2eb5f31bc4 um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

71b5280b79 um/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface
Migrate um driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

c0b79a90b1 um: irq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED
Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled
and we even check and yell when an interrupt handler
returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a:
genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).

So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

cfd28f6695 uml: fix bad NTP interaction with clock
UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP
decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down.
Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond
multiplier, which is 1.  Decrementing that gives you 0 and time is
stopped.

This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier
of 1000.

d2753a6d19 uml: tickless support
Enable tickless support.

CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT and CONFIG_NO_HZ are enabled.

itimer_clockevent gets CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT and an implementation of
.set_next_event.

CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK goes away because it only makes sense when there is
a clock ticking away all the time.  timer_handler now just calls do_IRQ once
without trying to figure out how many ticks to emulate.

The idle loop now needs to turn ticking on and off.

Userspace ticks keep happening as usual.  However, the userspace loop keep
track of when the next wakeup should happen and suppresses process ticks until
that happens.

77bf440031 uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removal
This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
CHOOSE_MODE.  There were lots of functions that looked like

	int foo(args){
		foo_skas(args);
	}

The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.

In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
removed.

It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

6aa802ce6a uml: throw out CHOOSE_MODE
The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.

This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch.  This leaves a number of trivial
functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.

There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

The ever-vigilant users of linode.com noticed that an idle 2.6 UML has a
persistent load average of ~.4.

It turns out that because the UML timer handler processed softirqs before
actually delivering the tick, the tick was counted in the context of the idle
thread about half the time.

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c66 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

537ae946e8 [PATCH] uml: timer cleanups
set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails.  Some of
its callers now check the return.

enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the
only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead.

user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is
gone.

Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass
ITIMER_* to it.  Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL
or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

9786a8f3cb [PATCH] uml: Proper clone support for skas0
This patch implements the clone-stub mechanism, which allows skas0 to run
with proc_mm==0, even if the clib in UML uses modify_ldt.

Note: There is a bug in skas3.v7 host patch, that avoids UML-skas from
running properly on a SMP-box.  In full skas3, I never really saw problems,
but in skas0 they showed up.

More commentary by jdike - What this patch does is makes sure that the host
parent of each new host process matches the UML parent of the corresponding
UML process.  This ensures that any changed LDTs are inherited.  This is
done by having clone actually called by the UML process from its stub,
rather than by the kernel.  We have special syscall stubs that are loaded
onto the stub code page because that code must be completely
self-contained.  These stubs are given C interfaces, and used like normal C
functions, but there are subtleties.  Principally, we have to be careful
about stack variables in stub_clone_handler after the clone.  The code is
written so that there aren't any - everything boils down to a fixed
address.  If there were any locals, references to them after the clone
would be wrong because the stack just changed.

fc47a0d18a [PATCH] uml: time initialization tidying
user_time_init_skas and user_time_init_tt were essentially the same.  So, this
merges them, deleting the mode-specific functions and declarations.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
