This check was also used by the vdso read function to signal that the current selected clocksource is not VDSO capable. During the rework of the VDSO code the check was removed and replaced with a check for the clocksource mode being != NONE. This turned out to be a mistake because the check is necessary for paravirt and hyperv clock sources. The reason is that these clock sources have their own internal sequence counter to validate the clocksource at the point of reading it. This is necessary because the hypervisor can invalidate the clocksource asynchronously so a check during the VDSO data update is not sufficient. Having a separate indicator for the validity is slower than just validating the cycles value. The check for it being negative turned out to be the fastest implementation and safe as it would require an uptime of ~73 years with a 4GHz counter frequency to result in a false positive. Add an optional function to validate the cycles with a default implementation which allows the compiler to optimize it out for architectures which do not require it.
