time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for universal use
There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between
calendar time and broken-down time.
Here is some source I found:
fs/ncpfs/dir.c
fs/smbfs/proc.c
fs/fat/misc.c
fs/udf/udftime.c
fs/cifs/netmisc.c
net/netfilter/xt_time.c
drivers/scsi/ips.c
drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c
drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c
arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
...
We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we
can get following benefit:
1: Make kernel simple and unify
2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
3: Reduce clone of code in future
For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
this patch will make me easy.
This code is based on code from glibc-2.6
