The get_seconds() function suffers from a possible overflow in 2038 or 2106, as well as jitter due to settimeofday or leap second updates, and is deprecated. As we are interested in elapsed time only, using ktime_get_seconds() to read the CLOCK_MONOTONIC timebase is ideal here. This also lets us remove the hack that tries to deal with get_seconds() going slightly backwards, which cannot happen with montonic timestamps.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
