<content type='text'>
Since commit d689fe222 (NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz
enabled) the tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() function returns because it
checks for the tick_nohz_active flag. This can't be set, because the
function itself sets it.

Undo the change in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz().

<title>tick-sched: Don't call update_wall_time() when delta is lesser than tick_period</title>

<content type='text'>
In tick_do_update_jiffies64() we are processing ticks only if delta is
greater than tick_period. This is what we are supposed to do here and
it broke a bit with this patch:

commit 47a1b796 (tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the
jiffies lock)

With above patch, we might end up calling update_wall_time() even if
delta is found to be smaller that tick_period. Fix this by returning
when the delta is less than tick period.

tick_check_replacement() returns if a replacement of clock_event_device is
possible or not. It does this as the first check:

	if (tick_check_percpu(curdev, newdev, smp_processor_id()))
		return false;

Thats wrong. tick_check_percpu() returns true when the device is
useable. Check for false instead.

To increase compiler portability there is &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes
with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.

<title>time: Revert to calling clock_was_set_delayed() while in irq context</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 47a1b796306356f35 ("tick/timekeeping: Call
update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock"), we moved to calling
clock_was_set() due to the fact that we were no longer holding
the timekeeping or jiffies lock.

However, there is still the problem that clock_was_set()
triggers an IPI, which cannot be done from the timer's hard irq
context, and will generate WARN_ON warnings.

Apparently in my earlier testing, I'm guessing I didn't bump the
dmesg log level, so I somehow missed the WARN_ONs.

Thus we need to revert back to calling clock_was_set_delayed().

tick_handle_periodic() is calling ktime_add() at two places, first before the
infinite loop and then at the end of infinite loop. We can rearrange code a bit
to fix code duplication here.

It looks quite simple and shouldn't break anything, I guess :)

One of the comments in tick_handle_periodic() had 'when' instead of 'which' (My
guess :)). Fix it.

Also fix spelling mistake in 'Possible'.

Include appropriate header file kernel/time/timekeeping_internal.h in
kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c because it has prototype declaration of
function defined in kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c.

This eliminates the following warning in
kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c:
kernel/time/timekeeping_debug.c:68:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘tk_debug_account_sleep_time’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
