Linus Torvalds e279160f49 The timekeeping and timers departement provides:
- Time namespace support:
 
     If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects that
     clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
     disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime these
     clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst case time
     goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX requirements.
 
     The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets for
     clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before tasks are
     associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken into account by
     timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
 
     Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided by
     this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
     complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric potential
     use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
 
     The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (host time offsets = 0) is
     in the noise and great effort was made to ensure that especially in the
     VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the kernel configuration the
     code is compiled out.
 
     Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this feature
     and kept on for more than a year addressing review comments, finding
     better solutions. A pleasant experience.
 
   - Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure that
     the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.
 
   - A new clocksource/event driver for Microchip PIT64
 
   - Suspend/resume support for the Hyper-V clocksource
 
   - The usual pile of fixes, updates and improvements mostly in the
     driver code.
