[PATCH 0/2] Introduce a fast boot clock and add it as trace clock

[Joel Fernandes]

Currently no trace clock can account for suspend time, using monotonic during
tracing in the suspend path means the trace times wont be advaced. Using the
boot clock with ktime_get_with_offset is not an option due to live locking
concerns in NMI context as suggested by Thomas [1].
These patches add a fast boot clock based on fast monotonic clock and adds
a trace clock based on it which solves both these issues.

Changes since RFC:
- Moved the ktime_t offsets to the end of tk_fast
- use unlikely to optimize for the monotonic case

  timekeeping: Introduce a fast boot clock derived from fast monotonic
    clock
  trace: Add an option for boot clock as trace clock
