kern: add boot-time clock, use it for time stampsHEADmaster
The kernel keeps track of task and thread creation times by saving a time stamp. Previously, the real-time clock was used for this. When the real-time clock is changed, however, the reference frame for the time stamps is lost. This surfaced in Hurd systems reporting spuriously long uptimes. Fix this by creating a boot-time clock and use it as reference frame for the time stamps. * kern/mach_clock.c (clock_boottime_offset): Create clock by keeping track of the offset from the real-time. (clock_boottime_update): New function. (record_time_stamp): Use the boot-time clock for time stamps. (read_time_stamp): New function to convert it back to real-time. (host_set_time): Call `clock_boottime_update'. * kern/mach_clock.h (record_time_stamp): Amend comment. (read_time_stamp): New declaration. * kern/task.c (task_info): Use `read_time_stamp'. * kern/thread.c (thread_info): Likewise.
