Cover letter [PATCH 00/10] -mm generic clocksoure API
This patch set is meant to modify the clocksource structure and API so that it can be used by more than just the timekeeping code. My motivation is mainly that I feel the current clocksource interface could be used for much more than just timekeeping. So if we keep the clocksource interface (which I think we should) then we should get everything out of it that we can.
This set modifies the API, then converts the time keeping code over to the new API. I also added a generic sched_clock() which just re-uses the clocksource interface to provide a high quality scheduling clock (assuming a good clocksource). Several ARM board just output nanoseconds based on jiffies which is still possible with the generic sched_clock().
I tested this on SMP and UP x86, and compile tested for ARM.
Daniel
