    timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock · 72199320
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    
    
    The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
    clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
    non-suspended time of a system.
    
    Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
    non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().
    
    This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
    BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.
    
    This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
    the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.
