[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 2/5] x86/time: Always count s_time from Xen boot

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Tim Deegan <tim@xxxxxxx>

Timestamped printks() can call NOW() before init_xen_time().
Set a baseline TSC as soon as we've calibrated the TSC rate,
so that NOW() consistently counts from boot time.

v2: use TSC from __start() rather than from early_time_init().
v3: remove later reset of TSC baseline from init_xen_time().
v4: shuffle boot_tsc_stamp definition and use of 'this_cpu()'.
