This patch replaces jiffies based accounting for runtime_active_time
and runtime_suspended_time with ktime base accounting. This makes the
runtime debug counters inline with genpd and other pm subsytems which
uses ktime based accounting.

timekeeping is initialized before pm_runtime_init() so ktime_get() will
be ready before first call. In fact, timekeeping_init() is called early
in start_kernel() which is way before driver_init() (and that's when
devices can start to be initialized) called from rest_init() via
kernel_init_freeable() and do_basic_setup().

This is not (always) correct. My qemu "collie" boot test fails with this
patch applied. Reverting the patch fixes the problem. Bisect log attached.


Can you try the patch below ?
ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() has the advantage of being init with dummy clock so
it can be used at early_init.

Yes, that works.
