But this assumption is easy to fail. For example. the frequency of tsc on ARM64 is much less than 2Ghz. This patch uses the frequency of the current timer to calculate the correct time interval to ensure consistent result on all platforms. In addition, the rte_rdtsc() is replaced with the more recommended rte_get_timer_cycles function in this patch.
