Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use
jiffies time values. This is problematic on systems that use slow
jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized
environments). It is also a problem for computing precise latency
statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand,
that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single
clock tick.
For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism
already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime.
We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and
convert to milliseconds for presentation. As a result, we need only
addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide
is required only for presentation.
We could report RTT metrics in microseconds. In fact the mountstats
format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface
improvement.
For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for
presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of
currently deployed user space tools. At a later point, we'll move to
an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be
reported.

To report ktime statistics to user space in milliseconds, a new helper
is required.
When considering how to do this conversion, I didn't immediately see
why the extra step of converting ktime to a timeval was needed. To
make that more clear, introduce a couple of large comments.

I'm about to change task->tk_start from a jiffies value to a ktime_t
value in order to make RPC RTT reporting more precise.
Recently (commit dc96aef9) nfs4_renew_done() started to reference
task->tk_start so that a jiffies value no longer had to be passed
from nfs4_proc_async_renew(). This allowed the calldata to point to
an nfs_client instead.
Changing task->tk_start to a ktime_t value makes it effectively
useless for renew timestamps, so we need to restore the pre-dc96aef9
logic that provided a jiffies "start" timestamp to nfs4_renew_done().
Both an nfs_client pointer and a timestamp need to be passed to
nfs4_renew_done(), so create a new nfs_renewdata structure that
contains both, resembling what is already done for delegreturn,
lock, and unlock.

The comparison implicitly converts "int" to "unsigned", making it
safe. But there's no need for the implicit type conversions here, and
the dfprintk() already uses a "%u" formatter for "npages." Better to
reduce confusion.

All encryption types use a confounder at the beginning of the
wrap token. In all encryption types except arcfour-hmac, the
confounder is the same as the blocksize. arcfour-hmac has a
blocksize of one, but uses an eight byte confounder.
Add an entry to the crypto framework definitions for the
confounder length and change the wrap/unwrap code to use
the confounder length rather than assuming it is always
the blocksize.
