When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the
verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite
small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.
We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.
The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.
Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Use para_fill instead of directly setting the APIC ops to the result of the
vmi_get_function call - this allows one to implement a VMI ROM without
implementing APIC functions, just using the native APIC functions.
While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have
been done. Basically, we should never assume that the ROM implements a
specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native
implementation.
This is critical for future compatibility.

The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code. The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:
time_init :
late_time_init = hpet_time_init;
late_time_init -> hpet_time_init:
setup_pit_timer (BAD)
do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h)
time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h)
time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c)
If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table. The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.
But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook. This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.
So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware. Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed
through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts
with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or
keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. Or floppy drives, but only
when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't
sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or
IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.
This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).
To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.
It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.

Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code.
1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm
armed. Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate
than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately. This
fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate
than the non-idle case.
2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
acquisition. Drop this. We don't need to check for wallclock time at
every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.
3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation. This is useful as a last
minute workaround, or testing measure.
4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured
in as well.

When removing set_native_irq I missed the fact that it was
called in a couple of places that were compiled even when
SMP support is disabled. And since the irq_desc[].affinity
field only exists in SMP things broke.
Thanks to Simon Arlott <simon@arlott.org> for spotting this.
There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one
is to just remove the assignments. The affinity field is only
used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386
or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value,
so skipping the assignment is safe. The assignment that
is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before
the user explicitly sets it. The irq_desc array initializes
this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to
a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set.

The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases:
1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the
wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the
calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function.
2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results
in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once
the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode.
Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and
prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux.
Rework the code to address both problems:
- Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick
magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework
allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the
calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point
of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the
results are very accurate.
- Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the
early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of
an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the
pm timer result.
- Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration
handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation.
This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global
tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize
PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick
just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events
drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just
randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since:
1) Does not support frequency scaling,
2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode
supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which
interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting
during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller
Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!).
3) no SMP :)
