For some reason long ago I decided that we should zero out the time base
when we calibrate the decrementer.  The problem is that this can be
harmful in SMP systems where the firmware has already synchronized the
time bases on the various cores.

As TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT is used for more than just the tick length, the name
isn't quite approriate anymore, so this renames it to NTP_SCALE_SHIFT.

This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside
user had no real need to modify it).  Intermediate values were already 64bit,
so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing
SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.  PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between
user space and kernel space representation.

This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code.  This allows us
to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only
add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime.

This adds a cputime_to_scaled function.  As before, the POWERPC version
does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated.  The
generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are
both NOPs.

Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

These hooks ensure that a decrementer interrupt is not pending when
suspending; otherwise, problems may occur on 6xx/7xx/7xxx-based
systems (except for powermacs, which use a separate suspend path).
For example, with deep sleep on the 831x, a pending decrementer will
cause a system freeze because the SoC thinks the decrementer interrupt
would have woken the system, but the core must have interrupts
disabled due to the setup required for deep sleep.

Changed via-pmu.c to use the new ppc_md hooks, and made the arch_*
functions call the generic_* functions unconditionally.  -- paulus

We have multiple calls to has_feature being inlined, but gcc can't
be sure that the store via get_paca() doesn't alias the path to
cur_cpu_spec-&gt;feature.

Reorder to put the calls to read_purr and read_spurr adjacent to each
other.  To add a sense of consistency, reorder the remaining lines to
perform parallel steps on purr and scaled purr of each line instead of
calculating and then using one value before going on to the next.

In addition, we can tell gcc that no SPURR means no PURR.  The test is
completely hidden in the PURR case, and in the !PURR case the second test
is eliminated resulting in the simple register copy in the out-of-line
branch.

Further, gcc sees get_paca()-&gt;system_time referenced several times and
allocates a register to address it (shadowing r13) instead of caching its
value.  Reading into a local varable saves the shadow of r13 and removes
a potentially duplicate load (between the nested if and its parent).

If CPU_FTR_PURR is not set, we will never set cpu_purr_data-&gt;initialized.
Checking via __get_cpu_var on 64 bit avoids one dependent load compared
to cpu_has_feature in the not-present case, and is always required when
it is present.  The code is under CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING so 32 bit
will not be affected.
