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.

Lets handle it separately so that clockevents_set_mode() only
handles states valid across all devices. This also renames
set_mode_resume() to tick_resume() to make it more explicit.

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.

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.

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.

can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device

We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.
But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
stale:
idle()
tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
halt()
interrupt
jiffies updated from irq_enter()
interrupt handler
softirq function 1 runs 20ms
softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
jiffies updated from irq_exit()
timer wheel has now an already expired timer
(the one added in function 2)
timer fires and timer softirq runs
This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.
To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
idle when need_resched() is set.

Impact: timer hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E systems
When a CPU is brought online then the broadcast machinery can
be in the one shot state already. Check this and setup the timer
device of the new CPU in one shot mode so the broadcast code
can pick up the next_event value correctly.
Another AMD C1E oddity, as we switch to broadcast immediately and
not after the full bring up via the ACPI cpu idle code.

Impact: rare hang which can be triggered on CPU online.
tick_do_timer_cpu keeps track of the CPU which updates jiffies
via do_timer. The value -1 is used to signal, that currently no
CPU is doing this. There are two cases, where the variable can
have this state:
boot:
necessary for systems where the boot cpu id can be != 0
nohz long idle sleep:
When the CPU which did the jiffies update last goes into
a long idle sleep it drops the update jiffies duty so
another CPU which is not idle can pick it up and keep
jiffies going.
Using the same value for both situations is wrong, as the CPU online
code can see the -1 state when the timer of the newly onlined CPU is
setup. The setup for a newly onlined CPU goes through periodic mode
and can pick up the do_timer duty without being aware of the nohz /
highres mode of the already running system.
Use two separate states and make them constants to avoid magic
numbers confusion.

The device shut down does not cleanup the next_event variable of the
clock event device. So when the device is reactivated the possible
stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it
claims to wait on a event already.
This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem,
where systems need key press to come back to life.
Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut
down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that
and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we
can not touch the next_event value.

The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a
too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event.
The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event
device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just
added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device.
When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever.
Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning
and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.
Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code.

While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to
one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during
development.
Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due
to several CPUs trying to update jiffies.
Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be
handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the
assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active.
Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.

I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without
crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the
code and the bug reports what's going on.
The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock
event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion,
when the non boot CPU is brought back up.
The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the
periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state
transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go
through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp.
nohz mode were simply wrong.
Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic
modes.

The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored
across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming
up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices
default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked
to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized
as a side-effect of SMP bootup.)
This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the
last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers. The code
which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared
between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks. The dyntick
functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline. Provide also the
infrastructure to support high resolution timers.

Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered
as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand. The broadcast
function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event
device. This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from
IPI in power states, where the apic stops.
