getnstimeofday() is deprecated, so I'm converting this to use
ktime_get_real_ts64() as a safe replacement. I considered using
ktime_get_real() instead, but since the algorithm here depends
on the exact timing, I decided to introduce fewer changes
and leave the code that determines the nanoseconds since the
last seconds wrap untouched.
It's not entirely clear to me whether we should also change the
time base to CLOCK_BOOTTIME or CLOCK_TAI. With boottime, we
would be independent of changes due to settimeofday() and only
see the speed adjustment from the upstream clock source, with
the downside of having the signal be at an arbirary offset
from the start of the UTC second signal. With CLOCK_TAI, we
would use the same offset from the UTC second as before and
still suffer from settimeofday() adjustments, but would be
less confused during leap seconds.
Both boottime and tai only offer usable (i.e. avoiding ktime_t
to timespec64 conversion) interfaces for ktime_t though, so
either way, changing it wouldn't take significantly more work.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC could be used with ktime_get_ts64(), but would
lose synchronization across a suspend/resume cycle, which seems
worse.

Sent on Nov 28 originally, got an Ack, but nobody picked it up.
Andrew, it seems you handled some pps generator patches
in the past, can you take this one through -mm?
