[ Upstream commit eb8e20f89093b64f48975c74ccb114e6775cee22 ]

accumulate_stolen_time() is called prior to interrupt state being
reconciled, which can trip the warning in arch_local_irq_restore():

  WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1017 at arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c:258 .arch_local_irq_restore+0x9c/0x130

<title>powerpc: Fix vDSO clock_getres()</title>

[ Upstream commit 552263456215ada7ee8700ce022d12b0cffe4802 ]

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().

In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
    sec = 0;
    ns = hrtimer_resolution;
and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high
resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time.

Fix the powerpc vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of
hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

Fixes: a7f290dad32e ("[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel")

[ Upstream commit 6e2f03e292ef46eed2b31b0a344a91d514f9cd81 ]

Prevent a kernel panic caused by unintentionally clearing TCR watchdog
bits. At this point in the kernel boot, the watchdog may have already
been enabled by u-boot. The original code's attempt to write to the TCR
register results in an inadvertent clearing of the watchdog
configuration bits, causing the 476 to reset.

Migrate powerpc 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.

We weren't doing anything in -&gt;set_mode(ONSHOT) and so
set_state_oneshot() isn't implemented.

<title>powerpc: use device_initcall for registering rtc devices</title>

Currently these two RTC devices are in core platform code
where it is not possible for them to be modular.  It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for
__initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- they will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Accumulate timing information for real-mode code</title>

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:

* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
  just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
  guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
  host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
  return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
  while other threads in the same vcore are active.

These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.

The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

Pull clock framework updates from Mike Turquette:
 "The clock framework changes contain the usual driver additions,
  enhancements and fixes mostly for ARM32, ARM64, MIPS and Power-based
  devices.

  Additionally the framework core underwent a bit of surgery with two
  major changes:

   - The boundary between the clock core and clock providers (e.g clock
     drivers) is now more well defined with dedicated provider helper
     functions.  struct clk no longer maps 1:1 with the hardware clock
     but is a true per-user cookie which helps us tracker users of
     hardware clocks and debug bad behavior.

   - The addition of rate constraints for clocks.  Rate ranges are now
     supported which are analogous to the voltage ranges in the
     regulator framework.

  Unfortunately these changes to the core created some breakeage.  We
  think we fixed it all up but for this reason there are lots of last
  minute commits trying to undo the damage"

On POWER8 virtualised kernels the VTB register can be read to have a view
of time that only increases while the guest is running.  This will prevent
guests from seeing time jump if a guest is paused for significant amounts
of time.

On POWER7 and below virtualised kernels stolen time is subtracted from
local_clock as a best effort approximation.  This will not eliminate
spurious warnings in the case of a suspended guest but may reduce the
occurance in the case of softlockups due to host over commit.

Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore
sane values when not executing, the approxmation is fine as host kernels
won't observe any stolen time.

So the boards which has COMMON_CLK enabled don't have to
invoke this in its board specific file.

<title>rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform</title>

The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc
driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure
to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The
'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present
in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in
in the absence of an OPAL driver.

The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the
new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
