So we go for Property 6,, but we abstract it. // We offer a type tokutime_t which can hold the time. // This type can be subtracted to get a time difference. // We can get the present time cheaply. // We can convert this type to seconds (but that can be expensive). // The implementation is to use RDTSC (hence we lose property 3: not portable). // Recent machines have constant_tsc in which case we get property (4). // Recent OSs on recent machines (that have RDTSCP) fix the per-processor clock skew, so we get property (3). // We get property 2 with RDTSC (as long as there's not any skew). // We don't even try to get propety 1, since we don't need it. // The decision here is that these times are really accurate only on modern machines with modern OSs. typedef u_int64_t tokutime_t; // Time type used in by tokutek timers. // The value of tokutime_t is not specified here. // It might be microseconds since 1/1/1970 (if gettimeofday() is // used), or clock cycles since boot (if rdtsc is used).
