Subject: [PATCH 5.10 038/238] timekeeping: Fix cross-timestamp interpolation for non-x86

From: Peter Hilber <peter.hilber@...nsynergy.com>

[ Upstream commit 14274d0bd31b4debf28284604589f596ad2e99f2 ]

So far, get_device_system_crosststamp() unconditionally passes
system_counterval.cycles to timekeeping_cycles_to_ns(). But when
interpolating system time (do_interp == true), system_counterval.cycles is
before tkr_mono.cycle_last, contrary to the timekeeping_cycles_to_ns()
expectations.

On x86, CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE will mitigate on
interpolating, setting delta to 0. With delta == 0, xtstamp->sys_monoraw
and xtstamp->sys_realtime are then set to the last update time, as
implicitly expected by adjust_historical_crosststamp(). On other
architectures, the resulting nonsense xtstamp->sys_monoraw and
xtstamp->sys_realtime corrupt the xtstamp (ts) adjustment in
adjust_historical_crosststamp().

Fix this by deriving xtstamp->sys_monoraw and xtstamp->sys_realtime from
the last update time when interpolating, by using the local variable
"cycles". The local variable already has the right value when
interpolating, unlike system_counterval.cycles.
