           Summary: Remove dependency of jsCurrentTime() on currentTime()
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: yong.li.webkit at gmail.com

The only case currentTime() is used as current UTC time is in by
jsCurrentTime() (through currentTimeMS()).

In all other cases, currentTime() is used as a system tick count and is
supposed to be monotonically increasing, in other words, it shouldn't come
backwards.

These cases include (but not limited to):

1) WebCore
2) Threading code
3) TimeoutChecker

We should separate these 2 usages by removing the dependency of jsCurrentTime()
on currentTime(). Then we can make jsCurrentTime() return current UTC time, and
make currentTime() an increasing system count.
