[-- Attachment #1: lttng-timestamp-generic.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4662 bytes --]

Wrapper to use the lower level clock sources available on the systems. Fall-back
on jiffies or'd with a logical clock for architectures lacking CPU timestamp
counters. Fall-back on a mixed TSC-logical clock on architectures lacking
synchronized TSC on SMP.

A generic fallback based on a logical clock and the timer interrupt is
available.

generic - Uses jiffies or'd with a logical clock extended to 64 bits by
ltt-timestamp.c.
i386 - Uses TSC. If detects non synchronized TSC, uses mixed TSC-logical clock.
mips - Uses TSC extended atomically from 32 to 64 bits by ltt-heartbeat.c.
powerpc - Uses TSC or generic ltt clock.
x86_64 - Uses TSC. If detects non synchronized TSC, uses mixed TSC-logical clock
