[patch 15/15] introduce read_boot_clock

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Fri Aug 14 2009 - 09:50:06 EST


From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add the new function read_boot_clock to get the exact time the
system has been started. For architectures without support for
exact boot time a new weak function is added that returns 0.
Use the exact boot time to initialize wall_to_monotonic, or
xtime if the read_boot_clock returned 0.
