Currently sched_clock(), a very hot code path, is not optimized
to minimise its cache profile. In particular:
1. cd is not ____cacheline_aligned,
2. struct clock_data does not distinguish between hotpath and
coldpath data, reducing locality of reference in the hotpath,
3. Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked
__read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a
cache line with cd).
This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath
data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned
to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line.

Currently the scope of the raw_write_seqcount_begin/end() in
sched_clock_register() far exceeds the scope of the read section
in sched_clock(). This gives the impression of safety during
cursory review but achieves little.
Note that this is likely to be a latent issue at present because
sched_clock_register() is typically called before we enable
interrupts, however the issue does risk bugs being needlessly
introduced as the code evolves.
This patch fixes the problem by increasing the scope of the read
locking performed by sched_clock() to cover all data modified by
sched_clock_register.
We also improve clarity by moving writes to struct clock_data
that do not impact sched_clock() outside of the critical
section.

It was suggested that the underflow/overflow protection
should probably throw some sort of warning out, rather
than just silently fixing the issue.
So this patch adds some warnings here. The flag variables
used are not protected by locks, but since we can't print
from the reading functions, just being able to say we
saw an issue in the update interval is useful enough,
and can be slightly racy without real consequence.
The big complication is that we're only under a read
seqlock, so the data could shift under us during
our calculation to see if there was a problem. This
patch avoids this issue by nesting another seqlock
which allows us to snapshot the just required values
atomically. So we shouldn't see false positives.
I also added some basic rate-limiting here, since
on one build machine w/ skewed TSCs it was fairly
noisy at bootup.

When calculating the current delta since the last tick, we
currently have no hard protections to prevent a multiplication
overflow from occuring.
This patch introduces infrastructure to allow a cap that
limits the clocksource read delta value to the 'max_cycles' value,
which is where an overflow would occur.
Since this is in the hotpath, it adds the extra checking under
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING=y.
There was some concern that capping time like this could cause
problems as we may stop expiring timers, which could go circular
if the timer that triggers time accumulation were mis-scheduled
too far in the future, which would cause time to stop.
However, since the mult overflow would result in a smaller time
value, we would effectively have the same problem there.

Recently there's been requests for better sanity
checking in the time code, so that it's more clear
when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues
could manifest in a large number of strange ways in
various subsystems.
Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to
add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new
warnings:
1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles'
overflow point,
2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's
'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the
overflow point.
This extra infrastructure is conditional on
a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also
added in this patch - default off.
Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified
lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

[ Improved the changelog and the messages a bit. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The clocksource logic has a number of places where we try to
include a safety margin. Most of these are 12% safety margins,
but they are inconsistently applied and sometimes are applied
on top of each other.
Additionally, in the previous patch, we corrected an issue
where we unintentionally in effect created a 50% safety margin,
which these 12.5% margins where then added to.
So to simplify the logic here, this patch removes the various
12.5% margins, and consolidates adding the margin in one place:
clocks_calc_max_nsecs().
Additionally, Linus prefers a 50% safety margin, as it allows
bad clock values to be more easily caught. This should really
have no net effect, due to the corrected issue earlier which
caused greater then 50% margins to be used w/o issue.

locking/rtmutex: Set state back to running on error
The "usual" path is:
- rt_mutex_slowlock()
- set_current_state()
- task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0)
- __rt_mutex_slowlock()
- sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
- back to caller.
In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return
-EDEADLK we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I
assume this is intended. Without this change after ww_mutex
using rt_mutex the selftest passes but later I get plenty of:

- a number of cleanups.
- preliminary support for Cavium's Octeon 3 SOCs which feature up to
48 MIPS64 R3 cores with FPU and hardware virtualization.
- support for MIPS R6 processors.
Revision 6 of the MIPS architecture is a major revision of the MIPS
architecture which does away with many of original sins of the
architecture such as branch delay slots. This and other changes in
R6 require major changes throughout the entire MIPS core
architecture code and make up for the lion share of this pull
request.
- finally some preparatory work for eXtendend Physical Address

space on 32 bit processors"
