Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ALSA: Deprecate CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps
The kernel has supported monotonic timestamps since linux-2.6.25,
but it still defaults to CLOCK_REALTIME, which has multiple problems:
It skips backwards for every leap second, it may skip at any time from
settimeofday() or NTP updates, and it overflows in year 2038.
alsa-lib already tries to use monotonic timestamps whenever they are
available, so user space should generally be fine with it.
To be on the safe side, I'm adding a Kconfig option that allows retaining
the current behavior, while making the default to disallow CLOCK_REALTIME
stamps. That default makes sense because of the decision to not extend
the ioctl interface to 64-bit time stamps. We need today's kernels to
run beyond 2038 in certain embedded markets, so it's better to discover
any possible problems now rather than running into them only after time
stamps overflow.
I'm defaulting to SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_TYPE_MONOTONIC_RAW behavior rather
than SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_TYPE_MONOTONIC since the latter is not supported
by the HDA hardware timestamps.
A similar change was done in the DRM subsystem and it turned out that
nothing relied on CLOCK_REALTIME behavior for their timestamps, and the
option was subsequently removed. If the same turns out to be true here,
we can do the same and clean it out in a few years.
