update_vsyscall() did not provide the wall_to_monotoinc offset,
so arch specific implementations tend to reference wall_to_monotonic
directly. This limits future cleanups in the timekeeping core, so
this patch fixes the update_vsyscall interface to provide
wall_to_monotonic, allowing wall_to_monotonic to be made static
as planned in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to
describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires
careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits.
Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much
easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that
function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length
assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently.
So this patch simplifies the registration process by having
clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration
function taking care of setting mult/shift.
This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource
driver.
Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs
longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can
keep track of the assumptions being made.

Add a clocksource suspend callback. This callback can be used by the
clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend
activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev
driver.
One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver
that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource
too early.
With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the
clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm
callbacks unused.

Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.
This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs, 00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf
Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a
single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the
worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of
the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of
time.
Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the
current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the
clock source is registered.

MIPS has two functions to calculcate the mult/shift factors for clock
sources and clock events at run time. ARM needs such functions as
well.
Implement a function which calculates the mult/shift factors based on
the frequencies to which and from which is converted. The function
also has a parameter to specify the minimum conversion range in
seconds. This range is guaranteed not to produce a 64bit overflow when
a value is multiplied with the calculated mult factor. The larger the
conversion range the less becomes the conversion accuracy.
Provide two inline wrappers which handle clock events and clock
sources. For clock events the "from" frequency is nano seconds per
second which corresponds to 1GHz and "to" is the device frequency. For
clock sources "from" is the device frequency and "to" is nano seconds
per second.

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.

The clocksource structure has two multipliers, the unmodified multiplier
clock->mult_orig and the NTP corrected multiplier clock->mult. The NTP
multiplier is misplaced in the struct clocksource, this is private
information of the timekeeping code. Add the mult field to the struct
timekeeper to contain the NTP corrected value, keep the unmodifed
multiplier in clock->mult and remove clock->mult_orig.

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.

The three inline functions clocksource_read, clocksource_enable and
clocksource_disable are simple wrappers of an indirect call plus the
copy from and to the mult_orig value. The functions are exclusively
used by the timekeeping code which has intimate knowledge of the
clocksource anyway. Therefore remove the inline functions. No
functional change.

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.
