This patch implements a userland-side API for generic deferrable timers, per linux/timer.h: * A deferrable timer will work normally when the system is busy, but * will not cause a CPU to come out of idle just to service it; instead, * the timer will be serviced when the CPU eventually wakes up with a * subsequent non-deferrable timer. These timers are crucial for power saving, i.e. periodic tasks that want to work in background when the system is under use, but don't want to cause wakeups themselves. The deferred timers are somewhat orthogonal to high-res external timers, since the deferred timer is tied to the system load, not just to some external decrementer source. So, currently, the implementation has a HZ precision, and the maximum interval is jiffies resolution (i.e. with HZ=1000, on 32 bit that would be around max 49 days). Of course we can implement longer timeouts by rearming the timer, although it probably wouldn't make much sense in real world, so we keep it simple and just return E2BIG if we don't like the interval. Note that the code is still using time calculation that is done by the hrtimer routines, so we pretty much reuse everything except for the timer events themselves (i.e. we use calculation results of hrtimer_forward_now() and hrtimer_expires_remaining(), but never start the hrtimer). So the code path is pretty much the same for both hrtimers and deferrable timers.
