As suggested by Roman Zippel, change clocksource functions to use
clocksource_xyz rather then xyz_clocksource to avoid polluting the

Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc).
With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping
code should be complete.
The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.

Remove the old timers/timer_opts infrastructure which has been disabled. It
is a fairly straightforward set of deletions
Note that this does not provide any i386 clocksources, so you will only have
the jiffies clocksource. To get full replacements for the code being removed
here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will be needed.

This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It
enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch
specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code.
While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch
does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will
be available. To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the
timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will needed.

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC
initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
will be removed) that we want to preserve.
The code also introduces the following functionality:
o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency
o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
usability
o minor cleanups to calibration math.
This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.

John's about to nuke x86's monotonic clock without grepping for it first. The
patch lamely borrows the ppc64 code for x86.
hangcheck-timer shouldn't be doing it this way
a) HAVE_MONOTONIC should be CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and it should be defined
in arch/xxx/Kconfig.
b) That ifdef tangle shouldn't be in hangcheck-timer.c. It should be using
arch-provided helper functions, which CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK-enabling
architectures implement in arch/something.c

Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the
clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource
abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of
late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.
This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.
The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own
interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the
blame to me.

Change the current_tick_length() function so it takes an argument which
specifies how much precision to return in shifted nanoseconds. This provides
a simple way to convert between NTPs internal nanoseconds shifted by
(SHIFT_SCALE - 10) to other shifted nanosecond units that are used by the
clocksource abstraction.

Modify the update_wall_time function so it increments time using the
clocksource abstraction instead of jiffies. Since the only clocksource driver
currently provided is the jiffies clocksource, this should result in no
functional change. Additionally, a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume
function has been added to initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping
state.

This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a
driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This
code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for
registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources.
Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common
denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.

This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number
Generator support by a fully generic RNG API.
This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this
patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG
available now.
Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap"
devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old
patches by Deepak Saxena.
The old x86-rng driver has beed split.
The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through
/sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use
cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

Add a /proc/<pid>/attr/keycreate entry that stores the appropriate context for
newly-created keys. Modify the selinux_key_alloc hook to make use of the new
entry. Update the flask headers to include a new "setkeycreate" permission
for processes. Update the flask headers to include a new "create" permission
for keys. Use the create permission to restrict which SIDs each task can
assign to newly-created keys. Add a new parameter to the security hook
"security_key_alloc" to indicate whether it is being invoked by the kernel, or
from userspace. If it is being invoked by the kernel, the security hook
should never fail. Update the documentation to reflect these changes.
