Somewhere in all the patchsets before, this cleanup got lost.

<title>timekeeping: Add missing _ns functions for coarse accessors</title>

<content type='text'>
This further unifies the accessors for the fast and coarse functions, so
that the same types of functions are available for each. There was also
a bit of confusion with the documentation, which prior advertised a
function that has never existed. Finally, the vanilla ktime_get_coarse()
was omitted from the API originally, so this fills this oversight.

There are no more remaining users of these deprecated wrappers, so
let's remove them before new users have a chance to make it in.

See Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst for replacements when
porting old drivers that contain calls to this function.

<id>urn:sha1:976516404ff3fab2a8caa8bd6f5efc1437fed0b8</id>
<content type='text'>
After many small patches, at least some of the deprecated interfaces
have no remaining users any more and can be removed:

  current_kernel_time
  do_settimeofday
  get_monotonic_boottime
  get_monotonic_boottime64
  get_monotonic_coarse
  get_monotonic_coarse64
  getrawmonotonic64
  ktime_get_real_ts
  timekeeping_clocktai
  timespec_trunc
  timespec_valid_strict
  time_to_tm

For many of the remaining time functions, we are missing one or
two patches that failed to make it into 4.19, they will be removed
in the following merge window.

The replacement functions for the removed interfaces are documented in
Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst.

As Dave Chinner points out, we don't have a proper documentation for the
ktime_get() family of interfaces, making it rather unclear which of the
over 30 (!) interfaces one should actually use in a driver or elsewhere
in the kernel.

I wrote up an explanation from how I personally see the interfaces,
documenting what each of the functions do and hopefully making it a bit
clearer which should be used where.

This is the first time I tried writing .rst format documentation, so
in addition to any mistakes in the content, I probably also introduce
nonstandard formatting ;-)

I first tried to add an extra section to
Documentation/timers/timekeeping.txt, but this is currently not included
in the generated API, and it seems useful to have the API docs as part
of what gets generated in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/core-api/index.html#core-utilities
instead, so I started a new file there.

I also considered adding the documentation inline in the
include/linux/timekeeping.h header, but couldn't figure out how to do
that in a way that would result both in helpful inline comments as
well as readable html output, so I settled for the latter, with
a small note pointing to it from the header.
