The CPU can't be executing any instructions whilst it's halted. All you need to do is update the base time/TSC count between when you exit halt and when you return to userland. Since most sane code doesn't call gettimeofday() multiple times per tick, one option might be to unmap the page when the base data becomes invalid and update/remap the page when it is first accessed. -- Peter Jeremy
