[PATCH 0/2] Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME functionality

[John Stultz]

This patchset extends the hrtimers code to handle additional
clockids and then introduces CLOCK_BOOTTIME which is identical
to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time spent in
suspend (currently as measured by read_persistent_clock()).

[PATCH 1/2] hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids

[John Stultz]

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.

[PATCH 2/2] hrtimers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME clockid, hrtimerbase and posix interface

[John Stultz]

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 complicatoins 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 adds the new CLOCK_BOOTTIME clockid, as well as the
infrastructure needed to support hrtimers against it, and the
wiring to expose it out via the posix interface.

Can you please split that into parts:

    - Add the new functions
    - Wire up hrtimers, posix-timers

Hmm, that conflicts with the xtime_lock cleanup in tip/timers/core.

That's going to conflict with the posix timer cleanup, but it's easy enough to fix.

Will do. And will rebase to tip/timers/core.

It can't right now. I'm just worried someone will try to put a clockid
that doesn't have an hrtimer base into that function sometime in the
future. We can wrap it in a debug config maybe?

Hmm. That would have exploded the current code as well. So I won't
worry too much about.
