9a7a71b1d0 timekeeping: Split timekeeper_lock into lock and seqcount
We want to shorten the seqcount write hold time. So split the seqlock
into a lock and a seqcount.

Open code the seqwrite_lock in the places which matter and drop the
sequence counter update where it's pointless.

a382bf9344 nohz: Assign timekeeping duty to a CPU outside the full dynticks range
This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.

Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.

This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.

But let's start with that very simple approach first.

a831881be2 nohz: Basic full dynticks interface
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:

* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.

* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.

Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*

An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

e445cf1c42 timekeeping: utilize the suspend-nonstop clocksource to count suspended time
There are some new processors whose TSC clocksource won't stop during
suspend. Currently, after system resumes, kernel will use persistent
clock or RTC to compensate the sleep time, but with these nonstop
clocksources, we could skip the special compensation from external
sources, and just use current clocksource for time recounting.

This can solve some time drift bugs caused by some not-so-accurate or
error-prone RTC devices.

The current way to count suspended time is first try to use the persistent
clock, and then try the RTC if persistent clock can't be used. This
patch will change the trying order to:
	suspend-nonstop clocksource -> persistent clock -> RTC

When counting the sleep time with nonstop clocksource, use an accurate way
suggested by Jason Gunthorpe to cover very large delta cycles.

eaa907c546 tick: Provide a check for a forced broadcast pending
On the CPU which gets woken along with the target CPU of the broadcast
the following happens:

  deep_idle()
			<-- spurious wakeup
  broadcast_exit()
    set forced bit
  
  enable interrupts
    
			<-- Nothing happens

  disable interrupts

  broadcast_enter()
			<-- Here we observe the forced bit is set
  deep_idle()

Now after that the target CPU of the broadcast runs the broadcast
handler and finds the other CPU in both the broadcast and the forced
mask, sends the IPI and stuff gets back to normal.

So it's not actually harmful, just more evidence for the theory, that
hardware designers have access to very special drug supplies.

Now there is no point in going back to deep idle just to wake up again
right away via an IPI. Provide a check which allows the idle code to
avoid the deep idle transition.

989dcb645c tick: Handle broadcast wakeup of multiple cpus
Some brilliant hardware implementations wake multiple cores when the
broadcast timer fires. This leads to the following interesting
problem:

CPU0				CPU1
wakeup from idle		wakeup from idle

leave broadcast mode		leave broadcast mode
 restart per cpu timer		 restart per cpu timer
 	     	 		go back to idle
handle broadcast
 (empty mask)			
				enter broadcast mode
				programm broadcast device
enter broadcast mode
programm broadcast device

So what happens is that due to the forced reprogramming of the cpu
local timer, we need to set a event in the future. Now if we manage to
go back to idle before the timer fires, we switch off the timer and
arm the broadcast device with an already expired time (covered by
forced mode). So in the worst case we repeat the above ping pong
forever.
					
Unfortunately we have no information about what caused the wakeup, but
we can check current time against the expiry time of the local cpu. If
the local event is already in the past, we know that the broadcast
timer is about to fire and send an IPI. So we mark ourself as an IPI
target even if we left broadcast mode and avoid the reprogramming of
the local cpu timer.

This still leaves the possibility that a CPU which is not handling the
broadcast interrupt is going to reach idle again before the IPI
arrives. This can't be solved in the core code and will be handled in
follow up patches.

26517f3e99 tick: Avoid programming the local cpu timer if broadcast pending
If the local cpu timer stops in deep idle, we arm the broadcast device
and get woken by an IPI. Now when we return from deep idle we reenable
the local cpu timer unconditionally before handling the IPI. But
that's a pointless exercise: the timer is already expired and the IPI
is on the way. And it's an expensive exercise as we use the forced
reprogramming mode so that we do not lose a timer event. This forced
reprogramming will loop at least once in the retry.

To avoid this reprogramming, we mark the cpu in a pending bit mask
before we send the IPI. Now when the IPI target cpu wakes up, it will
see the pending bit set and skip the reprogramming. The reprogramming
of the cpu local timer will happen in the IPI handler which runs the
cpu local timer interrupt function.

a7dc19b865 clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timers
Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.

This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
preventing this problem.

d2348fb6fd tick: Dynamically set broadcast irq affinity
When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is
shutdown, it notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer
instead.  Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU,
including an idle one which is not concerned by the wake up at all. So
in the worst case an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to the CPU
whose timer expired.

Provide an opt-in feature CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ which tells the core
that is should set the interrupt affinity of the broadcast interrupt
to the cpu which has the earliest expiry time. This avoids unnecessary
spurious wakeups and IPIs.

b274776c54 arm-soc: cleanups
A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated
 largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
 others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.
 The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
 where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even specify
 the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device tree
 as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes basically
 touch every single platform in the process.
 
 We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
 with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
 "multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose
 their headers to architecture independent code any more.
 
 It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
 The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
 removing broken and obsolete code.

5d1d9a29bc clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOP
Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function
for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected
to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power
states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag).

When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic
broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an
attempt is made to broadcast to them.

This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for
devices which require broadcast in low power states.

84e345e4e2 time, Fix setting of hardware clock in NTP code
At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock()
it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest.  This time
difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock,
and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot.

The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time
to the hardware clock in the ntp code.  This patch adds
persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied
in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware
clock.

x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a
+/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time.  Other arches, such
as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the
rtc and will see this problem.

12572dbb53 clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a
function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental
mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each
clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the
driver is otherwise generic.

This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so
drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of
timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

3f4724ea85 cputime: Allow dynamic switch between tick/virtual based cputime accounting
Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based
cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand"
virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies
on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel
boundaries.

This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in
more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account
the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries.

Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between
tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the
overhead associated to user hooks.

023f333a99 NTP: Add a CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC configuration
The purpose of this option is to allow ARM/etc systems that rely on the
class RTC subsystem to have the same kind of automatic NTP based
synchronization that we have on PC platforms. Today ARM does not
implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class
RTC system.

When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic
rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and
is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads
the RTC at boot.

Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used
first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers
need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for
PPC is included in this patch.

Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

Tested on ARM kirkwood and PPC405

7b1f62076b time: convert arch_gettimeoffset to a pointer
Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.

Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().

This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.

74876a98a8 printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work
klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.

However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.

To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

00b4295910 irq_work: Don't stop the tick with pending works
Don't stop the tick if we have pending irq works on the
queue, otherwise if the arch can't raise self-IPIs, we may not
find an opportunity to execute the pending works for a while.

33a5f6261a nohz: Add API to check tick state
We need some quick way to check if the CPU has stopped
its tick. This will be useful to implement the printk tick
using the irq work subsystem.
