David Howells b4f151ff89 MN10300: Move asm-arm/cnt32_to_63.h to include/linux/
Move asm-arm/cnt32_to_63.h to include/linux/ so that MN10300 can make
use of it too.

/**
* cnt32_to_63 - Expand a 32-bit counter to a 63-bit counter
* @cnt_lo: The low part of the counter
*
* Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have
* a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent. This
* is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit
* non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned.
*
* To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits
* in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided
* by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory. The top bit in
* memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period. When
* the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the
* memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware
* counter wraps around.
*
* Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will
* always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent
* reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the
* needed increment. And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless
* as the same value would simply be stored more than once.
*
* The only restriction for the algorithm to work properly is that this
* code must be executed at least once per each half period of the 32-bit
* counter to properly update the state bit in memory. This is usually not a
* problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel timer could be scheduled
* to manage for this code to be executed often enough.
*
* Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered
* as garbage. It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a
* multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit
* implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime
* clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top
* bit explicitly.
