There's a small race/chance that, while hrtimers are enabled globally,
they're later not enabled when we're calling the hrtimer_interrupt() function,
which then BUG_ON()'s for that. This patch closes that race/gap.

As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine
which C-state to select etc.
This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their
soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup
time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before
going idle rather than specially waking up for it.

the slack estimator used unsigned math; however for very short delay it's
possible that by the time you calculate the timeout, it's already passed and
you get a negative time/slack... in an unsigned variable... which then gets
turned into a 100 msec delay rather than zero.
This patch fixes this by using a signed typee in the right places.

We want to be able to control the default "rounding" that is used by
select() and poll() and friends. This is a per process property
(so that we can have a "nice" like program to start certain programs with
a looser or stricter rounding) that can be set/get via a prctl().
For this purpose, a field called "timer_slack_ns" is added to the task
struct. In addition, a field called "default_timer_slack"ns" is added
so that tasks easily can temporarily to a more/less accurate slack and then
back to the default.
The default value of the slack is set to 50 usec; this is significantly less
than 2.6.27's average select() and poll() timing error but still allows
the kernel to group timers somewhat to preserve power behavior. Applications
and admins can override this via the prctl()

this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point
the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.

In order to be able to turn hrtimers into range based, we need to provide
accessor functions for getting to the "expires" ktime_t member of the
struct hrtimer.
This patch adds a set of accessors for this purpose:
* hrtimer_set_expires
* hrtimer_set_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_add_expires
* hrtimer_add_expires_ns
* hrtimer_get_expires
* hrtimer_get_expires_tv64
* hrtimer_get_expires_ns
* hrtimer_expires_remaining
* hrtimer_start_expires
No users of these new accessors are added yet; these follow in later patches.
Hopefully this patch can even go into 2.6.27-rc so that the conversions will
not have a bottleneck in -next

With lots of help, input and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner
This patch switches select() and poll() over to hrtimers.
The core of the patch is replacing the "s64 timeout" with a
"struct timespec end_time" in all the plumbing.
But most of the diffstat comes from using the just introduced helpers:
poll_select_set_timeout
poll_select_copy_remaining
timespec_add_safe
which make manipulating the timespec easier and less error-prone.

with hrtimer poll/select, the signal restart data no longer is a single

This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll:
poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond
pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time.
This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various,
common, sanity checks.
poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining
time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in
both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).

Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bd. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem
TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.
