I've seen a strange behaviour with _Timecounter_Binuptime where time can go 
back in a setup where the core is sometimes sleeping (with no periodic 
interrupts enabled - tick is off). The timecounter keeps running.
My current guess would be that the tick is skipped enough times that the 
timecounter almost does a full rollover, at which point time will restart from 
an earlier value i.e for a specific previous "th_offset_count" there are a few 
binuptime() calls where delta goes from 1 to 0xffff_ffff (resulting in a time 
increase) then delta rolls over to a small value again, which gives the time 
jump.

I am trying to find out if there's any obvious mechanism I am not 
seeing/finding that would prevent the above from happening?

Thank you
Lucian Silistru
