The following patch makes the kernel code independent of the setimeofday() function by replacing the function ktime_get_real_ts64() with ktime_get_ts64(). The function calculates the interval between two successive calls to fmeter_update() and between these if a call to settimeofday() is called it would lead to erroneous calculation of the interval. The function ktime_get_ts64() is the monotonic wall-time clock that does an extra calculation to remove the effects of settimeofday().
