      hrtimer: Prevent stale expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt() · 9bc74919
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      hrtimer_interrupt() has the following subtle issue:
      
      hrtimer_interrupt()
        lock(cpu_base);
        expires_next = KTIME_MAX;
      
        expire_timers(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
        expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
        if (expires < expires_next)
          expires_next = expires;
      
        expire_timers(CLOCK_REALTIME);
          unlock(cpu_base);
          wakeup()
          hrtimer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, newtimer);
          lock(cpu_base();  
        expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_REALTIME);
        if (expires < expires_next)
          expires_next = expires;
      
      So because we already evaluated the next expiring timer of
      CLOCK_MONOTONIC we ignore that the expiry time of newtimer might be
      earlier than the overall next expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt().
      
      To solve this, remove the caching of the next expiry value from
      hrtimer_interrupt() and reevaluate all active clock bases for the next
      expiry value. To avoid another code duplication, create a shared
      evaluation function and use it for hrtimer_get_next_event(),
      hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt().
      
      There is another subtlety in this mechanism:
      
      While hrtimer_interrupt() is running, we want to avoid to touch the
      hardware device because we will reprogram it anyway at the end of
      hrtimer_interrupt(). This works nicely for hrtimers which get rearmed
      via the HRTIMER_RESTART mechanism, because we drop out when the
      callback on that CPU is running. But that fails, if a new timer gets
      enqueued like in the example above.
      
      This has another implication: While hrtimer_interrupt() is running we
      refuse remote enqueueing of timers - see hrtimer_interrupt() and
      hrtimer_check_target().
      
      hrtimer_interrupt() tries to prevent this by setting cpu_base->expires
      to KTIME_MAX, but that fails if a new timer gets queued.
      
      Prevent both the hardware access and the remote enqueue
      explicitely. We can loosen the restriction on the remote enqueue now
      due to reevaluation of the next expiry value, but that needs a
      seperate patch.
      
      Folded in a fix from Vignesh Radhakrishnan.

      ktime.h: Introduce ktime_ms_delta · 41fbf3b3
      Chunyan Zhang authored
      This patch adds a reusable time difference function which returns the
      difference in millisecond, as often used in some driver code, e.g.
      mtd/test, media/rc, etc.

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "We've been sitting on our fixes branch for a while, so this batch is
        unfortunately on the large side.
      
        A lot of these are tweaks and fixes to device trees, fixing various
        bugs around clocks, reg ranges, etc.  There's also a few defconfig
        updates (which are on the late side, no more of those).
      
        All in all the diffstat is bigger than ideal at this time, but nothing
        in here seems particularly risky"
