john stultz c37e7bb5d2 [PATCH] time: x86_64: split x86_64/kernel/time.c up
In preparation for the x86_64 generic time conversion, this patch splits out
TSC and HPET related code from arch/x86_64/kernel/time.c into respective
hpet.c and tsc.c files.

john stultz 2d0c87c3bc [PATCH] time: x86_64: hpet_address cleanup
In preparation for supporting generic timekeeping, this patch cleans up
x86-64's use of vxtime.hpet_address, changing it to just hpet_address as is
also used in i386.  This is necessary since the vxtime structure will be going
away.

The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is
happening.  This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and
dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer
completely.  Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false
positives.

Thomas Gleixner d36b49b910 [PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibration
The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases:

1.  The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the
   wrap of the periodic tick.  It happens that a box gets stuck in the
   calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function.

2.  CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results
   in a wrong lapic calibration.  The PIT goes back to normal operation once
   the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode.

Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and
prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux.

Rework the code to address both problems:

- Make the calibration interrupt driven.  This removes the wait_timer_tick
  magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c.  The clockevents framework
  allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the
  calibration.  This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies.  At this point
  of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the
  results are very accurate.

- Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the
  early access function.  When the measured calibration period is outside of
  an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the
  pm timer result.

- Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration
  handler.  Disable lapic timer in case of deviation.

This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global
tick.  This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize
PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer.  The synchronization by waiting for the tick
just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events
drift away due to the different clocks.  Removing the "sync" is just
randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

Thomas Gleixner e9e2cdb412 [PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers
Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the
compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook()

Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast
function for ACPI.

No changes to existing functionality.

Thomas Gleixner d316c57ff6 [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use.  The
clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
related management events.

This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
having to worry about the details of function assignment.  This is also a
preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
architecture code.

Thomas Gleixner 3434933b17 [PATCH] ACPI: fix missing include for UP
apic.h does not get included on UP compiles.  That way the
APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 is not there and UP boxen have no support for timer
broadcasting.  This was never noticed, because the lapic timer is only used
for profiling on UP.

argument.  Provide a compability function for the existing implementations to
call the function with now == jiffies.  (This also solves the racyness of the
original code vs.  jiffies changing during the iteration.)

Thomas Gleixner 1cfd68496e [PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interrupt
When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take
the cascade into account.  The current code has several problems:

 1. it looks into the previous cascade
 2. it ignores a pending cascade
 3. it ignores multiple cascades

Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of
the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is
pending, i.e.  gets executed in the next timer softirq.  When multiple
cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.

Marcelo Tosatti 07190a08ee [PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:

1) Does not support frequency scaling,

2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted.  Furthermore, the Geode
   supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
   interacts with the power management states) is entered.  TSC counting
   during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
   Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).

3) no SMP :)

Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for
verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource
for the highres timers subsystem.

Ingo Molnar 95492e4646 [PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync code
make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and
i386.

The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.

The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.

The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.
