[patch 53/55] seqcount: Provide raw_read_seqcount()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 09:45:26 EST


raw_read_seqcount opens a read critical section of the given seqcount
without any lockdep checking and without checking or masking the
LSB. Calling code is responsible for handling that.

Preparatory patch to provide NMI safe clock monotonic[_raw] accessor
functions.
