If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock
and then registered it becomes active even if the system is in one-shot
mode. Move the override check from sysfs_override_clocksource to the
clocksource selection. That fixes the bug and simplifies the code. The
check in clocksource_register for double registration of the same
clocksource is removed without replacement.
To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is
defined that returns the jiffies clocksource. The architecture code
can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource,
e.g. the TOD clock on s390.

The three inline functions clocksource_read, clocksource_enable and
clocksource_disable are simple wrappers of an indirect call plus the
copy from and to the mult_orig value. The functions are exclusively
used by the timekeeping code which has intimate knowledge of the
clocksource anyway. Therefore remove the inline functions. No
functional change.

Setup clocksource mult_orig in clocksource_enable().
Clocksource drivers can save power by using keeping the
device clock disabled while the clocksource is unused.
In practice this means that the enable() and disable()
callbacks perform clk_enable() and clk_disable().
The enable() callback may also use clk_get_rate() to get
the clock rate from the clock framework. This information
can then be used to calculate the shift and mult variables.
Currently the mult_orig variable is setup from mult at
registration time only. This is conflicting with the above
case since the clock is disabled and the mult variable is
not yet calculated at the time of registration.
Moving the mult_orig setup code to clocksource_enable()
allows us to both handle the common case with no enable()
callback and the mult-changed-after-enable() case.

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.
The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)
As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounter
The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

In talking with Josip Loncaric, and his work on clock synchronization (see
btime.sf.net), he mentioned that for really close synchronization, it is
useful to have access to "hardware time", that is a notion of time that is
not in any way adjusted by the clock slewing done to keep close time sync.
Part of the issue is if we are using the kernel's ntp adjusted
representation of time in order to measure how we should correct time, we
can run into what Paul McKenney aptly described as "Painting a road using
the lines we're painting as the guide".
I had been thinking of a similar problem, and was trying to come up with a
way to give users access to a purely hardware based time representation
that avoided users having to know the underlying frequency and mask values
needed to deal with the wide variety of possible underlying hardware
counters.
My solution is to introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. This exposes a
nanosecond based time value, that increments starting at bootup and has no
frequency adjustments made to it what so ever.
The time is accessed from userspace via the posix_clock_gettime() syscall,
passing CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as the clock_id.

The clocksource frequency is represented by
clocksource->mult/2^(clocksource->shift). Currently, when NTP makes
adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult
value.
This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal
mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied.
This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when
switching back and forth between clocksources.
This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig
pair. The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource
adjustments are done only to the mult value.
This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the
groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw
time, which is introduced in a following patch.

This patch adds a hook for architectures that set

updatee their copy in the vdso.

We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.

function.
Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the
clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource
abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of
late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.
This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.
