Thanks Martin, this is exactly what I need (clock_subr.h), I don't need 
all what struct tm provides,
struct clock_ymdhms is sufficient.

Converting from/to struct clock_ymdhms is used for firing fair usage 
policy event,
which can use weekday or monthday for checking transferred data.
I.e. internet user needs to be notified about transferred data in last week.
