Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise HW timestamp
of certain events based on which the fences are triggered. The delta
between the event HW timestamp & current HW reference timestamp can
be used to calculate the timestamp in kernel's CLOCK_MONOTONIC time
domain. This allows it to set accurate timestamp factoring out any
software and IRQ latencies. Add a timestamp variant of fence signal
function, dma_fence_signal_timestamp to allow drivers to update the
precise timestamp for fences.
Changes in v2:
- Add a new fence signal variant instead of modifying fence struct
Changes in v3:
- Add timestamp domain information to commit-text and
dma_fence_signal_timestamp documentation

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
