Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled, there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest. This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids the issue for in-kernel users. Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors, but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
