clock_was_set() unconditionaly invokes retrigger_next_event() on all online
CPUs. This was necessary because that mechanism was also used for resume
from suspend to idle which is not longer the case.

The bases arguments allows the callers of clock_was_set() to hand in a mask
which tells clock_was_set() which of the hrtimer clock bases are affected
by the clock setting. This mask will be used in the next step to check
whether a CPU base has timers queued on a clock base affected by the event
and avoid the SMP function call if there are none.

Add a @bases argument, provide defines for the active bases masking and
fixup all callsites.

do_adjtimex() might end up scheduling a delayed clock_was_set() via
timekeeping_advance() and then invoke clock_was_set() directly which is
pointless.

Make timekeeping_advance() return whether an invocation of clock_was_set()
is required and handle it at the call sites which allows do_adjtimex() to
issue a single direct call if required.

<content type='text'>
Resuming timekeeping is a clock-was-set event and uses the clock-was-set
notification mechanism. This is in the way of making the clock-was-set
update for hrtimers selective so unnecessary IPIs are avoided when a CPU
base does not have timers queued which are affected by the clock setting.

Distangle it by invoking hrtimer_resume() on each unfreezing CPU and invoke
the new timerfd_resume() function from timekeeping_resume() which is the
only place where this is needed.

Rename hrtimer_resume() to hrtimer_resume_local() to reflect the change.

With this the clock_was_set*() functions are not longer required to IPI all
CPUs unconditionally and can get some smarts to avoid them.

System time snapshots are not conveying information about the current
clocksource which was used, but callers like the PTP KVM guest
implementation have the requirement to evaluate the clocksource type to
select the appropriate mechanism.

Introduce a clocksource id field in struct clocksource which is by default
set to CSID_GENERIC (0). Clocksource implementations can set that field to
a value which allows to identify the clocksource.

Store the clocksource id of the current clocksource in the
system_time_snapshot so callers can evaluate which clocksource was used to
take the snapshot and act accordingly.

The struct clocksource callbacks enable() and disable() are described as a
way to allow clock sources to enter a power save mode. See commit
4614e6adafa2 ("clocksource: add enable() and disable() callbacks")

But using runtime PM from these callbacks triggers a cyclic lockdep warning when
switching clock source using change_clocksource().

    Possible unsafe locking scenario:

          ----                    ----
     lock(tk_core.seq.seqcount);
                                  lock(hrtimer_bases.lock);
                                  lock(tk_core.seq.seqcount);
     lock(&amp;dev-&gt;power.lock);

    *** DEADLOCK ***

   2 locks held by migration/0/11:
    #0: ffff8000113c9278 (timekeeper_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: change_clocksource+0x2c/0x160
    #1: ffff8000113c8f88 (tk_core.seq.seqcount){----}-{0:0}, at: multi_cpu_stop+0xa4/0x190

Rework change_clocksource() so it enables the new clocksource and disables
the old clocksource outside of the timekeeper_lock and seqcount write held
region. There is no requirement that these callbacks are invoked from the
lock held region.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
  the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.

  There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
  of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
  changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
  Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
  any more.

  The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
  result.

  For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
  not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
  platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
  cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
  function.

  Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
  Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
  selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"
