net: add skb_mstamp infrastructure
ktime_get() is too expensive on some cases, and we'd like to get
usec resolution timestamps in TCP stack.
This patch adds a light weight facility using a combination of
local_clock() and jiffies samples.
Instead of :
u64 t0, t1;
t0 = ktime_get();
// stuff
t1 = ktime_get();
delta_us = ktime_us_delta(t1, t0);
use :
struct skb_mstamp t0, t1;
skb_mstamp_get(&t0);
// stuff
skb_mstamp_get(&t1);
delta_us = skb_mstamp_us_delta(&t1, &t0);
Note : local_clock() might have a (bounded) drift between cpus.
Do not use this infra in place of ktime_get() without understanding the
issues.
