Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:
- The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
and clock BOOTTIME.
Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
kernels before this change. This allows applications to
programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.
As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
that we can avoid that exercise.
- Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy
- A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.
- Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.
- Make the alarmtimer code play nicely with debugobjects"

hrtimer: Unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior

Input: Evdev - unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior
timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock
timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock
timekeeping/ntp: Determine the multiplier directly from NTP tick length
timekeeping/ntp: Don't align NTP frequency adjustments to ticks
clocksource: Use ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS
clocksource: Use DEVICE_ATTR_RW/RO/WO to define device attributes
clocksource: Don't walk the clocksource list for empty override
The clockid argument of clockid_to_kclock() comes straight from user space
via various syscalls and is used as index into the posix_clocks array.
Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation. Remove the
redundant check for !posix_clock[id] as this is another source for
speculation and does not provide any advantage over the return
posix_clock[id] path which returns NULL in that case anyway.

The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
non-suspended time of a system.
Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().
This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.
This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.

timer_create() specifies via sigevent->sigev_notify the signal delivery for
the new timer. The valid modes are SIGEV_NONE, SIGEV_SIGNAL, SIGEV_THREAD
and (SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID).
The sanity check in good_sigevent() is only checking the valid combination
for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID bit, i.e. SIGEV_SIGNAL, but if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is
not set it accepts any random value.
This has no real effects on the posix timer and signal delivery code, but
it affects show_timer() which handles the output of /proc/$PID/timers. That
function uses a string array to pretty print sigev_notify. The access to
that array has no bound checks, so random sigev_notify cause access beyond
the array bounds.
Add proper checks for the valid notify modes and remove the SIGEV_THREAD_ID
masking from various code pathes as SIGEV_NONE can never be set in
combination with SIGEV_THREAD_ID.

The recent rework of the posix timer internals broke the magic posix
mechanism, which requires that relative timers are not affected by
modifications of the underlying clock. That means relative CLOCK_REALTIME
timers cannot use CLOCK_REALTIME, because that can be set and adjusted. The
underlying hrtimer switches the clock for these timers to CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
That still works, but reading the remaining time of such a timer has been
broken in the rework. The old code used the hrtimer internals directly and
avoided the posix clock callbacks. Now common_timer_get() uses the
underlying kclock->timer_get() callback, which is still CLOCK_REALTIME
based. So the remaining time of such a timer is calculated against the
wrong time base.
Handle it by switching the k_itimer->kclock pointer according to the
resulting hrtimer mode. k_itimer->it_clock still contains CLOCK_REALTIME
because the timer might be set with ABSTIME later and then it needs to
switch back to the realtime posix clock implementation.

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in

variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant

become completely pointless.

If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll
create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we
use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing
a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize
sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the
size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes
from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires
and we're going to deliver the signal.
Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak.
Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

Right now we have time related prototypes in 3 different header
files. Move it to a single timekeeping header file and move the core
internal stuff into a core private header.
