Do we want a 'warning' of sorts when the delta becomes significant (for whatever that is) ? That might be an indication that there are frequent wakeups which we might not be expecting. Of keep the number of spurious wakeups in a stat counter somewhere -- something to look at if the battery drains faster than expected.

Like I mentioned yesterday; I myself prefer the form:
u64 stamp = ktimer_get_ns();
for (;;) { /* ... */ }
stamp = ktime_get_ns() - stamp; if (stamp) timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64(ns_to_timespec64(ns));
Esp. since ktime_t _is_ s64 these days, there is no point in keep using all the weird ktime helpers that make the code harder to read.
