//! Time related primitives.
//!
//! This module contains the kernel APIs related to time and timers that
//! have been ported or wrapped for usage by Rust code in the kernel.
//!
//! There are two types in this module:
//!
//! - The [`Instant`] type represents a specific point in time.
//! - The [`Delta`] type represents a span of time.
//!
//! Note that the C side uses `ktime_t` type to represent both. However, timestamp
//! and timedelta are different. To avoid confusion, we use two different types.
//!
//! A [`Instant`] object can be created by calling the [`Instant::now()`] function.
//! It represents a point in time at which the object was created.
//! By calling the [`Instant::elapsed()`] method, a [`Delta`] object representing
//! the elapsed time can be created. The [`Delta`] object can also be created
//! by subtracting two [`Instant`] objects.
//!
//! A [`Delta`] type supports methods to retrieve the duration in various units.
//!
