[PATCH 2/2 v7] printk: Add monotonic, boottime, and realtime timestamps

[Prarit Bhargava]

printk.time=1/CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=1 adds a unmodified local hardware clock
timestamp to printk messages.  The local hardware clock loses time each
day making it difficult to determine exactly when an issue has occurred in
the kernel log, and making it difficult to determine how kernel and
hardware issues relate to each other in real time.

Make printk output different timestamps by adding options for no
timestamp, the local hardware clock, the monotonic clock, the boottime
clock, and the real clock.  Allow a user to pick one of the clocks by
using the printk.time kernel parameter.  Output the type of clock in
/sys/module/printk/parameters/time so userspace programs can interpret the
timestamp.

Real clock & 32-bit systems:  Selecting the real clock printk timestamp may
lead to unlikely situations where a timestamp is wrong because the real time
without the protection of a sequence lock when printk_get_ts() is set
printk_get_real_ns().

v2: Use peterz's suggested Kconfig options.  Merge patchset together.
Fix i386 !CONFIG_PRINTK builds.

v3: Fixed x86_64_defconfig. Added printk_time_type enum and
printk_time_str for better output. Added BOOTTIME clock functionality.

v4: Fix messages, add additional printk.time options, and fix configs.

v5: Renaming of structures, and allow printk_time_set() to
evaluate substrings of entries (eg: allow 'r', 'real', 'realtime').  From
peterz, make fast functions return 0 until timekeeping is initialized
(removes timekeeping_active & ktime_get_boot|real_log_ts() suggested by
 tglx and adds ktime_get_real_offset()).  Switch to a function pointer
for printk_get_ts() and reference fast functions.  Make timestamp_sources enum
match choice options for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME (adds PRINTK_TIME_UNDEFINED).

v6: Define PRINTK_TIME_UNDEFINED for !CONFIG_PRINTK builds.  Separate
timekeeping changes into separate patch.  Minor include file cleanup.

v7: Add default case to printk_set_timestamp() and add PRINTK_TIME_DEBUG
for users that want to set timestamp to different values during runtime.
Add jstultz' Kconfig to avoid defconfig churn.
