[patch 10/24] timekeeping: Add system_counterval_t to struct system_device_crosststamp
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 13:25:22 EST
An upcoming extension to the PTP IOCTL requires to return the system counter
value and the clocksource ID to user space. get_device_system_crosststamp() has
this information already.
Extend struct system_device_crosststamp with a system_counterval_t member
and fill in the data.
