We fixed a bunch of integer overflows in timekeeping code during the 3.6
cycle.  I did an audit based on that and found this potential overflow.

<title>nohz: Fix one jiffy count too far in idle cputime</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2b17c545a4cdbbbadcd7f1e9684c2d7db8f085a6</id>
<content type='text'>
When we stop the tick in idle, we save the current jiffies value
in ts-&gt;idle_jiffies. This snapshot is substracted from the later
value of jiffies when the tick is restarted and the resulting
delta is accounted as idle cputime. This is how we handle the
idle cputime accounting without the tick.

But sometimes we need to schedule the next tick to some time in
the future instead of completely stopping it. In this case, a
tick may happen before we restart the periodic behaviour and
from that tick we account one jiffy to idle cputime as usual but
we also increment the ts-&gt;idle_jiffies snapshot by one so that
when we compute the delta to account, we substract the one jiffy
we just accounted.

To prepare for stopping the tick outside idle, we introduced a
check that prevents from fixing up that ts-&gt;idle_jiffies if we
are not running the idle task. But we use idle_cpu() for that
and this is a problem if we run the tick while another CPU
remotely enqueues a ttwu to our runqueue:

CPU 0:                            CPU 1:

tick_sched_timer() {              ttwu_queue_remote()
       if (idle_cpu(CPU 0))
           ts-&gt;idle_jiffies++;
}

Here, idle_cpu() notes that &amp;rq-&gt;wake_list is not empty and
hence won't consider the CPU as idle. As a result,
ts-&gt;idle_jiffies won't be incremented. But this is wrong because
we actually account the current jiffy to idle cputime. And that
jiffy won't get substracted from the nohz time delta. So in the
end, this jiffy is accounted twice.

Fix this by changing idle_cpu(smp_processor_id()) with
is_idle_task(current). This way the jiffy is substracted
correctly even if a ttwu operation is enqueued on the CPU.

Pull power management updates from Rafael J Wysocki:

 - Improved system suspend/resume and runtime PM handling for the SH
   TMU, CMT and MTU2 clock event devices (also used by ARM/shmobile).

 - Generic PM domains framework extensions related to cpuidle support
   and domain objects lookup using names.

 - ARM/shmobile power management updates including improved support for
   the SH7372's A4S power domain containing the CPU core.

 - cpufreq changes related to AMD CPUs support from Matthew Garrett,
   Andre Przywara and Borislav Petkov.

 - cpu0 cpufreq driver from Shawn Guo.

 - cpufreq governor fixes related to the relaxing of limit from Michal
   Pecio.

 - OMAP cpufreq updates from Axel Lin and Richard Zhao.

 - cpuidle ladder governor fixes related to the disabling of states from
   Carsten Emde and me.

 - Runtime PM core updates related to the interactions with the system
   suspend core from Alan Stern and Kevin Hilman.

 - Wakeup sources modification allowing more helper functions to be
   called from interrupt context from John Stultz and additional
   diagnostic code from Todd Poynor.

 - System suspend error code path fix from Feng Hong.

Fixed up conflicts in cpufreq/powernow-k8 that stemmed from the
workqueue fixes conflicting fairly badly with the removal of support for
hardware P-state chips.  The changes were independent but somewhat
intertwined.

We only do rounding to the next nanosecond so we don't see minor
1ns inconsistencies in the vsyscall implementations. Since we're
changing the vsyscall implementations to avoid this, conditionalize
the rounding only to the GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD architectures.
