[PATCH] Add getnstimestamp function
There are several functions that might seem appropriate for a timestamp:
get_cycles()
current_kernel_time()
do_gettimeofday()
<read jiffies/jiffies_64>
Each has problems with combinations of SMP-safety, low resolution, and
monotonicity. This patch adds a new function that returns a monotonic SMP-safe
timestamp with nanosecond resolution where available.
Changes:
Split timestamp into separate patch
Moved to kernel/time.c
Renamed to getnstimestamp
Fixed unintended-pointer-arithmetic bug
