/**
* struct timekeeper - Structure holding internal timekeeping values.
* @tkr_mono: The readout base structure for CLOCK_MONOTONIC
* @xtime_sec: Current CLOCK_REALTIME time in seconds
* @ktime_sec: Current CLOCK_MONOTONIC time in seconds
* @wall_to_monotonic: CLOCK_REALTIME to CLOCK_MONOTONIC offset
* @offs_real: Offset clock monotonic -> clock realtime
* @offs_boot: Offset clock monotonic -> clock boottime
* @offs_tai: Offset clock monotonic -> clock tai
* @offs_aux: Offset clock monotonic -> clock AUX
* @coarse_nsec: The nanoseconds part for coarse time getters
* @id: The timekeeper ID
* @tkr_raw: The readout base structure for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
* @raw_sec: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time in seconds
* @cs_id: The ID of the current clocksource
* @cs_ns_to_cyc_mult: Multiplicator for nanoseconds to cycles conversion
* @cs_ns_to_cyc_shift: Shift value for nanoseconds to cycles conversion
* @cs_ns_to_cyc_maxns: Maximum nanoseconds to cyles conversion range
* @clock_was_set_seq: The sequence number of clock was set events
* @cs_was_changed_seq: The sequence number of clocksource change events
* @clock_valid: Indicator for valid clock
* @monotonic_to_boot: CLOCK_MONOTONIC to CLOCK_BOOTTIME offset
* @monotonic_to_aux: CLOCK_MONOTONIC to CLOCK_AUX offset
* @cycle_interval: Number of clock cycles in one NTP interval
* @xtime_interval: Number of clock shifted nano seconds in one NTP
* interval.
* @xtime_remainder: Shifted nano seconds left over when rounding
* @cycle_interval
* @raw_interval: Shifted raw nano seconds accumulated per NTP interval.
* @next_leap_ktime: CLOCK_MONOTONIC time value of a pending leap-second
* @ntp_tick: The ntp_tick_length() value currently being
* used. This cached copy ensures we consistently
* apply the tick length for an entire tick, as
* ntp_tick_length may change mid-tick, and we don't
* want to apply that new value to the tick in
* progress.
* @ntp_error: Difference between accumulated time and NTP time in ntp
* shifted nano seconds.
* @ntp_error_shift: Shift conversion between clock shifted nano seconds and
* ntp shifted nano seconds.
* @ntp_err_mult: Multiplication factor for scaled math conversion
* @skip_second_overflow: Flag used to avoid updating NTP twice with same second
* @tai_offset: The current UTC to TAI offset in seconds
*
* Note: For timespec(64) based interfaces wall_to_monotonic is what
* we need to add to xtime (or xtime corrected for sub jiffy times)
* to get to monotonic time. Monotonic is pegged at zero at system
* boot time, so wall_to_monotonic will be negative, however, we will
* ALWAYS keep the tv_nsec part positive so we can use the usual
* normalization.
*
* wall_to_monotonic is moved after resume from suspend for the
* monotonic time not to jump. We need to add total_sleep_time to
* wall_to_monotonic to get the real boot based time offset.
*
* wall_to_monotonic is no longer the boot time, getboottime must be
* used instead.
*
* @monotonic_to_boottime is a timespec64 representation of @offs_boot to
* accelerate the VDSO update for CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
*
* @offs_aux is used by the auxiliary timekeepers which do not utilize any
* of the regular timekeeper offset fields.
*
* @monotonic_to_aux is a timespec64 representation of @offs_aux to
* accelerate the VDSO update for CLOCK_AUX.
*
* The cacheline ordering of the structure is optimized for in kernel usage of
* the ktime_get() and ktime_get_ts64() family of time accessors. Struct
* timekeeper is prepended in the core timekeeping code with a sequence count,
* which results in the following cacheline layout:
*
* 0: seqcount, tkr_mono
* 1: xtime_sec ... id
* 2: tkr_raw, raw_sec
* 3,4: Internal variables
*
* Cacheline 0,1 contain the data which is used for accessing
* CLOCK_MONOTONIC/REALTIME/BOOTTIME/TAI, while cacheline 2 contains the

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
