<id>urn:sha1:1727339590fdb5a1ded881b540cd32121278d414</id>
<content type='text'>
The CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro is used widely for the timers to declare the
clocksource at early stage. However, this macro is also used to initialize
the clockevent if any, or the clockevent only.

It was originally suggested to declare another macro to initialize a
clockevent, so in order to separate the two entities even they belong to the
same IP. This was not accepted because of the impact on the DT where splitting
a clocksource/clockevent definition does not make sense as it is a Linux
concept not a hardware description.

On the other side, the clocksource has not interrupt declared while the
clockevent has, so it is easy from the driver to know if the description is
for a clockevent or a clocksource, IOW it could be implemented at the driver
level.

So instead of dealing with a named clocksource macro, let's use a more generic
one: TIMER_OF_DECLARE.

The patch has not functional changes.

<title>x86/tsc, sched/clock, clocksource: Use clocksource watchdog to provide stable sync points</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b421b22b00b0011f6a2ce3561176c4e79e640c49</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to
keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that
by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked.

So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've
found it to still be stable.

There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it
stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work
and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles
after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock
values.

And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an
optimization.

Besides reusing existing code this removes the special case handling
for 64-bit masks, which causes clang to raise a shift count overflow
warning due to https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=10030.

PeterZ reported that we'd fail to mark the TSC unstable when the
clocksource watchdog finds it unsuitable.

Allow a clocksource to run a custom action when its being marked
unstable and hook up the TSC unstable code.
