[PATCH] Time: Use clocksource infrastructure for update_wall_time
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Modify the update_wall_time function so it increments time using the
clocksource abstraction instead of jiffies.  Since the only clocksource driver
currently provided is the jiffies clocksource, this should result in no
functional change.  Additionally, a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume
function has been added to initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping
state.
