clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is
only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are
disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources
without taking the clocksource mutex.

The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the
clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu
event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when
the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up.
The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late
boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until
clocksource_done_booting() is called.

The watchdog timer is started after the watchdog clocksource
and at least one watched clocksource have been registered. The
clocksource work element watchdog_work is initialized just
before the clocksource timer is started. This is too late for
the clocksource_mark_unstable call from native_cpu_up. To fix
this use a static initializer for watchdog_work.
This resolves a boot crash reported by multiple people.

Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it:
To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if
necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as
the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs
to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex.
Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held.
native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good
clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex
and the deadlock is complete.
The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog
mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so
it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

Add struct timekeeper to keep the internal values timekeeping.c needs
in regard to the currently selected clock source. This moves the
timekeeping intervals, xtime_nsec and the ntp error value from struct
clocksource to struct timekeeper. The raw_time is removed from the
clocksource as well. It gets treated like xtime as a global variable.
Eventually xtime raw_time should be moved to struct timekeeper.

If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock
and then registered it becomes active even if the system is in one-shot
mode. Move the override check from sysfs_override_clocksource to the
clocksource selection. That fixes the bug and simplifies the code. The
check in clocksource_register for double registration of the same
clocksource is removed without replacement.
To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is
defined that returns the jiffies clocksource. The architecture code
can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource,
e.g. the TOD clock on s390.

Thomas, Andrew and Ingo pointed out that we don't have any safety checks
in the clocksource sysfs entries to make sure sysadmins don't try to
change the clocksource to a non high-res timer capable clocksource (such
as jiffies) when high-res timers (HRT) is enabled. Doing so will likely
hang a system.
Correct this by filtering non HRT clocksources from available_clocksources
and not accepting non HRT clocksources with HRT enabled.

Setup clocksource mult_orig in clocksource_enable().
Clocksource drivers can save power by using keeping the
device clock disabled while the clocksource is unused.
In practice this means that the enable() and disable()
callbacks perform clk_enable() and clk_disable().
The enable() callback may also use clk_get_rate() to get
the clock rate from the clock framework. This information
can then be used to calculate the shift and mult variables.
Currently the mult_orig variable is setup from mult at
registration time only. This is conflicting with the above
case since the clock is disabled and the mult variable is
not yet calculated at the time of registration.
Moving the mult_orig setup code to clocksource_enable()
allows us to both handle the common case with no enable()
callback and the mult-changed-after-enable() case.

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.
The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)
As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounter
The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

The clocksource frequency is represented by
clocksource->mult/2^(clocksource->shift). Currently, when NTP makes
adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult
value.
This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal
mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied.
This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when
switching back and forth between clocksources.
This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig
pair. The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource
adjustments are done only to the mult value.
This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the
groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw
time, which is introduced in a following patch.

lockdep complains about the lock nesting of clocksource and watchdog lock
in the resume path.
Change the resume marker to a bit operation and remove the lock from this
path.

We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.
Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource
drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume
function.
Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

The watchdog implementation excludes low res / non continuous
clocksources from being selected as a watchdog reference
unintentionally.
Allow using jiffies/PIT as a watchdog reference as long as no better
clocksource is available. This is necessary to detect TSC breakage on
systems, which have no pmtimer/hpet.
The main goal of the initial patch (preventing to switch to highres/nohz
when no reliable fallback clocksource is available) is still guaranteed
by the checks in clocksource_watchdog().

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
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.

The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of using
hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification
mechanism. The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles
the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which
needs to be verified.

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k.
Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which
uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we
have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we
cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h,
linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in
a C file as the only simple solution.
