需要删除以下目录，完全使用clock_time来替代：
原来一些ktime/cputime/hwtimer API如未有引用的，都移除掉。 但是需要支持到POSIX中的time相关 API： int clock_settime(clockid_t clock_id, const struct timespec *tp);
int clock_gettime(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *tp);
int clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *res);
int clock_getcpuclockid(pid_t pid, clockid_t *clock_id);
int timer_create(clockid_t, struct sigevent *, timer_t *);
int timer_delete(timer_t);
int timer_gettime(timer_t, struct itimerspec *);
int timer_getoverrun(timer_t);
int timer_settime(timer_t, int, const struct itimerspec *,
struct itimerspec *); |
- Deleted ktime, cputime, and hwtimer directories completely - Removed old header files (ktime.h, cputime.h, cputimer.h, hwtimer.h) - Updated ctime.c to only use RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME (removed RT_USING_KTIME conditionals) - Updated main drivers Kconfig to remove old subsystem entries - Added all legacy API declarations to clock_time.h when compatibility is enabled - Added legacy type definitions (rt_clock_cputime_ops, rt_cputimer) to clock_time.h - Removed ktime.h include from ktime_compat.c (types now in clock_time.h) - All POSIX time APIs (clock_gettime, clock_settime, timer_create, etc.) continue to work Co-authored-by: BernardXiong <1241087+BernardXiong@users.noreply.github.com>

需要进行修正。另外，也希望移除：
如需要cputime，boottime相关API实现，可以在文件：
所有涉及到 |

Fixed in commit c7d1918. All ktime references have been replaced: Files Updated:
All source code ktime references have been eliminated. Only BSP rtconfig.h files contain RT_USING_KTIME defines, which will be handled by Kconfig. |

This section details on the original issue you should resolve
<issue_title>[Feature] 对 hwtimer/ktime/cputime 进行整体重构</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Describe problem solved by the proposed feature
目前 hwtimer/ktime/cputime 整体非常乱，应该从整体维度上进行重构，让它有一个更好的架构：
对于这部分的重构，应该先给出整体设计，涉及到的文件评估，完成重构，ci涉及到的每个bsp构建，qemu测试通过。

<agent_instructions>对 hwtimer/ktime/cputime 做重构，注意到这个issue下所有的评论（引入clock_time，移除hwtimer/ktime/cputime），同时也在
documentation/6.components/device-driver下加入 clock_time 的英文和中文文档。按这样的方式，使用 GPT-5.1-Codex 来进行重构，重构完成需要确保本地所有ci相关的bsp都正确无误。</agent_instructions>Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)
@BernardXiong # RT-Thread 时间子系统（ktime / cputime / hwtimer）分析OS 时间子系统包含的主要部分
现状情况
ktime
boottime.c（弱符号，默认用 tick 计数换算 ns/us/s）、cputimer.c（弱符号，默认用 tick；AArch64/virt64 覆写为硬件计数器）、hrtimer.c（链表管理，spinlock 保护）。rt_ktime_hrtimer_settimeout作为硬件回调入口，不实现时退化为软定时器；_cnt_convert做 cputimer 周期到 hrtimer 周期的换算，防止大跨度溢出；_set_next_timeout_locked尝试“消化”已过期并立即重新编程下一个超时。rt_timer类似，易迁移。cputime
rt_clock_cputime_ops（getres/gettime/settimeout），clock_cpu_*工具 API，cputimer.c实现一个基于clock_cpu_settimeout的定时器链表（带信号量 sleep），cputime_cortexm/riscv提供 ops 示例。clock_cpu_settimeout允许硬件 oneshot；rt_cputimer_start/stop使用全局中断屏蔽保护链表；rt_cputime_sleep/ndelay/udelay/mdelay提供高精度延时。udelay类需求。hwtimer
rt_hwtimer_ops/info/device，实现文件hwtimer.c，以及典型驱动hwtimer-arm_arch.c。timeout_calc根据 sec/usec 和 freq/maxcnt 计算合适的 cycles/reload，支持上下计数模式；rt_device_hwtimer_isr维护 overflow/cycles，并通过rx_indicate通知上层；control 支持设频率/模式/获取 info。总结：ktime 和 cputime 都在提供“高精度计数 + oneshot/定时”能力，但各自一套接口（weak vs ops），应该是ktime是cputime的后期期望改善版本(但改善不彻底)。hrtimer/cputimer 都是链表调度，未复用 hwtimer。
@BernardXiong cputime - 是一份简洁版本的cpu time功能，提供对POSIX time的支持（clock_gettime/clock_settime/clock_getres）。而其中又被塞入了一份 定时器 的实现（以链表的方式） hwtimer - 是一份提供硬件外设定时器的设备操作接口的实现； ktime - 期望是一份容纳包括 cputime / bootime，再加上 hrtimer (高分辨率定时器)的实现。但这份实现加入后，又没把之前的给移除……然后就开始堆山了。POSIX中的clockid_t，常见的包括：（取决于实现，POSIX vs Linux 扩展）：
- CLOCK_REALTIME：可被 settimeofday 等调整的墙钟时间。
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC：单调递增，不受手动改时影响（可能受 NTP 微调）。
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW（Linux）：硬件单调计数原始值，不做 NTP 调整。
- CLOCK_BOOTTIME（Linux）：含挂起/休眠时间的单调计数。
- CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE / CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE（Linux）：低精度、低开销版本。
- CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID：当前进程占用的 CPU 时间。
- CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID：当前线程占用的 CPU 时间。
- CLOCK_TAI（Linux）：国际原子时基准，不受闰秒调整。
- 其他平台可能有：CLOCK_VIRTUAL、CLOCK_PROF（部分 Unix 旧实现），以及实现自定义的专用时钟。 Availability 需查各平台的 <time.h>/man page。
@BernardXiong ## RT-Thread 时间子系统 C-OOP 设计方案引入统一时间设备抽象
clock_time：作为模块目录（如components/drivers/clock_time），聚合时间基准/事件源能力，显式表意且不与rt_timer冲突。rt_clock_time：作为对象/接口前缀，含义是“时间基准/时钟事件的统一抽象”。rt_clock_time_default（由 BSP 绑定：可直接封装 hwtimer 的 oneshot + count_get，或架构计数器），作为系统时基。res_scale固定用RT_KTIME_RESMUL，兼容当前换算逻辑。目录与功能覆盖情况（clock_time）
components/drivers/clock_time，集中放置抽象、公共实现与适配器。clock_gettime/clock_settime支撑、hrtimer（红黑树优先，极简版可链表降级），并保留定时器对象/设备化接口（可由 hwtimer/DM/OFW 实例化）。rt_clock_time_*前缀的对象/函数，避免与rt_timer冲突且表意清晰。clock_time 引入后，移除 cputime, hwtimer, ktime，都统一收归到 clock_time 中。如原有API有引用，做兼容处理或代码调整。</comment_new>
