timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_snapshot_id()

Browse source

ktime_get_snapshot() provides a snapshot of the underlying clocksource
counter value and the corresponding CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME timestamps.

There is no usage of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME at the same time and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME support was just added for the ARM64 KVM tracing mechanism,
which needs CLOCK_BOOTTIME and the underlying clocksource counter value.

ktime_get_snapshot() is also not suitable for usage with CLOCK_AUX, but
that's a prerequisite to support PTP hardware timestamping for CLOCK_AUX
steering.

As a first step, rename ktime_get_snapshot() to ktime_get_snapshot_id(),
which now takes a clockid argument to select the clock which needs to be
captured. The result is stored in system_time_snapshot::systime, which will
replace the system_time_snapshot::real/boot members once all usage sites
have been converted.

ktime_get_snapshot() is a simple wrapper which hands in CLOCK_REALTIME as
clockid argument for the conversion period. That means CLOCK_REALTIME is
now captured twice, but that redunancy is only temporary.

As all usage sites of struct system_time_snapshot has to be updated anyway,
rename the 'raw' member to 'monoraw' for clarity.

No functional change vs. current users of ktime_get_snapshot()
