Changes since v3:
- broken out separate patches adding time_change_notify syscall to
arm, powerpc, x86, ia64, s390 and blackfin
Changes since v2:
- replaced sysfs interface with a syscall
- added sysctl/procfs handle to set a limit to the number of users
- fixed issues pointed out by Greg.
Changes since v1:
- updated against 2.6.36-rc1,
- added notification/filtering options,
- added Documentation/ABI/sysfs-kernel-time-notify interface description.
Certain userspace applications (like "clock" desktop applets or cron) might
want to be notified when some other application changes the system time. It
might also be important for an application to be able to distinguish between
its own and somebody else's time changes.
This patch implements a notification interface via eventfd mechanism. Proccess
wishing to be notified about time changes should create an eventfd and pass it
to time_change_notify() syscall along with notification options.
After that, any calls to settimeofday()/stime()/adjtimex() made by other
processes will be signalled to this eventfd. Credits for suggesting the eventfd
mechanism for this purpose go to Kirill Shutemov.
So far, this implementation can only filter out notifications caused by
time change calls made by the process that called the time_change_notify()
syscall, but not its children which (might) have inherited the eventfd. It
is so far not clear to me whether this is bad and more confusing than
excluding such children as well.
This patch adds the syscall to asm-generic/unistd.h.

No, you need to use 370 as the syscall number on ARM as 367-369
have been assigned to the fanotify and prlimit64 syscalls; see

comes to merging it, I'll update it against Russell's tree.

Please add the missing newline. Thanks.
