The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes
incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the
kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically
happens when a device is swapped out by
tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with
clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens,
the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being
restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only
try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in
one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.

The assignment of bc_moved in the conditional construct relies on the
fact that in the case of hrtimer_start() invocation the return value
is always 0. It took me a while to understand it.
We want to get rid of the hrtimer_start() return value. Open code the
logic which makes it readable as well.

The hrtimer mode of broadcast queues hrtimers in the idle entry
path so as to wakeup cpus in deep idle states. The associated
call graph is :
cpuidle_idle_call()
|____ clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, ....))
|_____tick_broadcast_set_event()
|____clockevents_program_event()
|____bc_set_next()
The hrtimer_{start/cancel} functions call into tracing which uses RCU.
But it is not legal to call into RCU in cpuidle because it is one of the
quiescent states. Hence protect this region with RCU_NONIDLE which informs
RCU that the cpu is momentarily non-idle.
As an aside it is helpful to point out that the clock event device that is
programmed here is not a per-cpu clock device; it is a
pseudo clock device, used by the broadcast framework alone.
The per-cpu clock device programming never goes through bc_set_next().

The hrtimer mode of broadcast is supported only when
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST and TICK_ONESHOT config options
are enabled. Hence compile in the functions for hrtimer mode
of broadcast only when these options are selected.
Also fix max_delta_ticks value for the pseudo clock device.

On some architectures, in certain CPU deep idle states the local timers stop.
An external clock device is used to wakeup these CPUs. The kernel support for the
wakeup of these CPUs is provided by the tick broadcast framework by using the
external clock device as the wakeup source.
However not all implementations of architectures provide such an external
clock device. This patch includes support in the broadcast framework to handle
the wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle states on such systems by queuing a hrtimer
on one of the CPUs, which is meant to handle the wakeup of CPUs in deep idle states.
This patchset introduces a pseudo clock device which can be registered by the
archs as tick_broadcast_device in the absence of a real external clock
device. Once registered, the broadcast framework will work as is for these
architectures as long as the archs take care of the BROADCAST_ENTER
notification failing for one of the CPUs. This CPU is made the stand by CPU to
handle wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle and it *must not enter deep idle states*.
The CPU with the earliest wakeup is chosen to be this CPU. Hence this way the
stand by CPU dynamically moves around and so does the hrtimer which is queued
to trigger at the next earliest wakeup time. This is consistent with the case where
an external clock device is present. The smp affinity of this clock device is
set to the CPU with the earliest wakeup. This patchset handles the hotplug of
the stand by CPU as well by moving the hrtimer on to the CPU handling the CPU_DEAD
notification.
