35 * The algorithm we use is:
37 * ns = ((((rdtsc - rnt_tsc_base)<<rnt_shift)*rnt_tsc_scale) / 2**32) + rnt_ns_base;
39 * rnt_shift, a constant computed during initialization, is the smallest value for which:
41 * (tscFreq << rnt_shift) > SLOW_TSC_THRESHOLD
43 * Where SLOW_TSC_THRESHOLD is about 10e9. Since most processor's tscFreq is greater
44 * than 1GHz, rnt_shift is usually 0. rnt_tsc_scale is also a 32-bit constant:
46 * rnt_tsc_scale = (10e9 * 2**32) / (tscFreq << rnt_shift);
