Subject[RFC][PATCH] time: Fix ktime_get_raw() issues caused by incorrect base accumulation
Date
In commit fc6eead7c1e2 ("time: Clean up CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time
handling"), I mistakenly added the following:

/* Update the monotonic raw base */
seconds = tk->raw_sec;
nsec = (u32)(tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec >> tk->tkr_raw.shift);
tk->tkr_raw.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec);

Which adds the raw_sec value and the shifted down raw xtime_nsec
to the base value.

This is problematic as when calling ktime_get_raw(), we add the
tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec and current offset, shift it down and add
it to the raw base.

This results in the shifted down tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec being
added twice.

My mistake, was that I was matching the monotonic base logic
above:

seconds = (u64)(tk->xtime_sec + tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec);
nsec = (u32) tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec;
tk->tkr_mono.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec);

Which adds the wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec value, but not the
tk->tkr_mono.xtime_nsec value to the base.

The result of this is that ktime_get_raw() users (which are all
internal users) see the raw time move faster then it should
(the rate at which can vary with the current size of
tkr_raw.xtime_nsec), which has resulted in at least problems
with graphics rendering performance.

To fix this, we simplify the tkr_raw.base accumulation to only
accumulate the raw_sec portion, and do not include the
tkr_raw.xtime_nsec portion, which will be added at read time.
