Both CONTEXT_TRACKING and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE are currently defined
in kernel/rcu/kconfig, which might have made sense at some point, but
no longer does given that RCU refers to neither of these Kconfig options.

Therefore move them to kernel/time/Kconfig, where the rest of the
NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig options live.

Architectures have extra archdata in the clocksource, e.g. for VDSO
support. There are no sanity checks or general initializations for this
available. Add support for that.

<title>sched/isolation: Eliminate NO_HZ_FULL_ALL</title>

Commit 6f1982fedd59 ("sched/isolation: Handle the nohz_full= parameter")
broke CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y kernels.  This breakage is due to the code
under CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL failing to invoke the shiny new housekeeping
functions.  This means that rcutorture scenario TREE04 now emits RCU CPU
stall warnings due to the RCU grace-period kthreads not being awakened
at a time of their choosing, or perhaps even not at all:

[   27.731422] rcu_bh kthread starved for 21001 jiffies! g18446744073709551369 c18446744073709551368 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) -&gt;state=0x402 -&gt;cpu=3

Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken,
I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture.
This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates
rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

<title>sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION</title>

<id>bf29cb238dc0656e6564b6a94bb82e11d2129437</id>
<content type='text'>
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL doesn't make sense without CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. In
fact enabling the first without the second is a regression as nohz_full=
boot parameter gets silently ignored.

Besides this unnatural combination hangs RCU gp kthread when running
rcutorture for reasons that are not yet fully understood:

	rcu_preempt kthread starved for 9974 jiffies! g4294967208
	+c4294967207 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) -&gt;state=0x402 -&gt;cpu=0
	rcu_preempt     I 7464     8      2 0x80000000
	Call Trace:
		__schedule+0x493/0x620
		schedule+0x24/0x40
		schedule_timeout+0x330/0x3b0
		? preempt_count_sub+0xea/0x140
		? collect_expired_timers+0xb0/0xb0
		rcu_gp_kthread+0x6bf/0xef0

This commit therefore makes NO_HZ_FULL select CPU_ISOLATION, which
prevents all these bad behaviours.

As of d4d1fc61eb38f (ia64: Update fsyscall gettime to use modern
vsyscall_update)the last user of CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
have been updated, the legacy support for old-style vsyscall
implementations can be removed from the timekeeping code.

(Thanks again to Tony Luck for helping remove the last user!)

The NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE full-system-idle capability was added in 2013
by commit 0edd1b1784cb ("nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine"),
but has not been used.  This commit therefore removes it.

If it turns out to be needed later, this commit can always be reverted.

The RCU_USER_QS Kconfig parameter is now just a synonym for NO_HZ_FULL,
so this commit eliminates RCU_USER_QS, replacing all uses with NO_HZ_FULL.

This option was for simpler migration to the clock events code.
Most architectures have been converted and the option has been
disfunctional as a standalone option for quite some time. Remove
it.

<title>clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core code</title>

The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to
provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and
monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core.

We can't do the TSC specific

    if (now &lt; cycle_last)
       	    now = cycle_last;

for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has
CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if
now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative
result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0
for that case.

Implement and enable it for x86
