From 71d19214776e61b33da48f7c1b46e522c7f78221 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maciej Żenczykowski Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2020 09:15:25 -0700 Subject: bpf: add bpf_ktime_get_boot_ns() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On a device like a cellphone which is constantly suspending and resuming CLOCK_MONOTONIC is not particularly useful for keeping track of or reacting to external network events. Instead you want to use CLOCK_BOOTTIME. Hence add bpf_ktime_get_boot_ns() as a mirror of bpf_ktime_get_ns() based around CLOCK_BOOTTIME instead of CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
