In the GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD update_vsyscall implementation,
we take the tk_xtime() value, which returns a timespec64, and
store it in a timespec.
This luckily is ok, since the only architectures that use
GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD are ia64 and ppc64, which are both
64 bit systems where timespec64 is the same as a timespec.
Even so, for cleanliness reasons, use the conversion function
to assign the proper type.

Tracers want a correlated time between the kernel instrumentation and
user space. We really do not want to export sched_clock() to user
space, so we need to provide something sensible for this.
Using separate data structures with an non blocking sequence count
based update mechanism allows us to do that. The data structure
required for the readout has a sequence counter and two copies of the
timekeeping data.
On the update side:
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[0], tk);
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[1], tk);
On the reader side:
do {
seq = tkf->seq;
smp_rmb();
idx = seq & 0x01;
now = now(tkf->base[idx]);
smp_rmb();
} while (seq != tkf->seq)
So if a NMI hits the update of base[0] it will use base[1] which is
still consistent, but this timestamp is not guaranteed to be monotonic
across an update.
The timestamp is calculated by:
now = base_mono + clock_delta * slope
So if the update lowers the slope, readers who are forced to the
not yet updated second array are still using the old steeper slope.
tmono
^
| o n
| o n
| u
| o
|o
|12345678---> reader order
o = old slope
u = update
n = new slope
So reader 6 will observe time going backwards versus reader 5.
While other CPUs are likely to be able observe that, the only way
for a CPU local observation is when an NMI hits in the middle of
the update. Timestamps taken from that NMI context might be ahead
of the following timestamps. Callers need to be aware of that and
deal with it.
V2: Got rid of clock monotonic raw and reorganized the data
structures. Folded in the barrier fix from Mathieu.

For NMI safe access to clock monotonic we use the seqcount LSB as
index of a timekeeper array. The update sequence looks like this:
smp_wmb(); <- prior stores to a[1]
seq++;
smp_wmb(); <- seq increment before update of a[0]
update(a[0]);
smp_wmb(); <- update of a[0]
seq++;
smp_wmb(); <- seq increment before update of a[1]
update(a[1]);
To avoid open coded barriers, provide a helper function.

The members of the new struct are the required ones for the new NMI
safe accessor to clcok monotonic. In order to reuse the existing
timekeeping code and to make the update of the fast NMI safe
timekeepers a simple memcpy use the struct for the timekeeper as well
and convert all users.

Access to time requires to touch two cachelines at minimum
1) The timekeeper data structure
2) The clocksource data structure
The access to the clocksource data structure can be avoided as almost
all clocksource implementations ignore the argument to the read
callback, which is a pointer to the clocksource.
But the core needs to touch it to access the members @read and @mask.
So we are better off by copying the @read function pointer and the
@mask from the clocksource to the core data structure itself.
For the most used ktime_get() access all required data including the
@read and @mask copies fits together with the sequence counter into a
single 64 byte cacheline.
For the other time access functions we touch in the current code three
cache lines in the worst case. But with the clocksource data copies we
can reduce that to two adjacent cachelines, which is more efficient
than disjunct cache lines.

The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to
provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and
monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core.
We can't do the TSC specific
if (now < cycle_last)
now = cycle_last;
for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has
CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if
now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative
result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0
for that case.
Implement and enable it for x86

We want to move the TSC sanity check into core code to make NMI safe
accessors to clock monotonic[_raw] possible. For this we need to
sanity check the delta calculation. Create a helper function and
