The entire implementation is in kernel/bpf/helpers.c:
BPF_CALL_0(bpf_ktime_get_ns) {
/* NMI safe access to clock monotonic */
return ktime_get_mono_fast_ns();
}
const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_ktime_get_ns_proto = {
.func = bpf_ktime_get_ns,
.gpl_only = false,
.ret_type = RET_INTEGER,
};
and this was presumably marked GPL due to kernel/time/timekeeping.c:
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ktime_get_mono_fast_ns);
and while that may make sense for kernel modules (although even that
is doubtful), there is currently AFAICT no other source of time
available to ebpf.
Furthermore this is really just equivalent to clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
which is exposed to userspace (via vdso even to make it performant)...
As such, I see no reason to keep the GPL restriction.
(In the future I'd like to have access to time from Apache licensed ebpf code)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
