At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock()
it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest. This time
difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock,
and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot.
The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time
to the hardware clock in the ntp code. This patch adds
persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied
in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware
clock.
x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a
+/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time. Other arches, such
as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the
rtc and will see this problem.

The purpose of this option is to allow ARM/etc systems that rely on the
class RTC subsystem to have the same kind of automatic NTP based
synchronization that we have on PC platforms. Today ARM does not
implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class
RTC system.
When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic
rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and
is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads
the RTC at boot.
Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used
first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers
need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for
PPC is included in this patch.
Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

When repeating a UTC time value during a leap second (when the UTC
time should be 23:59:60), the TAI timescale should not stop. The kernel
NTP code increments the TAI offset one second too late. This patch fixes
the issue by incrementing the offset during the leap second itself.

Since commit 7dffa3c673 the ntp
subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond
adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock.
Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern:
CPU 0 CPU 1
do_adjtimex()
spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock);
process_adjtimex_modes(); timer_interrupt()
process_adj_status(); do_timer()
ntp_start_leap_timer(); write_lock(&xtime_lock);
hrtimer_start(); update_wall_time();
hrtimer_reprogram(); ntp_tick_length()
tick_program_event() spin_lock(&ntp_lock);
clockevents_program_event()
ktime_get()
seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock);
This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using
an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond
processing in the second_overflow() function.
The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres
timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary,
(ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ) after the leap second instead of
possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic).
This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

Currently the NTP managed tick_length value is accessed globally,
in preparations for locking cleanups, make sure it is accessed via
a function and mark it as static.

The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET
mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time.
Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set
ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET
which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().
This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check.

The ADJ_SETOFFSET code redundantly checks the range of the nanoseconds
field of the time value. This field is checked again in the subsequent
call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). Also, as is, the check will not
detect whether the number of microseconds is out of range.
Let timekeeping_inject_offset() do the error checking.

All callers of do_timer() are converted to xtime_update(). The only
users of xtime_lock are in kernel/time/. Make both local to
kernel/time/ and remove them from the global header files.

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.
To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.
Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

Clamp update interval to reduce PLL gain with low sampling rate (e.g.
intermittent network connection) to avoid instability.
The clamp roughly corresponds to the loop time constant, it's 8 * poll
interval for SHIFT_PLL 2 and 32 * poll interval for SHIFT_PLL 4. This
gives good results without affecting the gain in normal conditions where
ntpd skips only up to seven consecutive samples.

The time_status conditional was accidentally placed right after we clear
the checked time_status bits, which causes us to take the conditional
every time through. This fixes it by moving the conditional to before we
clear the time_status bits.

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.
