Christopher S. Hall f9677e0f83 x86/tsc: Always Running Timer (ART) correlated clocksource
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]
