This is the third version of the patch in which I cleaned up and fixed quite some stuff according to feedback from Ted. I assume this version is OK, since I didn't received any further feedback since two weeks: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/4/128. Thanks, Helge ------- Title: Add time-based RFC 4122 UUID generator The current Linux kernel currently contains the generate_random_uuid() function, which creates - based on RFC 4122 - truly random UUIDs and provides them to userspace through /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id and /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid. This patch additionally adds the "Time-based UUID" variant of RFC 4122, with which userspace applications can easily get real unique time-based UUIDs through /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid_time. A new /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid_time_clockseq sysfs entry is available, so that the clock_seq value can be retained across system bootups (which is required by RFC 4122). The attached implementation uses getnstimeofday() to get very fine-grained granularity. This helps, so that userspace tools can get a lot more UUIDs (if needed) per time than before. A mutex takes care of the proper locking against a mistaken double creation of UUIDs for simultanious running processes.
