This patch is the first step to test some basic hardware functions like TSC to help people understand if there is any hardware latency as well as throughput problem exposed on bare metal or left behind by BIOS or interfered by SMI. Currently the patch tests TSC, CPU Frequency and RDRAND which is a new CPU instruction to get random number introduced in new CPU like Intel Ivy Bridge in stop_machine context,which is choosen to make sure testers fully control their system under test to rule out some level of unwanted noise.
