In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.
Currently, the tile's timer clockevent device is initialized as follows:
evt->max_delta_ns = clockevent_delta2ns(MAX_TICK, evt);
and
.min_delta_ns = 1000,
The first one translates to a ->max_delta_ticks value of MAX_TICK.
For the latter, note that the clockevent core will superimpose a
minimum of 1us by itself -- setting ->min_delta_ticks to 1 is safe here.
Initialize ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks with these values.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
driver.

clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the

Currently, the s390's CPU timer clockevent device is initialized as
follows:
cd->min_delta_ns = 1;
cd->max_delta_ns = LONG_MAX;
Note that the device's time to cycle conversion factor, i.e.
cd->mult / (2^cd->shift), is approx. equal to 4.
Hence, this would translate to
cd->min_delta_ticks = 4;
cd->max_delta_ticks = 4 * LONG_MAX;
However, a minimum value of 1ns is in the range of noise anyway and the
clockevent core will take care of this by increasing it to 1us or so.
Furthermore, 4*LONG_MAX would overflow the unsigned long argument the
clockevent devices gets programmed with.
Thus, initialize ->min_delta_ticks with 1 and ->max_delta_ticks with
ULONG_MAX.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will

Pull timekeeping changes from John Stultz:
Main changes are the initial steps of Nicoli's work to make the clockevent
timers be corrected for NTP adjustments. Then a few smaller fixes that
I've queued, and adding Stephen Boyd to the maintainers list for
timekeeping.
On systems with a large number of CPUs, running sysrq-<q> can cause
watchdog timeouts. There are two slow sections of code in the sysrq-<q>
path in timer_list.c.
1. print_active_timers() - This function is called by print_cpu() and
contains a slow goto loop. On a machine with hundreds of CPUs, this
loop took approximately 100ms for the first CPU in a NUMA node.
(Subsequent CPUs in the same node ran much quicker.) The total time
to print all of the CPUs is ultimately long enough to trigger the
soft lockup watchdog.
2. print_tickdevice() - This function outputs a large amount of textual
information. This function also took approximately 100ms per CPU.
Since sysrq-<q> is not a performance critical path, there should be no
harm in touching the nmi watchdog in both slow sections above. Touching
it in just one location was insufficient on systems with hundreds of
CPUs as occasional timeouts were still observed during testing.
This issue was observed on an Oracle T7 machine with 128 CPUs, but I
anticipate it may affect other systems with similarly large numbers of
CPUs.

The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock
wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register()
after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap
timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock
already wrapped.
On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than
the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.

and changed afterwards through clockevents_update_freq() only.
For the configuration at registration, we already have
clockevents_config_and_register().
Right now, there are no clockevents_config() users outside of the
clockevents core.
To mitigiate the risk of drivers errorneously reconfiguring their rates
through clockevents_config() *after* device registration, make
clockevents_config() static.
