[PATCH v7 clocksource 5/5] clocksource: Do pairwise clock-desynchronization checking

2021-04-02 Thread paulmck
From: "Paul E. McKenney" Although smp_call_function() has the advantage of simplicity, using it to check for cross-CPU clock desynchronization means that any CPU being slow reduces the sensitivity of the checking across all CPUs. And it is not uncommon for smp_call_function() latencies to be in t
