This patch is used for reconstructing the absolute time from the 32bit hardware time stamping value. The do_aux ioctl is used for reading the ptp hardware clock and store it to global variable. The timestamped value in tail tag during rx and register during tx are 32 bit value (2 bit seconds and 30 bit nanoseconds). The time taken to read entire ptp clock will be time consuming. In order to speed up, the software clock is maintained. This clock time will be added to 32 bit timestamp to get the absolute time stamp.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
