[RFC patch 7/7] timekeeping: Hack to use fine grained timestamps during boot

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: timekeeping--Hack-to-use-fine-grained-timestamps-during-boot.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2968 bytes --]

For demonstration purposes only.

Add a disgusting hack to work around the fact that high resolution clock
MONOTONIC accessors are not available during early boot and return stale
time stamps accross suspend/resume when the current clocksource is not
flagged with CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_ACCESS_OK.

Use local_clock() to provide timestamps in early boot and when the
clocksource is not accessible after timekeeping_suspend(). In the
suspend/resume case this might cause non monotonic timestamps.
