Hi, everyone

Recently, I got a need to measure the latency of the I/O operation of TAPDISK on dom0, in comparison with that latency on a phyisical machine.

I tried to measure the latency by calling "gettimeofday" right before and after the io operation and compute the difference. But the time acquired by gettimeofday is a virtual time of the dom0, which makes it meaningless to compare to the latency on a physical machine.

How can I get the real and highly accurate time in dom0? Thanks:)
