[PATCH v7 06/11] fs: add percpu counters for significant multigrain timestamp events

Jeff Layton
2024-09-13T13:54:37Z

New percpu counters for counting various stats around mgtimes, and a new
debugfs file for displaying them when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled:

- number of attempted ctime updates
- number of successful i_ctime_nsec swaps
- number of fine-grained timestamp fetches
