Thomas Gleixner d6ed449afd timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock
The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on
resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the
MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux
implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies have never been advanced after resume.

At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the
MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing
interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding
was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read
time since boot.

Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock
behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies.

As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies
anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by
forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume
before the tick is restarted,

In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the
offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the
time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time
spent in suspend.

The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between
the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend.

There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the
(unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the
downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse.

There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time
spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the
BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced
mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that
in a detectable fashion.
