Thomas Gleixner a5a1d1c291 clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t
There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.

Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

@rem@
@@
-typedef u64 cycle_t;

@fix@
typedef cycle_t;
@@
-cycle_t
+u64

Richard Cochran 2eebdde652 timecounter: keep track of accumulated fractional nanoseconds
The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount
of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In
other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time
stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This
patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field
that accumulates the low order bits.

Richard Cochran 74d23cc704 time: move the timecounter/cyclecounter code into its own file.
The timecounter code has almost nothing to do with the clocksource
code. Let it live in its own file. This will help isolate the
timecounter users from the clocksource users in the source tree.
