The code is here:
  http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/core/secure_seq.c

In particular the seq_scale(u32 seq) function introduces the timestamp.

So if you see two initial sequence numbers for TCP streams between the same 
source/destination port/IP then you can work out the time difference (in units 
of 64 ns) according to the clock of the other end point.

Best wishes,
