Subject: [PATCH] crc32: use ktime_get_ns for measurement
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 16:39:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160617143932.3289626-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

The crc32 test function measures the elapsed time in nanoseconds,
but uses 'struct timespec' for that. We want to remove timespec
from the kernel for y2038 compatibility, and ktime_get_ns()
also helps make the code simpler here.

It is also slightly better to use monontonic time, as we
are only interested in the time difference.
