    time: convert arch_gettimeoffset to a pointer · 7b1f6207
    Stephen Warren 提交于
    Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
    arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
    many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
    different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
    arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
    ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
    M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.
    
    Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
    the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
    initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
    drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
    which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
    implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().
    
    This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
    directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
    had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
    are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
    later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
    this purpose.
