get_itimer() needs a sample of the current thread group cputime. It invokes
thread_group_cputimer() - which is a misnomer. That function also starts
eventually the group cputime accouting which is bogus because the

Update the CMT driver to mark "renesas,cmt-48" as deprecated.
Instead of documenting a theoretical hardware device based on current software
support level, define DT bindings top-down based on available data sheet
information and make use of part numbers in the DT compat string.
In case of the only in-tree users r8a7740 and sh73a0 the compat strings
"renesas,r8a7740-cmt1" and "renesas,sh73a0-cmt1" may be used instead.

The R-Car Gen3 SoCs so far come with a total for 4 on-chip CMT devices:
- CMT0
- CMT1
- CMT2
- CMT3
CMT0 includes two rather basic 32-bit timer channels. The rest of the on-chip
CMT devices support 48-bit counters and have 8 channels each.
Based on the data sheet information "CMT2/3 are exactly same as CMT1"
it seems that CMT2 and CMT3 now use the CMT1 compat string in the DTSI.

migration_base is used as a placeholder when an hrtimer is migrated to a
different CPU. In the case that hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() hits a timer
which is currently migrated it would pointlessly acquire the expiry lock of
the migration base, which is even not initialized.
Surely it could be initialized, but there is absolutely no point in
acquiring this lock because the timer is guaranteed not to run it's
callback for which the caller waits to finish on that base. So it would
just do the inc/lock/dec/unlock dance for nothing.
As the base switch is short and non-preemptible, there is no issue when the
wait function returns immediately.
The timer base and base->cpu_base cannot be NULL in the code path which is
invoking that, so just replace those checks with a check whether base is
migration base.

Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live
locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU
timers will grow one.
But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock
because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock
must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed.
The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the
lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free
will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize.
Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this.

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues:
- If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.
- If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
complete is never going to end.
To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.
This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.
This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those
preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation
cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually
audited for RT compliance.
The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.
As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant
of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well.

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling hrtimer_cancel() can lead to two issues:
- If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.
- If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
complete is never going to end.
To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If hrtimer_cancel() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.
This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.
The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
hrtimer_cancel() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.

On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels hrtimers which are not explicitely marked for
hard interrupt expiry mode are moved into soft interrupt context either for
latency reasons or because the hrtimer callback takes regular spinlocks or
invokes other functions which are not suitable for hard interrupt context
on PREEMPT_RT.
The hrtimer_sleeper callback is RT compatible in hard interrupt context,
but there is a latency concern: Untrusted userspace can spawn many threads
which arm timers for the same expiry time on the same CPU. On expiry that
causes a latency spike due to the wakeup of a gazillion threads.
OTOH, priviledged real-time user space applications rely on the low latency
of hard interrupt wakeups. These syscall related wakeups are all based on
hrtimer sleepers.
If the current task is in a real-time scheduling class, mark the mode for
hard interrupt expiry.

On PREEMPT_RT not all hrtimers can be expired in hard interrupt context
even if that is perfectly fine on a PREEMPT_RT=n kernel, e.g. because they
take regular spinlocks. Also for latency reasons PREEMPT_RT tries to defer
most hrtimers' expiry into softirq context.
hrtimers marked with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD must be kept in hard interrupt
context expiry mode. Add the required logic.
No functional change for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels.

The tick related hrtimers, which drive the scheduler tick and hrtimer based
broadcasting are required to expire in hard interrupt context for obvious
reasons.
Mark them so PREEMPT_RT kernels wont move them to soft interrupt expiry.
Make the horribly formatted RCU_NONIDLE bracket maze readable while at it.
