When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast
logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to
oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without
updating the state and the timer handler.

CPU0				CPU1
				per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode
				and switched to broadcast

Switch to oneshot mode
 tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
  cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask,
	       tick_broadcast_mask);

  broadcast device mode = oneshot

				Timer interrupt
						
				irq_enter()
				 tick_check_oneshot_broadcast()
				  dev->set_mode(ONESHOT);

				tick_handle_periodic()
				 if (dev->mode == ONESHOT)
				   dev->next_event += period;
				   FAIL.

We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was
in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened.

We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because
otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up
anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode.

So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU
has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device
untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode.

This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main
user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The
nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently
broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast
code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.

In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation
mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far,
but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a
constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.

What happens is:

CPU0			CPU1
			idle()
			  arch_idle()
			    tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF);
			      set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask
			  if (cpu_offline())
			     arch_cpu_dead()

cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1)
 cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL

broadcast interrupt
  dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS

We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in
tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid
cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks.

Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the
tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot
broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the
machine.

Adjustments to Xen's persistent clock via update_persistent_clock()
don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is a software only clock
and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC.

The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC
synchronized. On a guest this is pointless.

On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the
hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC
for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier
allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick
and when the clock was set.

Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to
the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update
code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation
of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock.

Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback
to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11
minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so
there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.

Currently the Xen wallclock is only updated every 11 minutes if NTP is
synchronized to its clock source (using the sync_cmos_clock() work).
If a guest is started before NTP is synchronized it may see an
incorrect wallclock time.

Use the pvclock_gtod notifier chain to receive a notification when the
system time has changed and update the wallclock to match.

This chain is called on every timer tick and we want to avoid an extra
(expensive) hypercall on every tick.  Because dom0 has historically
never provided a very accurate wallclock and guests do not expect one,
we can do this simply: the wallclock is only updated if the clock was
set.

If the clock was set (stepped), set the action parameter to functions
in the pvclock gtod notifier chain to non-zero.  This allows the
callee to only do work if the clock was stepped.

This will be used on Xen as the synchronization of the Xen wallclock
to the control domain's (dom0) system time will be done with this
notifier and updating on every timer tick is unnecessary and too
expensive.

hrtimers_resume() only reprograms the timers for the current CPU as it
assumes that all other CPUs are offline at this point in the resume
process. If other CPUs are online then their timers will not be
corrected and they may fire at the wrong time.

When running as a Xen guest, this assumption is not true.  Non-boot
CPUs are only stopped with IRQs disabled instead of offlining them.
This is a performance optimization as disabling the CPUs would add an
unacceptable amount of additional downtime during a live migration (>
200 ms for a 4 VCPU guest).

hrtimers_resume() cannot call on_each_cpu(retrigger_next_event,...)
as the other CPUs will be stopped with IRQs disabled.  Instead, defer
the call to the next softirq.

Several architectures have a dummy timer driver tightly coupled with
their broadcast code to support machines without cpu-local timers (or
where there is a lack of driver support).

Since 12ad1000: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled
from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement
a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures
with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST).

This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.

On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy
clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy
clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but
we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents
before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the
rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating
of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot
hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs
besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick
device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy
devices.

If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is
global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should
choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of
the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take
the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick
device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into
broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from
the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this
scenario:

 CPU0                           CPU1
 ----                           ----
 cyc = read_sched_clock()
 cyc_to_sched_clock()
                                 update_sched_clock()
                                  ...
                                  cd.epoch_cyc = cyc;
  epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc;
  ...
  epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc)

The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we
calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting
the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely
larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that
will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing
time to jump forward too much.

Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has
stabilized.

Merge branch 'timers/clockevents' of git://git.linaro.org/people/dlezcano/clockevents into timers/core

This patch adds a clocksource/clockevent driver for the timer found on some
models in the TI-Nspire calculator series. The timer has two 16bit subtimers
within its memory mapped I/O interface but only the first can generate
interrupts. The first subtimer is used to generate clockevents but only if an
interrupt number and register is given.

The interrupt acknowledgement mechanism is a little strange because the
interrupt mask and acknowledge registers are located in another memory mapped
I/O peripheral. The address of this register is passed to the driver through
device tree bindings.

The second subtimer is used as a clocksource because it isn't capable of
generating an interrupt. This subtimer is always added.

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.

read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.

Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.
