destroy_timer_on_stack() is hardly the right thing for a delayed

If a delayed or deferrable work is on stack we need to tell debug
objects that we are destroying the timer and the work. Otherwise we
leak the tracking object.

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
return get_nohz_timer_target();
#endif
So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

The currently used method adjusting the clocksource to a changing input
frequency does not work on kernels from 3.11 on.
The new approach is to keep the timer frequency as constant as possible.
I.e.
- due to the TTC's prescaler limitations, allow frequency changes
only if the frequency scales by a power of 2
- adjust the counter's divider on the fly when a frequency change
occurs
This limits cpufreq to scale by certain factors only.
But we may keep the time base somewhat constant, so that sleep() & co
keep working as expected, while supporting cpufreq.

Currently we are using two lowest bit of base for internal purpose and
so they both should be zero in the allocated address. The code was
doing the right thing before this patch came in: commit c5f66e99b
(timer: Implement TIMER_IRQSAFE)
Tejun probably forgot to update this piece of code which checks if the
lowest 'n' bits are zero or not and so wasn't updated according to the
new flag. Lets use TIMER_FLAG_MASK in the calculations here.

The __run_timers() function currently steps through the list one jiffy at
a time in order to update the timer wheel. However, if the timer wheel
is empty, no adjustment is needed other than updating ->timer_jiffies.
Therefore, just before we add a timer to an empty timer wheel, we should
mark the timer wheel as being up to date. This marking will reduce (and
perhaps eliminate) the jiffy-stepping that a future __run_timers() call
will need to do in response to some future timer posting or migration.
This commit therefore updates ->timer_jiffies for this case.

When a timer is enqueued or modified on a remote target, the latter is
expected to see and handle this timer on its next tick. However if the
target is idle and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y, the CPU may be sleeping tickless
and the timer may be ignored.
wake_up_nohz_cpu() takes care of that by setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED and
sending an IPI to idle targets so that the tick is reevaluated on the
idle loop through the tick_nohz_idle_*() APIs.
Now this is all performed regardless of the power properties of the
timer. If the timer is deferrable, idle targets don't need to be woken
up. Only the next buzy tick needs to care about it, and no IPI kick
is needed for that to happen.
So lets spare the IPI on idle targets when the timer is deferrable.
Meanwhile we keep the current behaviour on full dynticks targets. We can
spare IPIs on idle full dynticks targets as well but some tricky races
against idle_cpu() must be dealt all along to make sure that the timer
is well handled after idle exit. We can deal with that later since
NO_HZ_FULL already has more important powersaving issues.

On some architectures, in certain CPU deep idle states the local timers stop.
An external clock device is used to wakeup these CPUs. The kernel support for the
wakeup of these CPUs is provided by the tick broadcast framework by using the
external clock device as the wakeup source.
However not all implementations of architectures provide such an external
clock device. This patch includes support in the broadcast framework to handle
the wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle states on such systems by queuing a hrtimer
on one of the CPUs, which is meant to handle the wakeup of CPUs in deep idle states.
This patchset introduces a pseudo clock device which can be registered by the
archs as tick_broadcast_device in the absence of a real external clock
device. Once registered, the broadcast framework will work as is for these
architectures as long as the archs take care of the BROADCAST_ENTER
notification failing for one of the CPUs. This CPU is made the stand by CPU to
handle wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle and it *must not enter deep idle states*.
The CPU with the earliest wakeup is chosen to be this CPU. Hence this way the
stand by CPU dynamically moves around and so does the hrtimer which is queued
to trigger at the next earliest wakeup time. This is consistent with the case where
an external clock device is present. The smp affinity of this clock device is
set to the CPU with the earliest wakeup. This patchset handles the hotplug of
the stand by CPU as well by moving the hrtimer on to the CPU handling the CPU_DEAD
notification.

Some archs set the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag for idle states in which the
local timers stop. The cpuidle_idle_call() currently handles such idle states
by calling into the broadcast framework so as to wakeup CPUs at their next
wakeup event. With the hrtimer mode of broadcast, the BROADCAST_ENTER call
into the broadcast frameowork can fail for archs that do not have an external
clock device to handle wakeups and the CPU in question has thus to be made
the stand by CPU. This patch handles such cases by failing the call into
cpuidle so that the arch can take some default action. The arch will certainly
not enter a similar idle state because a failed cpuidle call will also implicitly
indicate that the broadcast framework has not registered this CPU to be woken up.
Hence we are safe if we fail the cpuidle call.
In the process move the functions that trace idle statistics just before and
after the entry and exit into idle states respectively. In other
scenarios where the call to cpuidle fails, we end up not tracing idle
entry and exit since a decision on an idle state could not be taken. Similarly
when the call to broadcast framework fails, we skip tracing idle statistics
because we are in no further position to take a decision on an alternative
idle state to enter into.

The broadcast framework can potentially be made use of by archs which do not have an
external clock device as well. Then, it is required that one of the CPUs need
to handle the broadcasting of wakeup IPIs to the CPUs in deep idle. As a
result its local timers should remain functional all the time. For such
a CPU, the BROADCAST_ENTER notification has to fail indicating that its clock
device cannot be shutdown. To make way for this support, change the return
type of tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() and hence clockevents_notify() to
indicate such scenarios.

"The three major changes in this patchset is a implementation for
flexible userspace memory maps, cache-flushing fixes (again), and a
long-discussed ABI change to make EWOULDBLOCK the same value as

parisc has been the only platform where we had EWOULDBLOCK != EAGAIN
to keep HP-UX compatibility. Since we will probably never implement
full HP-UX support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it
easier for us with Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked
for both values. We don't expect major fall-outs because of this
change, and if we face some, we will simply rebuild the necessary
applications in the debian archives"

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the
directory nodes or bitmaps. We can't switch to 2048-byte block size
because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors.
Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc,
copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them
back if they were modified.
In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated
in the pagecache. That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are
stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space. So, we don't
need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there.
This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers. It checks
if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not,
it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
space using statfs. This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
statfs it returns the value instantly.
New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
times in minutes.
This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

On Linux, only parisc uses a different value for EWOULDBLOCK which
causes a lot of troubles for applications not checking for both values.
Since the hpux compat is long dead, make EWOULDBLOCK behave the same as
all other architectures.

The stat.h header file is exported to userspace. Some userspace
applications failed to compile due to missing/unknown types, so we
better convert it to use native types only (like it's done on other
architectures too).
