[PATCH 08/19] selftests/timers: Add threaded time inconsistency test from timetest suite

From: John Stultz
Date: Wed Feb 25 2015 - 17:36:01 EST


Add the threaded time inconsistency test from the timetest suite.
This checks for time inconsistencies between cpus, usually associated
with clock skew as sometimes found w/ TSCs.
