For measuring duration we want to avoid that our start/end timestamps
jump, so use monotonic instead of real time for that.

Here is possibly a tiny race: The wall_to_monotonic offset value could change between the ktime_get() - which uses it internally for wallclock -> monotonic clock conversion, and the ktime_get_monotonic_offset() query below, so the later subtraction of mono_time_offset from etime would not cancel out the addition to etime inside ktime_get() and you wouldn't get correct walltime back. There seem to be multiple sources of change to the value, e.g., do_settimeofday(), do_adjtimex() - the admin or ntp changing the system clock. The internal code, e.g., ktime_get() use a seqlock to protect against this race.

There's a function ktime_get_real(void) which directly gives you the wall time you want as ktime_t, but then you'd still need to do the ktime_get() query in the !drm_timestamp_monotonic case to calculate duration_ns below.

Same problem in the 2nd patch for get_drm_timestamp(). Otoh, the time window for the race is small and it can only happen in the non-default case of !drm_timestamp_monotonic, so i don't know if it is worth fixing it?

Other than that:
