john stultz da15cfdae0 time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not
fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids
to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't
have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using
something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso
clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you
only get low-res tick grained time resolution.

This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made
the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the
vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications
on a system.

With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity
trade-off for themselves.

* Thanks to hpa@transmeta.com for some useful hint.
* Special thanks to Ingo Molnar for his early experience with
* a different vsyscall implementation for Linux/IA32 and for the name.
*
* vsyscall 1 is located at -10Mbyte, vsyscall 2 is located
* at virtual address -10Mbyte+1024bytes etc... There are at max 4
* vsyscalls. One vsyscall can reserve more than 1 slot to avoid
* jumping out of line if necessary. We cannot add more with this
* mechanism because older kernels won't return -ENOSYS.
* If we want more than four we need a vDSO.
*
* Note: the concept clashes with user mode linux. If you use UML and
* want per guest time just set the kernel.vsyscall64 sysctl to 0.
