This change pulls the logic for if we should inflate/halve the nodes out
into separate functions. It also addresses what I believe is a bug where 1
full node is all that is needed to keep a node from ever being halved.
Simple script to reproduce the issue:
modprobe dummy; ifconfig dummy0 up
for i in `seq 0 255`; do ifconfig dummy0:$i 10.0.${i}.1/24 up; done
ifconfig dummy0:256 10.0.255.33/16 up
for i in `seq 0 254`; do ifconfig dummy0:$i down; done

This change is to start cleaning up some of the rcu_read_lock/unlock
handling. I realized while reviewing the code there are several spots that
I don't believe are being handled correctly or are masking warnings by
locally calling rcu_read_lock/unlock instead of calling them at the correct
level.
A common example is a call to fib_get_table followed by fib_table_lookup.
The rcu_read_lock/unlock ought to wrap both but there are several spots where
they were not wrapped.

This change makes it so that anything that can be shifted by, or compared
to a value shifted by bits is updated to be an unsigned long. This is
mostly a precaution against an insanely huge address space that somehow
starts coming close to the 2^32 root node size which would require
something like 1.5 billion addresses.
I chose unsigned long instead of unsigned long long since I do not believe
it is possible to allocate a 32 bit tnode on a 32 bit system as the memory
consumed would be 16GB + 28B which exceeds the addressible space for any
one process.

This change moves the pos value to the other side of the "bits" field. By
doing this it actually simplifies a significant amount of code in the trie.
For example when halving a tree we know that the bit lost exists at
oldnode->pos, and if we inflate the tree the new bit being add is at
tn->pos. Previously to find those bits you would have to subtract pos and
bits from the keylength or start with a value of (1 << 31) and then shift
that.
There are a number of spots throughout the code that benefit from this. In
the case of the hot-path searches the main advantage is that we can drop 2
or more operations from the search path as we no longer need to compute the
value for the index to be shifted by and can instead just use the raw pos
value.
In addition the tkey_extract_bits is now defunct and can be replaced by
get_index since the two operations were doing the same thing, but now
get_index does it much more quickly as it is only an xor and shift versus a
pair of shifts and a subtraction.

This patch is meant to reduce the complexity of fib_table_lookup by reducing
the number of variables to the bare minimum while still keeping the same if
not improved functionality versus the original.
Most of this change was started off by the desire to rid the function of
chopped_off and current_prefix_length as they actually added very little to
the function since they only applied when computing the cindex. I was able
to replace them mostly with just a check for the prefix match. As long as
the prefix between the key and the node being tested was the same we know
we can search the tnode fully versus just testing cindex 0.
The second portion of the change ended up being a massive reordering.
Originally the calls to check_leaf were up near the start of the loop, and
the backtracing and descending into lower levels of tnodes was later. This
didn't make much sense as the structure of the tree means the leaves are
always the last thing to be tested. As such I reordered things so that we
instead have a loop that will delve into the tree and only exit when we
have either found a leaf or we have exhausted the tree. The advantage of
rearranging things like this is that we can fully inline check_leaf since
there is now only one reference to it in the function.

This change makes it so that leaf and tnode are the same struct. As a
result there is no need for rt_trie_node anymore since everyting can be
merged into tnode.
On 32b systems this results in the leaf being 4 bytes larger, however I
don't know if that is really an issue as this and an eariler patch that
added bits & pos have increased the size from 20 to 28. If I am not
mistaken slub/slab allocate on power of 2 sizes so 20 was likely being
rounded up to 32 anyway.

Both the leaf and the tnode had an rcu_head in them, but they had them in
slightly different places. Since we now have them in the same spot and
know that any node with bits == 0 is a leaf and the rest are either vmalloc
or kmalloc tnodes depending on the value of bits it makes it easy to combine
the functions and reduce overhead.
In addition I have taken advantage of the rcu_head pointer to go ahead and
put together a simple linked list instead of using the tnode pointer as
this way we can merge either type of structure for freeing.

This change makes some fundamental changes to the way leaves and tnodes are
constructed. The big differences are:
1. Leaves now populate pos and bits indicating their full key size.
2. Trie nodes now mask out their lower bits to be consistent with the leaf
3. Both structures have been reordered so that rt_trie_node now consisists
of a much larger region including the pos, bits, and rcu portions of
the tnode structure.
On 32b systems this will result in the leaf being 4B larger as the pos and
bits values were added to a hole created by the key as it was only 4B in
length.

The trie usage stats were currently being shared by all threads that were
calling fib_table_lookup. As a result when multiple threads were
performing lookups simultaneously the trie would begin to cache bounce
between those threads.
In order to prevent this I have updated the usage stats to use a set of
percpu variables. By doing this we should be able to avoid the cache
bouncing and still make use of these stats.

It's causing severe userspace breakage. Namely, all the utilities from
wireless-utils which are relying on CONFIG_WEXT (which means tools like
'iwconfig', 'iwlist', etc) are not working anymore. There is a 'iw'
utility in newer wireless-tools, which is supposed to be a replacement
for all the "deprecated" binaries, but it's far away from being
massively adopted.
Please see [1] for example of the userspace breakage this is causing.
In addition to that, Larry Finger reports [2] that this patch is also
causing ipw2200 driver being impossible to build.
To me this clearly shows that CONFIG_WEXT is far, far away from being
"deprecated enough" to be removed.

====================
Time Counter fixes and improvements
Several PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) drivers implement the clock in
software using the timecounter/cyclecounter code. This series adds one
simple improvement and one more subtle fix to the shared timecounter
facility. Credit for this series goes to Janusz Użycki, who pointed
the issues out to me off list.
Patch #1 simply move the timecounter code into its own file. When
working on this series, it was really annoying to see half the kernel
recompile after every tweak to the timecounter stuff. There is no
reason to keep this together with the clocksource code.
Patch #2 implements an improved adjtime() method, and patches 3-10
convert all of the drivers over to the new method.
Patch #11 fixes a subtle but important issue with the timecounter WRT
frequency adjustment. As it stands now, a timecounter based PHC will
exhibit a variable frequency resolution (and variable time error)
depending on how often the clock is read.
In timecounter_read_delta(), the expression
(delta * cc->mult) >> cc->shift;
can lose resolution from the adjusted value of 'mult'. If the value
of 'delta' is too small, then small changes in 'mult' have no effect.
However, if the delta value is large enough, then small changes in
'mult' will have an effect.
Reading the clock too often means smaller 'delta' values which in turn
will spoil the fine adjustments made to 'mult'. Up until now, this
effect did not show up in my testing. The following example explains
why.
The CPTS has an input clock of 250 MHz, and the clock source uses
mult=0x80000000 and shift=29, making the ticks to nanoseconds
conversion like this:
ticks * 2^31
------------
2^29
Imagine what happens if the clock is read every 10 milliseconds. Ten
milliseconds are about 2500000 ticks, which corresponds to about 21
bits. The product in the numerator has then 52 bits. After the shift
operation, 23 bits are preserved. This results in a frequency
adjustment resolution of about 0.1 ppm (not _too_ bad.)
A frequency resolution of 1 ppm requires 20 bits.
A frequency resolution of 1 ppb requires 30 bits.
For the 250 MHz CPTS clock, reading every 4 seconds yields a 1 ppb
resolution (which is the finest that our API allows).
However, the error can be much higher if the clock is read too often
or if time stamps occur close in time to read operations. In general
it is really not acceptable to allow the rate of clock readings to
influence the clock accuracy.

The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount
of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In
other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time
stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This
patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field
that accumulates the low order bits.
