Commit Message

Peter Hilber Dec. 18, 2023, 7:38 a.m. UTC
Add the virtio_rtc module and driver core. The virtio_rtc module implements
a driver compatible with the proposed Virtio RTC device specification.
The Virtio RTC (Real Time Clock) device provides information about current
time. The device can provide different clocks, e.g. for the UTC or TAI time
standards, or for physical time elapsed since some past epoch. The driver
can read the clocks with simple or more accurate methods.

Implement the core, which interacts with the Virtio RTC device. Apart from
this, the core does not expose functionality outside of the virtio_rtc
module. A follow-up patch will expose PTP clocks.

Provide synchronous messaging, which is enough for the expected time
synchronization use cases through PTP clocks (similar to ptp_kvm) or RTC
Class driver.

Notes:
    v3:
    
    - merge readq and controlq into a single requestq (spec v3)
    
    - don't guard cross-timestamping with feature bit (spec v3)
    
    - pad message headers to 64 bits (spec v3)
    
    - reduce clock id to 16 bits (spec v3)
    
    - change Virtio status codes (spec v3)
    
    - use 'VIRTIO_RTC_REQ_' prefix for request messages (spec v3)
