Use 64 bit HW time counter when available. It is used on
x86 when invariant TSC CPU flag indicates that TSC frequency
is constant. Otherwise, the system time is used as before. Direct
HW time counter usage avoids system call, and related latency
and performance issues.

Computing the offset is unnecessarily expensive. The simplest and lowest
overhead solution is to just store the value read from HW and convert
at a later point in time. But, this no longer represents what odp_time_t
represents. That is why I introduced odp_tick_t in the timer RFC and
design doc posted to the list *several* times.

Purpose of this set is not to change the API, but optimize the implementation.

The most optimal solution would be to zero the HW counter in ODP time init and then here return the register value.

If this function is called often, global.hw_start stays in L1 cache (it's a constant) and overhead of the subtract is a matter of a CPU cycle or two. API change for a CPU cycle or two is not economical. It does not matter too much in practice, if the subtract is done here or during conversion to nsec. The other changes of this set matter more: TSC counter vs system call, and 128 bits vs 64 bits storage (for memory foot print). Also further optimizations are always possible, but this level of changes are needed for the current API to use HW counter and pack timespec into 64 bits. For example, a next step could be to inline these functions.

The point is that you can do better if you don't focus on optimizing what
exists today.

That is only if you think about the previous design.

Why didn't you articulate these concerns earlier? There have been plenty of
times where I have posted code, a doc, and benchmarks indicating that I am active
in this area.

I can understand that apps are not flexible enough to adapt to an API change,
but that should not gate contributions and collaboration.
