Subject[RFC PATCH v3 11/12] lib: vdso: split clock verification out of __arch_get_hw_counter()
Date
__arch_get_hw_counter() returns the current value of the counter if
the counter is valid or a negative number if the counter is not valid.

This is suboptimal because the validity is checked twice: once before
reading the counter and once after reading the counter.

Optionaly split the verification out of __arch_get_hw_counter()
by providing an optional __arch_is_hw_counter_valid() function.
