Guenter reported boot stalls on a emulated ARM 32-bit platform, which has a
24-bit wide clocksource.

It turns out that the calculated maximal idle time, which limits idle
sleeps to prevent clocksource wrap arounds, is close to the point where the
negative motion detection triggers.

  max_idle_ns:                    597268854 ns
  negative motion tripping point: 671088640 ns

If the idle wakeup is delayed beyond that point, the clocksource
advances far enough to trigger the negative motion detection. This
prevents the clock to advance and in the worst case the system stalls
completely if the consecutive sleeps based on the stale clock are
delayed as well.

Cure this by calculating a more robust cut-off value for negative motion,
which covers 87.5% of the actual clocksource counter width. Compare the
delta against this value to catch negative motion. This is specifically for
clock sources with a small counter width as their wrap around time is close
to the half counter width. For clock sources with wide counters this is not
a problem because the maximum idle time is far from the half counter width
due to the math overflow protection constraints.

For the case at hand this results in a tripping point of 1174405120ns.

Note, that this cannot prevent issues when the delay exceeds the 87.5%
margin, but that's not different from the previous unchecked version which
allowed arbitrary time jumps.

Systems with small counter width are prone to invalid results, but this
problem is unlikely to be seen on real hardware. If such a system
completely stalls for more than half a second, then there are other more
urgent problems than the counter wrapping around.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:

   - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers

     posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
     signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
     delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.

     This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
     intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
     for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
     the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
     life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
     time rules.

     Cure this by:

       - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
         life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
         the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
         always valid container_of() now.

       - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.

       - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
         signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.

       - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
         signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
         delivery code to rearm the timer.

     This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
     are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
     scenarios finally succeed.

   - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping

     This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
     stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
     attributes are actively observed via getattr().

     These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
     the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure

       - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file

       - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
         functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
         defines.

       - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
         timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
         Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
         to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.

       - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
         and fix up stale documentation links all over the place

       - Fixup a few usage sites

   - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
     clocks

     A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
     seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
     considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
     that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
     various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).

     The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
     descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
     They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
     the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.

     As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
     provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.

     The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
     infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
     kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.

     Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
     converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
     which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
     static variables.

     This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
     for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.

   - Consolidate hrtimer initialization

     hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
     seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.

     That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
     straight forward than it should be.

     Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
     core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
     interfaces over.

     The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
     already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.

   - Drivers:

       - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
         cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.

         Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
         clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
         other clusters.

       - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Since 135225a363ae timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() handles large offsets which
would lead to 64bit multiplication overflows correctly. It's also protected
against negative motion of the clocksource unconditionally, which was
exclusive to x86 before.

timekeeping_advance() handles large offsets already correctly.

That means the value of CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING which analyzed these cases
is very close to zero. Remove all of it.

<title>timekeeping: Rework do_adjtimex() to use shadow_timekeeper</title>

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.

Convert do_adjtimex() to use this scheme and take the opportunity to use a
scoped_guard() for locking.

That requires to have a separate function for updating the leap state so
that the update is protected by the sequence count. This also brings the
timekeeper and the shadow timekeeper in sync for this state, which was not
the case so far. That's not a correctness problem as the state is only used
at the read sides which use the real timekeeper, but it's inconsistent
nevertheless.

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.

While the sequence count held time is not relevant for the resume path as
there is no concurrency, there is no reason to have this function
different than all the other update sites.

Convert timekeeping_inject_offset() to use this scheme and cleanup the
variable declarations while at it.

As halt_fast_timekeeper() does not need protection sequence counter, it is
no problem to move it with this change outside of the sequence counter
protected area. But it still needs to be executed while holding the lock.
