Subject: [PATCH v1] rust: time: rename ClockSource trait to ClockId
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:10:50 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722001050.4115708-1-tomo@flapping.org> (raw)
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
The `ClockSource` trait has nothing to do with the C `struct clocksource`
in `include/linux/clocksource.h`, which abstracts the hardware counter
used as a source of time for the majority of the clockids. The trait
instead carries a `clockid_t` `ID`, i.e. one of the IDs of "the various
system clocks (for POSIX.1b interval timers)" as described in
include/uapi/linux/time.h (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, ...). It thus
plays the role of a `clockid_t`, and the `ClockSource` name overlaps
confusingly with the C `clocksource` concept when reading across C and
Rust code.
Rename the trait to `ClockId` to reflect that it represents a
`clockid_t`. This is a pure rename; there is no functional change.
