[RFC PATCH 5/5] timekeeping: Add support for clocksource which doesn't stop during suspend

From: Feng Tang
Date: Mon Jan 21 2013 - 01:38:50 EST


There are some new processors whose TSC clocksource won't stop during
suspend. Currently, after system resumes from sleep state, kernel will
use persistent clock or RTC to compensate the sleep time, but for those
new types of clocksources, we could skip the special compensation from
external sources, and just use current clocksource for recounting.

This can solve some time drift bugs caused by the not-so-accurate RTC
devices.
