[ Upstream commita741deac78] The current torture-test sleeps are waiting for a duration, but there are situations where it is better to wait for an absolute time, for example, when ending a stutter interval. This commit therefore adds an hrtimer mode parameter to torture_hrtimeout_ns(). Why not also the other torture_hrtimeout_*() functions? The theory is that most absolute times will be in nanoseconds, especially not (say) jiffies. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
