[PATCH] drm: Use raw monotonic clock

Tue Aug 11 08:46:11 PDT 2015


Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to
user setting the time or due to NTP.

Raw monotonic time is constantly increasing time and isn't affected by NTP
adjustments better suited for comparing two timestamps in short intervals.
