Andrew Hunter d78c9300c5 jiffies: Fix timeval conversion to jiffies 
timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:

setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);

would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.)  Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val.  So fix the math.

Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)

jiffies = usec  * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)

by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:

jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC

and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)

In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.

We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies.  This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.

Tested: the following program:

int main() {
  struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
  /* Initially set to 10 ms. */
  struct itimerval initial = zero;
  initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
  setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
  /* Save and restore several times. */
  for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    struct itimerval prev;
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
    /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
    printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
           prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
           prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
  }
    return 0;
}

* We want to do realistic conversions of time so we need to use the same
* values the update wall clock code uses as the jiffies size. This value
* is: TICK_NSEC (which is defined in timex.h). This
* is a constant and is in nanoseconds. We will use scaled math
* with a set of scales defined here as SEC_JIFFIE_SC, USEC_JIFFIE_SC and
* NSEC_JIFFIE_SC. Note that these defines contain nothing but
* constants and so are computed at compile time. SHIFT_HZ (computed in
* timex.h) adjusts the scaling for different HZ values.
* Scaled math??? What is that?
*
* Scaled math is a way to do integer math on values that would,
* otherwise, either overflow, underflow, or cause undesired div
* instructions to appear in the execution path. In short, we "scale"
* up the operands so they take more bits (more precision, less
* underflow), do the desired operation and then "scale" the result back
* by the same amount. If we do the scaling by shifting we avoid the
* costly mpy and the dastardly div instructions.
* Suppose, for example, we want to convert from seconds to jiffies
* where jiffies is defined in nanoseconds as NSEC_PER_JIFFIE. The
* simple math is: jiff = (sec * NSEC_PER_SEC) / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE; We
* observe that (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE) is a constant which we
* might calculate at compile time, however, the result will only have
* about 3-4 bits of precision (less for smaller values of HZ).
*
* So, we scale as follows:
* jiff = (sec) * (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE);
* jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC * SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) / SCALE;
* Then we make SCALE a power of two so:
* jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) >> SCALE;
* Now we define:
* #define SEC_CONV = ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE))
* jiff = (sec * SEC_CONV) >> SCALE;
*
* Often the math we use will expand beyond 32-bits so we tell C how to
* do this and pass the 64-bit result of the mpy through the ">> SCALE"
* which should take the result back to 32-bits. We want this expansion
* to capture as much precision as possible. At the same time we don't
* want to overflow so we pick the SCALE to avoid this. In this file,
* that means using a different scale for each range of HZ values (as
* defined in timex.h).
*
* For those who want to know, gcc will give a 64-bit result from a "*"
* operator if the result is a long long AND at least one of the
* operands is cast to long long (usually just prior to the "*" so as
* not to confuse it into thinking it really has a 64-bit operand,
* which, buy the way, it can do, but it takes more code and at least 2
* mpys).
* We also need to be aware that one second in nanoseconds is only a
* couple of bits away from overflowing a 32-bit word, so we MUST use
* 64-bits to get the full range time in nanoseconds.
