxxxxxx>

In the early-boot clock, before the calibration routines kick in,
count time from Xen boot rather than from when the BSP's TSC was 0.

Signed-off-by: Tim Deegan <tim@xxxxxxx>

Stash the timestamp in head.S as a good approximation of when we actually
started, rather than measuing "time since we ran early_time_init()"
