      timekeeping: Introduce fast accessor to clock tai · 3dc6ffae
      Kurt Kanzenbach authored
      Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel
      tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate
      timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI
      as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the
      network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes
      very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application
      traces.
      
      Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the
      monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast
      boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by
      setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of
      offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal
      with it in post processing.
      
      An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as
      ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64
      member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is
      designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new
      member would violate this constraint.
