To increase compiler portability there is &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes
with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.

<title>time: Revert to calling clock_was_set_delayed() while in irq context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cab5e127eef040399902caa8e1510795583fa03a</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 47a1b796306356f35 ("tick/timekeeping: Call
update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock"), we moved to calling
clock_was_set() due to the fact that we were no longer holding
the timekeeping or jiffies lock.

However, there is still the problem that clock_was_set()
triggers an IPI, which cannot be done from the timer's hard irq
context, and will generate WARN_ON warnings.

Apparently in my earlier testing, I'm guessing I didn't bump the
dmesg log level, so I somehow missed the WARN_ONs.

Thus we need to revert back to calling clock_was_set_delayed().

<title>timekeeping: Fix missing timekeeping_update in suspend path</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure
persist.

In the timekeeping suspend path, we udpate the timekeeper
structure, so we should be sure to update the shadow-timekeeper
before releasing the timekeeping locks. Currently this isn't done.

In most cases, the next time related code to run would be
timekeeping_resume, which does update the shadow-timekeeper, but
in an abundence of caution, this patch adds the call to
timekeeping_update() in the suspend path.

A think-o in the calculation of the monotonic -&gt; tai time offset
results in CLOCK_TAI timers and nanosleeps to expire late (the
latency is ~2x the tai offset).

Fix this by adding the tai offset from the realtime offset instead
of subtracting.

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and
the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time()
while holding the jiffies lock.

Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer().

This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed()
in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set()
call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock
to be acquired.

As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
  hrtimer locks -&gt; timekeeping locks

clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.

But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.

Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep
enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message:

So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.

This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

<id>urn:sha1:5258d3f25c76f6ab86e9333abf97a55a877d3870</id>
<content type='text'>
In 780427f0e11 (Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock
gtod notifier), logic was added to pass a CLOCK_WAS_SET
notification to the pvclock notifier chain.

While that patch added a action flag returned from
accumulate_nsecs_to_secs(), it only uses the returned value
in one location, and not in the logarithmic accumulation.

This means if a leap second triggered during the logarithmic
accumulation (which is most likely where it would happen),
the notification that the clock was set would not make it to
the pv notifiers.

This patch extends the logarithmic_accumulation pass down
that action flag so proper notification will occur.

This patch also changes the varialbe action -&gt; clock_set
per Ingo's suggestion.
