commit 0d6bd9953f739dad96d9a0de65383e479ab4e10d upstream.

Since commit 31ade30692dc9680bfc95700d794818fa3f754ac, timekeeping_init()
checks for presence of persistent clock by attempting to read a non-zero
time value. This is an issue on platforms where persistent_clock (instead
is implemented as a free-running counter (instead of an RTC) starting
from zero on each boot and running during suspend. Examples are some ARM
platforms (e.g. PandaBoard).

An attempt to read such a clock during timekeeping_init() may return zero
value and falsely declare persistent clock as missing. Additionally, in
the above case suspend times may be accounted twice (once from
timekeeping_resume() and once from rtc_resume()), resulting in a gradual
drift of system time.

This patch does a run-time correction of the issue by doing the same check
during timekeeping_suspend().

A better long-term solution would have to return error when trying to read
non-existing clock and zero when trying to read an uninitialized clock, but
that would require changing all persistent_clock implementations.

This patch addresses the immediate breakage, for now.

<title>tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down</title>

commit 4b0c0f294f60abcdd20994a8341a95c8ac5eeb96 upstream.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on
CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned
up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick
device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data
and dereferences a NULL pointer.

Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

commit b4f711ee03d28f776fd2324fd0bd999cc428e4d2 upstream.

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.

In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.

While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

<title>clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdown</title>

commit 6f7a05d7018de222e40ca003721037a530979974 upstream.

Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the
system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer
gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot
cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which
fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler
is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due
to highres mode not being active.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333

There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET
code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event
handler == NULL for a similar reason.

We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the
previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in
tick_setup_new_device().

The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(),
but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent
clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix
it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

<title>clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timers</title>

Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.

This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
preventing this problem.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms.  This is dominated
  largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
  others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.

  The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
  where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
  specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms.  This is dominated
  largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
  others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.

  The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
  where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
  specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device
  tree as we do for normal device drivers.  The clocksource changes
  basically touch every single platform in the process.

  We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
  with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being

  headers to architecture independent code any more.

Pull timer changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes:

   - ntp: Add CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC: a generic RTC driver facility
     complementing the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS, which uses NTP to
     keep the hardware clock updated.

   - posix-timers: Fix clock_adjtime to always return timex data on
     success.  This is changing the ABI, but no breakage was expected
     and found - caution is warranted nevertheless.

   - platform persistent clock improvements/cleanups.

   - clockevents: refactor timer broadcast handling to be more generic
     and less duplicated with matching architecture code (mostly ARM
     motivated.)

   - various fixes and cleanups"

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  timers/x86/hpet: Use HPET_COUNTER to specify the hpet counter in vread_hpet()
  posix-cpu-timers: Fix nanosleep task_struct leak
  clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOP
  time, Fix setting of hardware clock in NTP code
  hrtimer: Prevent hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram race
  clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function
  clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast receiver
  timekeeping: Switch HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK to ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK
  x86/time/rtc: Don't print extended CMOS year when reading RTC
  x86: Select HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK on x86
  timekeeping: Add CONFIG_HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK option
  rtc: Skip the suspend/resume handling if persistent clock exist
  timekeeping: Add persistent_clock_exist flag
  posix-timers: Fix clock_adjtime to always return timex data on success
  Round the calculated scale factor in set_cyc2ns_scale()

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes:

   - scheduler side full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed

  - sched_rr_get_interval() ABI fix/change.  We think this detail is not
    used by apps (so it's not an ABI in practice), but lets keep it
    under observation.
