(name_to_handle_at()/open_by_handle_at() vs clock_adjtime()), and some
due to movement of get_jiffies_64() in:
	kernel/time.c

hrtimer: Remove empty hrtimer_init_hres_timer()

2011-03-10T18:15:59+00:00

Leftover from earlier implementation. All empty, remove it.

debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification

2011-03-08T15:10:38+00:00

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.

Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.

Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

hrtimer: Update base[CLOCK_BOOTTIME].offset correctly

2011-03-02T16:20:00+00:00

We calculate the current time of each clock base by adding an offset
to clock_monotonic. The offset for the clock bases is set in
retrigger_next_event() which is called when we switch a cpu to highres
mode or when the clock was set.

Add the missing update for clock boottime.

timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base

2011-02-21T20:53:08+00:00

CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

time: Extend get_xtime_and_monotonic_offset() to also return sleep

2011-02-21T20:53:07+00:00

Extend get_xtime_and_monotonic_offset to
get_xtime_and_monotonic_and_sleep_offset().

hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids

2011-02-21T20:53:04+00:00

The hrtimer code is written mainly with CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC
in mind. These are clockids 0 and 1 resepctively. However, if we are
to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip
the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement
timers.

This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and
the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add
a new clockid at number 7 or so.

time: Provide get_xtime_and_monotonic_offset()

2011-01-31T13:55:42+00:00

The hrtimer code accesses timekeeping variables under
xtime_lock. Provide a sensible accessor function and use it.
