<content type='text'>
It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns()
was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle
negative values.

And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize
ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters.
See the following bugzilla for details:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353

This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking
and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if
appropriate after the division, it also changes the return
type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected.

Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would
cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers
is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution
this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both
32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure
no such use cases creep in.

[ tglx: Hand an u64 to do_div() to avoid the compiler warning ]

<title>ktime: Optimize ktime_divns for constant divisors</title>

At least on ARM, do_div() is optimized to turn constant divisors into
an inline multiplication by the reciprocal value at compile time.
However this optimization is missed entirely whenever ktime_divns() is
used and the slow out-of-line division code is used all the time.

Let ktime_divns() use do_div() inline whenever the divisor is constant
and small enough.  This will make things like ktime_to_us() and
ktime_to_ms() much faster.

difference in millisecond, as often used in some driver code, e.g.

The non-scalar ktime_t implementation is basically a timespec
which has to be changed to support dates past 2038 on 32bit
systems.

This patch removes the non-scalar ktime_t implementation, forcing
the scalar s64 nanosecond version on all architectures.

This may have additional performance overhead on some 32bit
systems when converting between ktime_t and timespec structures,
however the majority of 32bit systems (arm and i386) were already
using scalar ktime_t, so no performance regressions will be seen
on those platforms.

On affected platforms, I'm open to finding optimizations, including
avoiding converting to timespecs where possible.

[ tglx: We can now cleanup the ktime_t.tv64 mess, but thats a
  different issue and we can throw a coccinelle script at it ]
