Subject: [PATCH 11/12] [RFC] ipv4: avoid timespec in timestamp computation
This is an attempt to avoid the use of timespec in ipv4, where
getnstimeofday() used to be used for computing the number of
milliseconds since midnight, in three places.
That computation would overflow in 2038 on 32-bit machines,
and the normal workaround for this is to use timespec64, which
in turn requires an expensive div_s64_mod() function call
for calculating the seconds modulo 86400.
Instead, this approach introduces a new generic helper function
that does this more efficiently, by using only a 32-bit modulo
(which the compiler can turn into two multiplications), relying
on 39 bits to be sufficient for the current time of day. This
is roughly 100 times faster than a full divmod operation on ARM.
As a further optimization, this does not use the exact nanosecond
value but instead relies tk_xtime() to report the time of the
last jiffy, which is slightly less accurate, depending on the
value of HZ.
