Re: [PATCH V7 2/8] posix clocks: introduce a syscall for clock tuning.

A new syscall is introduced that allows tuning of a POSIX clock. The
syscall is implemented for four architectures: arm, blackfin, powerpc,
and x86.

The new syscall, clock_adjtime, takes two parameters, the clock ID,
and a pointer to a struct timex. Any ADJTIMEX(2) operation may be
requested via this system call, but various POSIX clocks may or may
not support tuning.

The syscall implementation looks good to me.

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <redacted>

It would be good to add it to include/asm-generic/unistd.h
as well, so that tile and future architectures get it, too.
