The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the
side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels.
That results in coarser granularity.

To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock
whenever possible.

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.

We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.

The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.

With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.

This way we unbloat a bit main.c and more importantly we initialize
nohz full after init_IRQ(). This dependency will be needed in further
patches because nohz full needs irq work to raise its own IRQ.
Information about the support for this ability on ARM64 is obtained on
init_IRQ() which initialize the pointer to __smp_call_function.

Since tick_init() is called right after init_IRQ(), this is a good place
to call tick_nohz_init() and prepare for that dependency.

The broadcast framework can potentially be made use of by archs which do not have an
external clock device as well. Then, it is required that one of the CPUs need
to handle the broadcasting of wakeup IPIs to the CPUs in deep idle. As a
result its local timers should remain functional all the time. For such
a CPU, the BROADCAST_ENTER notification has to fail indicating that its clock
device cannot be shutdown. To make way for this support, change the return
type of tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() and hence clockevents_notify() to
indicate such scenarios.

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and
the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time()
while holding the jiffies lock.

Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer().

This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed()
in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set()
call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock
to be acquired.

Provide a sysfs interface to allow unbinding of clockevent
devices. The device is unbound if it is unused or if there is a
replacement device available. Unbinding of broadcast devices is not
supported as we don't want to foster that nonsense. If no replacement
device is available the unbind returns -EBUSY. Unbind is available
from the kernel and through sysfs, which is necessary to drop the
module refcount.

Now that timekeeping is protected by its own locks, rename
the xtime_lock to jifffies_lock to better describe what it
protects.

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.

In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.

Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

All callers of do_timer() are converted to xtime_update(). The only
users of xtime_lock are in kernel/time/. Make both local to
kernel/time/ and remove them from the global header files.

[ tglx: Reuse tick-internal.h instead of creating another local header
  	file. Massaged changelog ]
