Martin pointed out that commit 6ea41d2529 (clocksource: Call
clocksource_change_rating() outside of watchdog_lock) has a
theoretical reference count problem. The calls to
clocksource_change_rating() are now done outside of the clocksource
mutex and outside of the watchdog lock. A concurrent
clocksource_unregister() could remove the clock.
Split out the code which changes the rating from
clocksource_change_rating() into __clocksource_change_rating().
Protect the clocksource_watchdog_work() code sequence with the
clocksource_mutex() and call __clocksource_change_rating().

If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock

To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is

can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource,
e.g. the TOD clock on s390.

change_clocksource resets the cycle_last value to zero then sets it to
a value read from the clocksource. The reset to zero is required only
for the TSC clocksource to make the read_tsc function work after a
resume. The reason is that the TSC read function uses cycle_last to
detect backwards going TSCs. In the resume case cycle_last contains
the TSC value from the last update before the suspend. On resume the
TSC starts counting from 0 again and would trip over the cycle_last
comparison.
This is subtle and surprising. Move the reset to a resume function in

The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:
- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
timers.
- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.
The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.
In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.
Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.

The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial

0) | getnstimeofday() {
0) | read_tod_clock() {

0) | set_normalized_timespec() {
0) 0.602 us | }
0) 4.375 us | }
0) 5.523 us | }
Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of
unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second
value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second
delta from the clock source.
ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls
clocksource_read:
0) | ktime_get() {
0) | read_tod_clock() {
0) 0.610 us | }
0) 1.977 us | }
It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing
to a nano second value.
ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.

Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems.
The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.
Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current
idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs
are not migrated.
While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating
a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the
hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the
hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu.
So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the

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.

tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed
The 'time_adj' local variable is named in a very confusing
way because it almost shadows the 'time_adjust' global
variable - which is used in this same function.
Rename it to 'delta' - to make them stand apart more clearly.

Impact: micro-optimization
Convert the (internal) ntp_tick_adj value we store from unscaled
units to scaled units. This is a constant that we never modify,
so scaling it up once during bootup is enough - we dont have to
do it for every adjustment step.

Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed
Further simplify do_adjtimex():
- introduce the ntp_start_leap_timer() helper function
- eliminate the goto adj_done complication
