[PATCH 3/3] hrtimer: Store time as ktime_t in restart block

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Mon Nov 10 2025 - 04:40:42 EST


The hrtimer core uses ktime_t to represent times, use that also for the
restart block. CPU timers internally use nanoseconds instead of ktime_t
but use the same restart block, so use the correct accessors for those.
