hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and
initializes the timer completely.

Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of
hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism.

<title>time/sched_clock: Broaden sched_clock()'s instrumentation coverage</title>

<content type='text'>
Most of sched_clock()'s implementation is ineligible for instrumentation
due to relying on sched_clock_noinstr().

Split the implementation off into an __always_inline function
__sched_clock(), which is then used by the noinstr and instrumentable
version, to allow more of sched_clock() to be covered by various
instrumentation.

This will allow instrumentation with the various sanitizers (KASAN,
KCSAN, KMSAN, UBSAN). For KCSAN, we know that raw seqcount_latch usage
without annotations will result in false positive reports: tell it that
all of __sched_clock() is "atomic" for the latch reader; later changes
in this series will take care of the writers.

With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.

Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.

As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.

This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

<title>seqlock/latch: Provide raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry()</title>

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:

  do {
    seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&amp;latch-&gt;seq);
    ...
  } while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&amp;latch-&gt;seq, seq));

which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.

This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.

Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

The kernel uses kHz as the unit for clock rates reported between 1MHz
(inclusive) and 4MHz (exclusive), e.g.:

 sched_clock: 64 bits at 1000kHz, resolution 1000ns, wraps every 2199023255500ns

This reduces the amount of data lost due to rounding, but hasn't been
replicated for the kHz range when support was added for proper reporting of
sub-kHz clock rates.  Take the same approach for rates between 1kHz
(inclusive) and 4kHz (exclusive), which makes it consistent.

Since sched_clock_read_begin() and sched_clock_read_retry() are called
by notrace function sched_clock(), they shouldn't be traceable either,
or else ftrace_graph_caller will run into a dead loop on the path
as below (arm for instance):

  ftrace_graph_caller()
    prepare_ftrace_return()
      function_graph_enter()
        ftrace_push_return_trace()
          trace_clock_local()
            sched_clock()
              sched_clock_read_begin/retry()

Since sched_clock_read_begin() and sched_clock_read_retry() are called
by notrace function sched_clock(), they shouldn't be traceable either,
or else ftrace_graph_caller will run into a dead loop on the path
as below (arm for instance):

  ftrace_graph_caller()
    prepare_ftrace_return()
      function_graph_enter()
        ftrace_push_return_trace()
          trace_clock_local()
            sched_clock()
              sched_clock_read_begin/retry()

Fixes: 1b86abc1c645 ("sched_clock: Expose struct clock_read_data")
