<content type='text'>
Now that we have raw_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() definitions, there's no need to use
arch_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() definitions outside of the low-level atomic
definitions.

Move treewide users of arch_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() over to the equivalent
raw_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;().

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

In order to use sched_clock() from noinstr code, mark it and all it's
implenentations noinstr.

The whole pvclock thing (used by KVM/Xen) is a bit of a pain,
since it calls out to watchdogs, create a
pvclock_clocksource_read_nowd() variant doesn't do that and can be
noinstr.

<title>x86/pvclock: Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read()</title>

Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read:

- Atomic update can be skipped if the "last_value" is already
  equal to "ret".

- The detection of atomic update failure is not correct. The value,
  returned by atomic64_cmpxchg should be compared to the old value
  from the location to be updated. If these two are the same, then
  atomic update succeeded and "last_value" location is updated to
  "ret" in an atomic way. Otherwise, the atomic update failed and
  it should be retried with the value from "last_value" - exactly
  what atomic64_try_cmpxchg does in a correct and more optimal way.

<content type='text'>
The x86 vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the
newly introduced generic vDSO library.

Introduce the following changes:
 - Modification of vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
 - Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and cleaned up the function signature formatting ]

<title>x86: Convert x86_platform_ops to timespec64</title>

<content type='text'>
The x86 platform operations are fairly isolated, so it's easy to change
them from using timespec to timespec64. It has been checked that all the
users and callers are safe, and there is only one critical function that is
broken beyond 2106:

  pvclock_read_wallclock() uses a 32-bit number of seconds since the epoch
  to communicate the boot time between host and guest in a virtual
  environment. This will work until 2106, but fixing this is outside the
  scope of this change, Add a comment at least.

<title>x86/pvclock: add setter for pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va</title>

<id>9f08890ab906abaf9d4c1bad8111755cbd302260</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now there is only a pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va() which is defined
on kvmclock since:

commit dac16fba6fc5
("x86/vdso: Get pvclock data from the vvar VMA instead of the fixmap")

The only user of this interface so far is kvm. This commit adds a
setter function for the pvti page and moves pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va
to pvclock, which is a more generic place to have it; and would
allow other PV clocksources to use it, such as Xen.

While moving pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va into pvclock, rename also this
function to pvclock_get_pvti_cpu0_va (including its call sites)
to be symmetric with the setter (pvclock_set_pvti_cpu0_va).
