commit ae141830b118c3fb5b7eab6fa7c8ab7b7224b0a4 upstream.

Commit 54b66800907 (parisc: Add native high-resolution sched_clock()
implementation) added support to use the CPU-internal cr16 counters as reliable
clocksource with the help of HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK.

Sadly the commit missed to remove the hack which prevented cr16 to become the
default clocksource even on SMP systems.

<id>54b668009076caddbede8fde513ca2c982590bfe</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a native implementation for the sched_clock() function which utilizes the
processor-internal cycle counter (Control Register 16) as high-resolution time
source.

With this patch we now get much more fine-grained resolutions in various
in-kernel time measurements (e.g. when viewing the function tracing logs), and
probably a more accurate scheduling on SMP systems.

There are a few specific implementation details in this patch:

1. On a 32bit kernel we emulate the higher 32bits of the required 64-bit
resolution of sched_clock() by increasing a per-cpu counter at every
wrap-around of the 32bit cycle counter.

2. In a SMP system, the cycle counters of the various CPUs are not syncronized
(similiar to the TSC in a x86_64 system). To cope with this we define
HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and let the upper layers do the adjustment work.

3. Since we need HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, we need to provide a cmpxchg64()
function even on a 32-bit kernel.

4. A 64-bit SMP kernel which is started on a UP system will mark the
sched_clock() implementation as "stable", which means that we don't expect any
jumps in the returned counter. This is true because we then run only on one
CPU.

This was defined in asm/pdc.h which needs to include asm/page.h for

include pdc.h again. While this is no problem because of header guards, it is
a problem because some symbols may be undefined. Such an error is this:

This patch converts the parisc architecture to use the generic
read_persistent_clock and update_persistent_clock interfaces, reducing
the amount of arch specific code we have to maintain, and allowing for
further cleanups in the future.

I have not built or tested this patch, so help from arch maintainers
would be appreciated.

<id>84be31be3727d11b2a91781306b642e801c5a379</id>
<content type='text'>
Rewrote timer_interrupt() to properly handle the "delayed!" case.

If we used floating point math to compute the number of ticks that had
elapsed since the last timer interrupt, it could take up to 12K cycles
(emperical!) to handle the interrupt. Existing code assumed it would
never take more than 8k cycles. We end up programming Interval Timer
to a value less than "current" cycle counter.  Thus have to wait until
Interval Timer "wrapped" and would then get the "delayed!" printk that
I moved below.

Since we don't really know what the upper limit is, I prefer to read
CR16 again after we've programmed it to make sure we won't have to
wait for CR16 to wrap.

Further, the printk was between reading CR16 (cycle couner) and writing CR16
(the interval timer). This would cause us to continue to set the interval
timer to a value that was "behind" the cycle counter. Rinse and repeat.
So no printk's between reading CR16 and setting next interval timer.

Tested on A500 (550 Mhz PA8600).

Kyle, Helge, and other parisc's,
Please test on 32-bit before committing.
I think I have it right but recognize I might not.

TODO: I wanted to use "do_div()" in order to get both remainder
and value back with one division op. That should help with the
latency alot but can be applied seperately from this patch.

thanks,
