Remove the old timers/timer_opts infrastructure which has been disabled. It
is a fairly straightforward set of deletions
Note that this does not provide any i386 clocksources, so you will only have
the jiffies clocksource. To get full replacements for the code being removed
here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will be needed.

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC
initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
will be removed) that we want to preserve.
The code also introduces the following functionality:
o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency
o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
usability
o minor cleanups to calibration math.
This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.

At suspend time, the TSC CPUFREQ_SUSPENDCHANGE notifier change might
wrongly enable interrupt. cpufreq driver suspend/resume is in interrupt

Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.
This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366
reported by Tim Mann.

arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c::recalibrate_cpu_khz()
When we re-calibrate the frequency, it is likely that an interrupt (as for
example the main system clock) will be triggered by the system. Therefore
the calibration may not be accurate. This will also provide a fix to bug
#5266.
Many thanks to Larry Finger for helping resolving this issue.

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the
arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a
cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an
Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an
imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with
nearly nanosecond accuracy.
Fix the x86_64 architecture too.

The timers lack .suspend/.resume methods. Because of this, jiffies got a
big compensation after a S3 resume. And then softlockup watchdog reports
an oops. This occured with HPET enabled, but it's also possible for other
timers.

x86_64's cpu_khz is unsigned int and there is no reason why x86 needs to use
unsigned long.
So make cpu_khz unsigned int on x86 as well.

Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).
Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3) Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate
Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).
Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.
Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from
the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the
optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec.
This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue,
fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the
timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've
tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without
legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
