The realtime clock provided by do_gettimeofday() is affected by time jumps caused by NTP or DST. Furthermore, preliminary investigation showed that SMP systems the realtime clock is based on the CPU TSC, and those could get slightly out of sync, resulting in jitter in the timestamps depending on which processor handles the USB interrupts. Instead of the realtime clock, use a monotonic high resolution clock to timestamp the buffer. As this could in theory introduce a regression with some userspace applications expecting a realtime clock timestamp, add a module parameter to switch back to the realtime clock.
