[patch V2 00/64] timekeeping: 2038, optimizations, NMI safe accessors

Changes versus V1 [http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140711133623.530368377@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

- Addressed review comments and testing fallout

- Simplified update of the ktime_t data in the timekeeper

- Replaced some more interfaces which are availabe as timespec and
ktime_t by the ktime_t version to get rid of the duplicated data.

- Restructured the timekeeper again to share code with the NMI safe
accessor, which simplifies the update to pure memcpy().

- Removed the monotonic raw fast accessor

I also verified the size impact of the whole endavour:

x86_64:
text data bss dec hex filename
before:
992378 104211 454784 1551373 17ac0d ../build/kernel/built-in.o
2038 changes only:
992312 104211 454784 1551307 17abcb ../build/kernel/built-in.o
full series applied:
991724 104210 454976 1550910 17aa3e ../build/kernel/built-in.o

i386:
text data bss dec hex filename
before:
910278 56201 372436 1338915 146e23 ../build-i386/kernel/built-in.o
2038 changes only:
912381 56201 372468 1341050 14767a ../build-i386/kernel/built-in.o
full series applied:
911607 56200 372596 1340403 1473f3 ../build-i386/kernel/built-in.o

arm:
text data bss dec hex filename
before:
443444 58965 7813144 8315553 7ee2a1 ../build-arm/kernel/built-in.o
2038 changes only:
445205 58965 7813176 8317346 7ee9a2 ../build-arm/kernel/built-in.o
full series applied:
444708 58964 7813368 8317040 7ee870 ../build-arm/kernel/built-in.o

So on x8664 the new functionality comes with smaller size. I whish I
could say the same for 32bit, but there we pay the prize for making
the core timekeeping code 2038 ready. But also there, while the 2038
stuff adds ~2k, the rest (cleanup and the new monotonic accessor)
removes ~0.5k again. So features are not necessarily bundled with
bloat :)

The series is against tip/timers/core. It's also available in git at:
