s390/debug: make debug event time stamps relative to the boot TOD clock
The debug features currently uses absolute TOD time stamps for the debug events. Given that the TOD clock can jump forward and backward due to STP sync checks the order of debug events can get obfuscated. Replace the absolute TOD time stamps with a delta to the IPL time stamp. On a STP sync check the TOD clock correction is added to the IPL time stamp as well to make the deltas unaffected by STP sync check. The readout of the debug feature entries will convert the deltas back to absolute time stamps based on the Unix epoch. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
