[patch V2 61/64] seqcount: Provide raw_read_seqcount()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Jul 16 2014 - 17:07:19 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 a NMI safe clock monotonic accessor
function.
