We want to be able to control the default "rounding" that is used by
select() and poll() and friends. This is a per process property
(so that we can have a "nice" like program to start certain programs with
a looser or stricter rounding) that can be set/get via a prctl().
For this purpose, a field called "timer_slack_ns" is added to the task
struct. In addition, a field called "default_timer_slack"ns" is added
so that tasks easily can temporarily to a more/less accurate slack and then
back to the default.
The default value of the slack is set to 50 usec; this is significantly less
than 2.6.27's average select() and poll() timing error but still allows
the kernel to group timers somewhat to preserve power behavior. Applications
and admins can override this via the prctl()

this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point
the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.

To catch code that still touches the "expires" memory directly, rename it
to have the compiler complain rather than get nasty, hard to explain,
runtime behavior
Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
In order to be able to turn hrtimers into range based, we need to provide
accessor functions for getting to the "expires" ktime_t member of the
struct hrtimer.
This patch adds a set of accessors for this purpose:
* hrtimer_set_expires
* hrtimer_set_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_add_expires
* hrtimer_add_expires_ns
* hrtimer_get_expires
* hrtimer_get_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_get_expires_ns
* hrtimer_expires_remaining
* hrtimer_start_expires
No users of these new accessors are added yet; these follow in later patches.
Hopefully this patch can even go into 2.6.27-rc so that the conversions will
not have a bottleneck in -next

With lots of help, input and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner
This patch switches select() and poll() over to hrtimers.
The core of the patch is replacing the "s64 timeout" with a
"struct timespec end_time" in all the plumbing.
But most of the diffstat comes from using the just introduced helpers:
poll_select_set_timeout
poll_select_copy_remaining
timespec_add_safe
which make manipulating the timespec easier and less error-prone.

with hrtimer poll/select, the signal restart data no longer is a single
long representing a jiffies count, but it becomes a second/nanosecond pair
that also needs to encode if there was a timeout at all or not.

This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll:
poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond
pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time.
This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various,
common, sanity checks.
poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining
time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in
both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).

For the select() rework, it's important to be able to add timespec
structures in an overflow-safe manner.
This patch adds a timespec_add_safe() function for this which is similar in
operation to ktime_add_safe(), but works on a struct timespec.

I found we can no longer set limit to 0 with 2.6.27-rcX:
# mount -t cgroup -omemory xxx /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/0
# echo 0 > /mnt/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
It turned out 'limit' can't be set to 'usage', which is wrong IMO.

trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to
get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts
are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces
a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and
additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.

Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bd. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem
TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.

There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.
The problematic path seems to be
* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
* clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
* old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
* tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
* which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.
Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.
This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.

Currently, there are two different fields in the
mv643xx_eth_platform_data struct that together describe the PHY
address -- one field (phy_addr) has the address of the PHY, but if
that address is zero, a second field (force_phy_addr) needs to be
set to distinguish the actual address zero from a zero due to not
having filled in the PHY address explicitly (which should mean
'use the default PHY address').
If we are a bit smarter about the encoding of the phy_addr field,
we can avoid the need for a second field -- this patch does that.
