Pull clocksource updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for timekeeping and PTP core. The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation. That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires needless exports and exposing internals. This can all be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using them for describing the correlated clock source. So this adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless exports. A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round" * tag 'timers-ptp-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: kvmclock: Unexport kvmclock clocksource treewide: Remove system_counterval_t.cs, which is never read timekeeping: Evaluate system_counterval_t.cs_id instead of .cs ptp/kvm, arm_arch_timer: Set system_counterval_t.cs_id to constant x86/kvm, ptp/kvm: Add clocksource ID, set system_counterval_t.cs_id x86/tsc: Add clocksource ID, set system_counterval_t.cs_id timekeeping: Add clocksource ID to struct system_counterval_t x86/tsc: Correct kernel-doc notation
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.
