You probably got the user-space "high resolution counter" (tsc)
emulation wrong. In order to check if the user-space tsc emulation runs
correctly, try the "tsc" test. The only reasons I already saw for the
emulation to run correctly in kernel-space but not in user-space are:
- you are passing the wrong physical address in the "struct
__ipipe_tscinfo" structure, this error only affects user-space
- the processor is configured to forbid access to the timers registers
in user-space, you have to change the configuration to allow it.
