Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.
Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.
This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.
so it can use td_ucred.
- Push Giant down into the end of settime() where we actually set the time

- Remove Giant from clock_settime().

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

for as much as one second, but no more. Allows a miscreant to
double-time march the clock, but no worse.
XXX Unlike putting negative deltas in a while(1), performing small
positive steps inside of a while(1) will return EPERM for the
unpermitted ones. Repeated negative deltas are clamped without
error (but the kernel does log a notice).
1 second prior to the highest the clock has run so far. This allows
time adjusters like xntpd to do their work, but the worst a miscreant
can do is "freeze" the clock, not go back in time.
We still need to decide on an algorithm to clamp positive adjustments.
As it stands, it is possible to achieve arbitrary negative adjustments
by "wrapping" time around.

signanosleep() did not deal with signal masks properly. This change was
based on a discussion with bde some time ago (at least 6 months or more).
signanosleep() should probably go away since it was never really used for
more than a few weeks and doesn't appear in released code. It should
probably be killed before somebody uses it and it becomes a gratuitous
nonstandard feature.

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.

times consistently wrong (up to 1 tick too late), but recent changes
fixed the setting of the main clock, making other times inconsistent.
The inconsistencies tended to show up as a negative resource usage
for the process that set the time.
Fixed the check for setting the clock backwards. A stale timestamp
(`time') was checked, so it was possible to set the clock backwards
by up to almost 1 tick. Until recently, this bug was compensated
for by setting the clock consistently wrong.
Merged the comment about setting the clock backwards from Lite2.
Removed latency micro-optimizations/speed pessimizations in settime().
microtime() and set_timecounter() are relatively expensive, and
they must be called together with clock updates blocked to get a
consistent `delta', so significant latency optimizations are not
possible.
Removed some stale comments.
Highlights:
* Simple model for underlying hardware.
* Hardware basis for timekeeping can be changed on the fly.
* Only one hardware clock responsible for TOD keeping.
* Provides a real nanotime() function.
* Time granularity: .232E-18 seconds.
* Frequency granularity: .238E-12 s/s
* Frequency adjustment is continuous in time.
* Less overhead for frequency adjustment.
* Improves xntpd performance.

at moment of delivery. Restoring the signal mask after the tsleep()
is next to useless since the signal is still queued.. This was interacting
with usleep(3) on receipt of a SIGALRM causing it to near busy loop.
Now, we set the new signal mask "permanently" for signanosleep().
