    timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base · 70a08cca

    CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
    to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
    growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
    but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
    (which might jump around if settimeofday is called).
    
    For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
    CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
    includes any time spent in suspend.
    
    This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
    get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
    in kernel users to set timers against.
