commit 648a9bc530 upstream.
Since the hardware sometimes mysteriously totally flummoxes the 64bit
read of a 64bit register when read using a single instruction, split the
read into two instructions. Since the read here is of automatically
incrementing timestamp counters, we also have to be very careful in
order to make sure that it does not increment between the two
instructions.
However, since userspace tried to workaround this issue and so enshrined
this ABI for a broken hardware read and in the process neglected that
the read only fails in some environments, we have to introduce a new
uABI flag for userspace to request the 2x32 bit accurate read of the
timestamp.
v2: Fix alignment check and include details of the workaround for
userspace.
