This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).
The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time.
The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.
Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator. With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

The timer code always calls the clock_event_device set_net_event and
set_mode methods with interrupts disabled, so no need to use
spin_lock_irqsave / spin_unlock_irqrestore for those.

This patch adds IDs for new Au1200 variants: Au1210 and Au1250.
They are essentially identical to the Au1200 except for the Au1210
which has a different SoC-ID in the PRId register [bits 31:24].
The Au1250 is a "Au1200 V0.2".

This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
unchanged.
Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).
Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.
Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
run time.
Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
a branch delay slot.

This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds. They include
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.
Changes included are as follows:
1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.
2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also
incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as
horribly intrusive for little gain).
3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem
is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in
time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might
also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it. On the
other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to
have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).
4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be
queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code
like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.
5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.
Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards). The -mfix-r4000
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.
The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.
In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

The __weak definition of plat_time_init was only ever meant to be a
migration helper to keep platforms that don't have a plat_time_init
compiling. A few greps says that all platforms now supply their own
plat_time_init() so the weak definition is no longer needed. So I
instead delete it.
