<id>urn:sha1:d48fc63f6f3f485ed5aa9cf019d8e8e3a7d10263</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit b519508298e0292e1771eecf14aaf67755adc39d.

The reason for this revert is that making the frequency verification
preemptible and interruptible is not working reliably. Michaels
machine failed to use PM-timer with the message:

  PM-Timer running at invalid rate: 113% of normal - aborting.

That's not a surprise as the frequency verification does rely on
interrupts being disabled. With a async scheduled thread there is no
guarantee to achieve the same result. Also some driver might fiddle
with the CTC channel 2 during the verification period, which makes the
result even more random and unpredictable.

This can be solved by using the same mechanism as we use in the
deferred TSC validation code, but that only will work if we verified a
working HPET _BEFORE_ trying to do the PM-Timer lazy validation.

So for now reverting is the safe option.

This got a fair number of conflicts with the &lt;asm/system.h&gt; split, but
also with some other sparse-irq and header file include cleanups.  They
all looked pretty trivial, though.

Pull "ARM: device tree work" from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Most of these patches convert code from using static platform data to

  half of the changes for v3.4 because a lot of patches for this topic

Shared timer IRQs are not a good solution, however the Geode platform has
no APIC, IRQs are a scarce resource and there is no technical reason to
forbid it rightaway.  Increased latencies and overhead due to sharing are
still better than a driver refusing to load.

<title>cs5535-clockevt: Don't ignore MFGPT on SMP-capable kernels</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc579da75f0151eec4c465b0f79b4ef8e3dfb8c2</id>
<content type='text'>
On SMP-capable kernels (e.g.  generic distro kernel) the cs5535-clockevt
driver loads but is not actually used.

Setting cpumask to cpu_all_mask works for UP-only kernels, but if compiled
for SMP - though still running on the same UP hardware -
kernel/time/tick-common.c:tick_check_new_device() reads this as
"non-cpu-local" and silently ignores the device.

If we leave cpumask unset clockevents_register_device() will initialize it
and the cs5535-clockevt driver will be used no matter how the kernel was
compiled.  Should anyone ever manage to stick a CS553x in an SMP system
(is this even possible?) then a warning will be printed.  This is fine as
the cs5535-clockevt driver was never written/tested for SMP.

If bisecting led you here this patch may have exposed a pre-existing MFGPT
problem.  Configure for UP-only and re-check.
