We are going to move scheduler ABI details to &lt;uapi/linux/sched/types.h&gt;,
which will be used from a number of .c files.

Create empty placeholder header that maps to &lt;linux/types.h&gt;.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Use the new tick_suspend/resume_local() and get rid of the
homebrewn implementation of these in the ARM bL switcher.  The
check for the cpumask is completely pointless.  There is no harm
to suspend a per cpu tick device unconditionally.  If that's a
real issue then we fix it proper at the core level and not with
some completely undocumented hacks in some random core code.

Move the tick internals to the core code, now that this nuisance
is gone.

<title>clockevents: Manage device's state separately for the core</title>

<id>77e32c89a7117614ab3d66d20c1088de721abfaa</id>
<content type='text'>
'enum clock_event_mode' is used for two purposes today:

 - to pass mode to the driver of clockevent device::set_mode().

 - for managing state of the device for clockevents core.

For supporting new modes/states we have moved away from the
legacy set_mode() callback to new per-mode/state callbacks. New
modes/states shouldn't be exposed to the legacy (now OBSOLOTE)
callbacks and so we shouldn't add new states to 'enum
clock_event_mode'.

Lets have separate enums for the two use cases mentioned above.
Keep using the earlier enum for legacy set_mode() callback and
mark it OBSOLETE. And add another enum to clearly specify the
possible states of a clockevent device.

This also renames the newly added per-mode callbacks to reflect
state changes.

We haven't got rid of 'mode' member of 'struct
clock_event_device' as it is used by some of the clockevent
drivers and it would automatically die down once we migrate
those drivers to the new interface. It ('mode') is only updated
now for the drivers using the legacy interface.

The content of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online  is still 1 for those
CPUs that the switcher has removed even though the global state in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online is updated correctly.

It turns out that commit 0902a9044f ("Driver core: Use generic
offline/online for CPU offline/online") has changed the way those files
retrieve their content by relying on on the generic attribute handling
code.  The switcher, by calling cpu_down() directly, bypasses this
handling and the attribute value doesn't get updated.

Fix this by calling device_offline()/device_online() instead.

The switcher should not depend on MAX_CLUSTER to determine ifit should
be activated or not. In a multiplatform kernel binary it is possible to
have dual-cluster and quad-cluster platforms configured in. In that case
MAX_CLUSTER which is a build time limit should be 4 and that shouldn't
prevent the switcher from working if the kernel is booted on a b.L
dual-cluster system.

In bL_switcher_halve_cpus() we already have a runtime validation check
to make sure we're dealing with only two clusters, so booting on a quad
cluster system will be caught and switcher activation aborted.

However, the b.L switcher must ensure the MCPM layer is initialized on
the booted hardware before doing anything.  The mcpm_is_available()
function is added to that effect.

When the switcher is active, there is no straightforward way to
figure out which logical CPU a given physical CPU maps to.

This patch provides a function
bL_switcher_get_logical_index(mpidr), which is analogous to
get_logical_index().

This function returns the logical CPU on which the specified
physical CPU is grouped (or -EINVAL if unknown).
If the switcher is inactive or not present, -EUNATCH is returned instead.
