In time-travel mode, since my previous patch, the start time was
initialized too late, so that the system would read it before we
set it, thus always starting system time at 0 (1970-01-01). This
happens because timekeeping_init() reads the time and is called
before time_init().

Unfortunately, I didn't see this before because I was testing it
only with the RTC patch applied (and enabled), and then the time
is read again by the RTC a little - after time_init() this time.

Fix this by just doing the initialization whenever necessary.

Lockdep (on 5.10-rc) points out that we're delivering IRQs while IRQs
are not even enabled, which clearly shouldn't happen. Defer the time
event IRQ delivery until they actually are enabled.

Due a bug - we never checked the time_travel_ext_free_until value - we
were always requesting time for every single scheduling. This adds up
since we make reading time cost 256ns, and it's a fairly common call.
Fix this.

While at it, also make reading time only cost something when we're not
currently waiting for our scheduling turn - otherwise things get mixed
up in a very confusing way. We should never get here, since we're not
actually running, but it's possible if you stick printk() or such into
the virtio code that must handle the external interrupts.

If there is some kind of interrupt negotation or such then
it may happen that we send an update message multiple times,
avoid that in the interest of efficiency by storing the last
transmitted value and only sending a new update if it's not
the same as the last update.

In time-travel mode, we've relied on read_persistent_clock64()
being called only once at system startup, but this is both the
right thing to call from the pseudo-RTC, and also gets called
by the timekeeping core during suspend/resume.

Thus, fix this to always fall make use of the time_travel_time
in any time-travel mode, initializing time_travel_start at boot
to the right value depending on the time-travel mode.

<title>um: Simplify os_idle_sleep() and sleep longer</title>

There really is no reason to pass the amount of time we should
sleep, especially since it's just hard-coded to one second.

Additionally, one second isn't really all that long, and as we
are expecting to be woken up by a signal, we can sleep longer
and avoid doing some work every second, so replace the current
clock_nanosleep() with just an empty select() that can _only_
be woken up by a signal.

We can also remove the deliver_alarm() since we don't need to
do that when we got e.g. SIGIO that woke us up, and if we got
SIGALRM the signal handler will actually (have) run, so it's
just unnecessary extra work.

Similarly, in time-travel mode, just program the wakeup event
from idle to be S64_MAX, which is basically the most you could
ever simulate to. Of course, you should already have an event
in the list that's earlier and will cause a wakeup, normally
that's the regular timer interrupt, though in suspend it may
(later) also be an RTC event. Since actually getting to this
point would be a bug and you can't ever get out again, panic()
on it in the time control code.

Since the time-travel rework, basic time-travel mode hasn't worked
properly, but there's no longer a need for this WARN_ON() so just
remove it and thereby fix things.

so do that.

As the comment here indicates, we need to do the polling in the
idle loop without blocking interrupts, since interrupts can be
vhost-user messages that we must process even while in our idle
loop.

I don't know why I explained one thing and implemented another,
but we have indeed observed random hangs due to this, depending
on the timing of the messages.

In external or inf-cpu time-travel mode, ndelay/udelay currently
just waste CPU time since the simulation time doesn't advance.
Implement them properly in this case.

Note that the "if (time_travel_mode == ...)" parts compile out
if CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT isn't set, time_travel_mode is
defined to TT_MODE_OFF in that case.
