Merge tag 'timers-ptp-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for NTP/timekeeping and PTP:
- Expand timekeeping snapshot mechanisms
The various snapshot functions are mostly used for PTP to collect
"atomic" snapshots of various involved clocks.
They lack support for the recently introduced AUX clocks and do not
provide the underlying counter value (e.g. TSC) to user space.
Exposing the counter value snapshot allows for better control and
steering.
Convert the hard wired ktime_get_snapshot() to take a clock ID,
which allows the caller to select the clock ID to be captured along
with CLOCK_MONONOTONIC_RAW. Additionally capture the underlying
hardware counter value and the clock source ID of the counter.
Expand the hardware based snapshot capture where devices provide a
mechanism to snapshot the hardware PTP clock and the system counter
(usually via PCI/PTM) to support AUX clocks and also provide the
captured counter value back to the caller and not only the clock
timestamps derived from it.
- Add a new optional read_snapshot() callback to clocksources
That is required to capture atomic snapshots from clocksources
which are derived from TSC with a scaling mechanism (e.g. Hyper-V,
KVMclock).
The value pair is handed back in the snapshot structure to the
callers, so they can do the necessary correlations in a more
precise way.
This touches usage sites of the affected functions and data structure
all over the tree, but stays fully backwards compatible for the
existing user space exposed interfaces. New PTP IOCTLs will provide
access to the extended functionality in later kernel versions"
