dce48a84ad sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler
Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. 

The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.

Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

[ Impact: reduce xtime_lock write locked section ]

7d27558c41 timekeeping: create arch_gettimeoffset infrastructure
Some arches don't supply their own clocksource. This is mainly the
case in architectures that get their inter-tick times by reading the
counter on their interval timer.  Since these timers wrap every tick,
they're not really useful as clocksources.  Wrapping them to act like
one is possible but not very efficient. So we provide a callout these
arches can implement for use with the jiffies clocksource to provide
finer then tick granular time.

[ Impact: ease the migration to generic time keeping ]

a25cbd045a clocksource: setup mult_orig in clocksource_enable()
Setup clocksource mult_orig in clocksource_enable().

Clocksource drivers can save power by using keeping the
device clock disabled while the clocksource is unused.

In practice this means that the enable() and disable()
callbacks perform clk_enable() and clk_disable().

The enable() callback may also use clk_get_rate() to get
the clock rate from the clock framework. This information
can then be used to calculate the shift and mult variables.

Currently the mult_orig variable is setup from mult at
registration time only. This is conflicting with the above
case since the clock is disabled and the mult variable is
not yet calculated at the time of registration.

Moving the mult_orig setup code to clocksource_enable()
allows us to both handle the common case with no enable()
callback and the mult-changed-after-enable() case.

[ Impact: allow dynamic clock source usage ]

74a03b69d1 clockevents: prevent endless loop in tick_handle_periodic()
tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.

Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.

Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

10dd31a7a1 time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex()
Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked

Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization:

When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL
was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is
arguably the wrong thing to do.

We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in
ntp_update_offset(), in form of:

	if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0))
 		secs = 0;

But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when
the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup.

So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions.

This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for
a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update,
with a very large delta.

fdcedf7b75 time: apply NTP frequency/tick changes immediately
Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed
for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value
is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency().
However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the
next second (via second_overflow).

This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the
requested change made as quickly as expected.

I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.

a75244c3d5 timecompare: generic infrastructure to map between two time bases
Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like
ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code
in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time
stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time.

The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on
a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code
elsewhere.

The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name
"assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper:

a038a353c3 clocksource: allow usage independent of timekeeping.c
So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.

The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
  timecounter.h?)

As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
  provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
  and not exposed to users of timecounter

The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

94df7de028 hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus
Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox

On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.

This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.

This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

2d68259db2 clockevents: let set_mode() setup delta information
Allow the set_mode() clockevent callback to decide and fill in delta
details such as shift, mult, max_delta_ns and min_delta_ns.

With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details
which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent
gets setup using set_mode().

Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save
power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused.
This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the
clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla
details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough.

Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only
clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such
drivers without the delta details filled in.

6b954823c2 cpumask: convert kernel time functions
Impact: Use new APIs

Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *.

Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c.  These should
be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to
put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in.  This was safe.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

457533a7d3 [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

1c5745aa38 sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards, take #2
Redo:

  5b7dba4: sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards

which had to be reverted due to s2ram hangs:

  ca7e716: Revert "sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards"

... this time with resume restoring GTOD later in the sequence
taken into account as well.

The "timekeeping_suspended" flag is not very nice but we cannot call into
GTOD before it has been properly resumed and the scheduler will run very
early in the resume sequence.

5762ba1873 hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus
Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox

On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.

This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.

This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs

struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,

Another single-patch change.  For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.
