Both compat syscalls got lost with 9d94b9e2 "switch timerfd compat syscalls
to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE" because of a typo:
COMPAT instead of CONFIG_COMPAT.

<title>timerfd: Fix wakeup of processes when timer is cancelled on clock change</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1123d93963cbd2546449d4d9f0c568e323cb0ac6</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently processes waiting with poll on cancelable timerfd timers are
not woken up when the timers are canceled. When the system time is set
the clock_was_set() function calls timerfd_clock_was_set() to cancel
and wake up processes waiting on potential cancelable timerfd
timers. However the wake up currently has no effect because in the
case of timerfd_read it is dependent on ctx-&gt;ticks not being
0. timerfd_poll also requires ctx-&gt;ticks being non zero. As a
consequence processes waiting on cancelable timers only get woken up
when the timers expire. This patch fixes this by incrementing
ctx-&gt;ticks before calling wake_up.

Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the
timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution
was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was
proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's
less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the
list iteration.

<title>timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was set</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99ee5315dac6211e972fa3f23bcc9a0343ff58c4</id>
<content type='text'>
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.

Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.

The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6038f373a3dc1f1c26496e60b6c40b164716f07e</id>
<content type='text'>
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.
