<content type='text'>
A recent conflict resolution has left tick_resume() in
tick_unfreeze() which leads to an unbalanced execution of
tick_resume_broadcast() every time that function runs.

Fix that by replacing the tick_resume() in tick_unfreeze()
with tick_resume_local() as appropriate.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the
clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit
calls instead of this monstrosity.

Split out the cleanup function for a dead cpu and invoke it
directly from the cpu down code. Make it conditional on
CPU_HOTPLUG as well.

Temporary change, will be refined in the future.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the
clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit
calls instead of this monstrosity.

Split out the broadcast oneshot control into a separate function
and provide inline helpers. Switch clockevents_notify() over.
This will go away once all callers are converted.

This also gets rid of the nested locking of clockevents_lock and
broadcast_lock. The broadcast oneshot control functions do not
require clockevents_lock. Only the managing functions
(setup/shutdown/suspend/resume of the broadcast device require
clockevents_lock.

clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit
calls instead of this monstrosity.

Split out the broadcast control into a separate function and
provide inline helpers. Switch clockevents_notify() over. This
will go away once all callers are converted.

This also gets rid of the nested locking of clockevents_lock and
broadcast_lock. The broadcast control functions do not require
clockevents_lock. Only the managing functions
(setup/shutdown/suspend/resume of the broadcast device require
clockevents_lock.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the
clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit
calls instead of this monstrosity.

Split out the broadcast control into a separate function and
provide inline helpers. Switch clockevents_notify() over. This
will go away once all callers are converted.
