x86: add rdtsc barrier to TSC sync check
Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has a regression on one of the test systems here. With the patch, I see: checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock. Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs: checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed. Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable. This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit. As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add explicit syncs as below?
