The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation. That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires needless exports and exposing internals. This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using them for describing the correlated clock source. This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless exports. This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the PTP folks to build further changes on top. A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmXuAsoTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoQSFD/0Qvyrm/tKgJwdOZrXAmcPkCRu4amrv z5GiZtMt6/GHN6JA6ZkR9tjpYnh/NrhxaGxD2k9kcUsaj1tEZyGULNYtfPXsS/j0 SVOVpuagqppPGryfqnxgnZk7M+zjGAxb58miGMEkk08Ex7ysAkujGnmfHzNBP1mz Ryeeime6aOVB8jhISS68GtAYZ5fD0fWjXfN7DN9G1faJwmF82nJLKkGFy7E1TV9Y IYaW4r/EZuRATXesnIg6YAjop3l3qK1J8hMAam7OqvOqVzGCs0QNg9usg9Pf6je4 BaELA6GIwDw8ncR5865ONVC8Qpw8/AgChNf7WJrXsP1xBL56FFDmyTPGJMcUFXya G7s/YIQSj+yXg9+LPMAQqFTqLolnwspBw/fz2ctShpbnGbs8lmnAOTAjNz5lBddd vrQSn3Gtcj9vHP5OTKXSzHIYGmbvTZp0acsTtuSQGGzJySgVD43m1/xwY5eb11gp vS57GADgqTli8mrgipVPZCQ3o87RxNMqqda9lrEG/6lfuJ1rUGZWTkvqoasJI/jq mGiWidFhDOGHaJJUQajLIHPXLll+NN2LIa4wcZqPWE4qdtBAqtutkPfVAC5O0Qot dA1eWjW02i1Hy7SsUwlpivlDO+MoMn7hqmfXxA01u/x4y8UCnB+vSjWs0LdVlG3G xWIbTzzp7HKEwg== =xKya -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-ptp-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull clocksource updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for timekeeping and PTP core.

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.
