摘要
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises one or more processors and a controller coupled to the processors. Each processor comprises at least one processor time stamp counter (TSC) and a first control unit configured to maintain the processor TSC. The controller comprises at least one controller TSC and a second control unit configured to maintain the controller TSC. The controller is configured to signal the processor responsive to determining that the processor TSC is out of synchronization with the controller TSC. In response to having been signalled that the processor TSC is out of synchronization, the processor is configured to resynchronize the processor TSC to the controller TSC before generating a result for a read TSC instruction. In response to having not been signalled that the processor TSC is out of synchronization, the processor is configured to generate the result responsive to the processor TSC without resynchronizing.
