[patch 2/8] x86/tsc: Detect random warps

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-tsc--Detect-random-warps.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1900 bytes --]

If time warps can be observed then they should only ever be observed on one
CPU. If they are observed on both CPUs then the system is completely hosed.

Add a check for this condition and notify if it happens.
