Device timestamp can be in real time mode (cycles to time translation is offloaded into the Hardware). With real time mode, HW provides timestamp which is already translated into nanoseconds. With this mode, driver adjusts both the HW and timecounter (to keep clock_info_page updated) using callbacks: adjfreq, adjtime and settime. HW clock modifications are done via MTUTC access reg commands. Driver is allowed to modify HW real time clock only if MCAM ptpcyc2realtime_modify capability is set. Add MTUTC set function to be used for configuring the HW real time clock. Modify existing code to support both internal timer (with conversion via timecounter_cyc2time() and real time (no conversions). Align the signatures of the helpers converting from timestamp to nanoseconds. With that, when allocating a queue assign the corresponding callback with respect to the capability. Adjust 1PPS timestamp calculation flows based on the timestamp mode. Cyc2time offload brings two major advantages: - Improve MTAE (Max Time Absolute Error) for HW TS by up to 160 ns over a 100% loaded CPU. - Faster data-path timestamp to nanoseconds, as translation is lock-less and done in HW. On real time mode, timestamp format is 32 high bits of seconds and 32 low bits of nanoseconds. On some flows, driver shall convert this format into nanoseconds wall-clock with REAL_TIME_TO_NS macro. HW supports a single clock, and it is shared by all functions on a device. In case real time clock is used, it is recommended to use a single GM to all device's functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
