On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the
clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom.

Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of
the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the
hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or
not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.

Introduce tkr_raw and make use of it.

  clock->{mult,shift} -> tkr_raw.{mult.shift}

Kill timekeeping_get_ns_raw() in favour of
timekeeping_get_ns(&tkr_raw), this removes all mono_raw special
casing.

Duplicate the updates to tkr_mono.cycle_last into tkr_raw.cycle_last,

This is the counterpart to get_seconds() based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
use case for this interface are kernel internal coarse grained
timestamps which do neither require the nanoseconds fraction of
current time nor the CLOCK_REALTIME properties. Such timestamps can
currently only retrieved by calling ktime_get_ts64() and using the
tv_sec field of the returned timespec64. That's inefficient as it
involves the read of the clocksource, math operations and must be
protected by the timekeeper sequence counter.

To avoid the sequence counter protection we restrict the return value
to unsigned 32bit on 32bit machines. This covers ~136 years of uptime
and therefor an overflow is not expected to hit anytime soon.

To avoid math in the function we calculate the current seconds portion
of CLOCK_MONOTONIC when the timekeeper gets updated in
tk_update_ktime_data() similar to the CLOCK_REALTIME counterpart
xtime_sec.

In commit 4a0e6377 ("clocksource: Get rid of cycle_last"),
currently in the -tip tree, there was a small typo where cycles_t
was used intstead of cycle_t. This broke ppc64 builds.

Fix this by using the proper cycle_t type for this usage, in
both the definition and the ia64 implementation.

Now, having both cycle_t and cycles_t types seems like a very
bad idea just asking for these sorts of issues. But that
will be a cleanup for another day.

By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.

This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.

This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.

This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.

Credit to Miroslav for pointing this out and providing the original patch

The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.

Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.

The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.

Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.

1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.

2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.

This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.

Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.

Access to time requires to touch two cachelines at minimum

   1) The timekeeper data structure

   2) The clocksource data structure

The access to the clocksource data structure can be avoided as almost
all clocksource implementations ignore the argument to the read
callback, which is a pointer to the clocksource.

But the core needs to touch it to access the members @read and @mask.

So we are better off by copying the @read function pointer and the
@mask from the clocksource to the core data structure itself.

For the most used ktime_get() access all required data including the
@read and @mask copies fits together with the sequence counter into a
single 64 byte cacheline.

For the other time access functions we touch in the current code three
cache lines in the worst case. But with the clocksource data copies we
can reduce that to two adjacent cachelines, which is more efficient
than disjunct cache lines.
