DRM_VMW_EVENT_FENCE_SIGNALED (struct drm_vmw_event_fence) and
DRM_EVENT_VBLANK (struct drm_event_vblank) pass timestamps in 32-bit
seconds/microseconds format.

As of commit c61eef726a78 ("drm: add support for monotonic vblank
timestamps"), other DRM drivers use monotonic times for drm_event_vblank,
but vmwgfx still uses CLOCK_REALTIME for both events, which suffers from
the y2038/y2106 overflow as well as time jumps.

For consistency, this changes vmwgfx to use ktime_get_ts64 as well,
which solves those problems and avoids the deprecated do_gettimeofday()
function.

This should be transparent to to user space, as long as it doesn't
compare the time against the result of gettimeofday().

Resending the unchanged patch, please pick it up when you have time,
or feel free to ignore this email in case it's already in some tree
that just isn't part of linux-next but will be sent during the
next merge window.

Hi, Arnd,

Sinclair's on paternal leave and I thought this patch was already in 
drm-next. My bad.
Dave, is it too late to pull this in for the next merge window?

No worries.

The patch isn't urgent, it's fine to wait until after the merge window, I just
want to avoid having to send it once more as I make my way through
the remaining 'timeval' and 'timespec' users.

Since this is a core DRM patch I think Sinclair was expecting it to be 
pulled in using the drm-misc tree. Did you get a comment from Daniel on 
this patch?

Thanks,
Thomas

Actually, checkpatch.pl complains about -ENOSYS, so I'm sending a pull 
request for v1 of this patch instead, to make everybody happy. I've 
rephrased the commit log somewhat. Hope that's OK.
