We want to remove uses of do_gettimeofday() from the kernel since the resulting timeval structure overflows in 2038. This is not a problem for this particular use, but do_gettimeofday() is also not an appropriate method for measuring time intervals, since it requires a conversion into microseconds and is complicated to work with. ktime_get() is a better replacement, as it works with the monontonic kernel timebase and requires a minimum of computation. I'm slightly changing the output from microseconds to nanoseconds here, to avoid introducing a new division operation. This should be fine since the value is only used for debugging.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
