sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().

Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.

Impact: fix udelay when "notsc" boot parameter is passed

With notsc passed on commandline, tsc may not be used for

- make sure the final TSC timestamp is reliable too
Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Introduce a fast TSC-calibration method on sane hardware.

It only uses 17920 PIT timer ticks to calibrate the TSC, plus 256 ticks on
each side to make sure the TSC values were very close to the tick, so the
whole calibration takes 15ms. Yet, despite only takign 15ms,
we can actually give pretty stringent guarantees of accuracy:

 - the code requires that we hit each 256-counter block at least 50 times,
   so the TSC error is basically at *MOST* just a few PIT cycles off in
   any direction. In practice, it's going to be about one microseconds
   off (which is how long it takes to read the counter)

 - so over 17920 PIT cycles, we can pretty much guarantee that the
   calibration error is less than one half of a percent.

My testing bears this out: on my machine, the quick-calibration reports
2934.085kHz, while the slow one reports 2933.415.

Yes, the slower calibration is still more precise. For me, the slow
calibration is stable to within about one hundreth of a percent, so it's
(at a guess) roughly an order-and-a-half of magnitude more precise. The
longer you wait, the more precise you can be.

However, the nice thing about the fast TSC PIT synchronization is that
it's pretty much _guaranteed_ to give that 0.5% precision, and fail
gracefully (and very quickly) if it doesn't get it. And it really is
fairly simple (even if there's a lot of _details_ there, and I didn't get
all of those right ont he first try or even the second ;)

The last changes made the calibration loop 250ms long which is far
too much. Try to do that more clever.

Experiments have shown that using a 10ms delay for the PIT based calibration
gives us a good enough value. If we have a reference (HPET/PMTIMER) and the
result of the PIT and the reference is close enough, then we can break out of
the calibration loop on a match right away and use the reference value.

Otherwise we just loop 3 times and decide then, which value to take.

One caveat is that for virtualized environments the PIT calibration often does
not work at all and I found out that 10us is a bit too short as well for the
reference to give a sane result. The solution here is to make the last loop
longer when the first two PIT calibrations failed.

When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading.
In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration
or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization
overheads.

The warning message explicitly assumes that calibration failed due to SMI's
which may not be the case. Change that to something proper.

The TSC calibration function is still very complicated, but this makes
it at least a little bit less so by moving the PIT part out into a
helper function of its own.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594
"x86: merge tsc calibration".

The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.

Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.

On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.

According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.

1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency

2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.

3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration

4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.

5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.

The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.

Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Impact: crash on non-TSC-equipped CPUs

Don't enable the TSC notifier if we *either*:

1. don't have a CPU, or
2. have a CPU with constant TSC.

In either of those cases, the notifier is either damaging (1) or useless(2).
