With this support, it's possible for a file to get a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees [1]. To prevent this, maintain a floor value for multigrain timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor value instead. Add a static singleton atomic64_t into timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object, the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline. Add two new public interfaces: - ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time - ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value, and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled with the result. The floor value is global and updated via a single try_cmpxchg(). If that fails then the operation raced with a concurrent update. Any concurrent update must be later than the existing floor value, so any racing tasks can accept any resulting floor value without retrying. [1]: POSIX requires that files be stamped with realtime clock values, and makes no provision for dealing with backward clock jumps. If a backward realtime clock jump occurs, then files can appear to have been modified in reverse order.
