in tc_init() with splclock(). Fixes doubled-up "selected timecounter"
messages on some architectures, including pc532 and cobalt.
Fix suggested by Frank Kardel.
struct actually keeps the start of the UTC
time scale and not the boot time. the relationship
is: utc-time = up-time + timebase.
background: when doing an ACPI sleep the uptime
freezes and on wakeup the tc_setclock() leads to
a new timebasebin - this had no relationship with
a boottime as the structure was previously called.
discussed on tech-kern@
anomalies (moving boottime, uptime describing running time)
where discovered by Arnaud Lacombe.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)
