From 22f4bbcfb131e2392c78ad67af35fdd436d4dd54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 13:33:56 -0400 Subject: timekeeping: Provide hrtimer update function This is a backport of f6c06abfb3972ad4914cef57d8348fcb2932bc3b To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().
