2c62214831 Fix discrepancy between VDSO based gettimeofday() and sys_gettimeofday().
On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to
include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user
calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr).

This patch adds a hook for architectures that set
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also
updatee their copy in the vdso.

b52f52a093 clocksource: fix resume logic
We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed.  The current resume logic does not guarantee this.

Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource
drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume
function.

Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

329c8d84ca time: SMP friendly alignment of struct clocksource
struct clocksource is a critical data structure.

Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each
timer interrupt.

It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one
cache line, or at least the minimum for machines with small cache lines.

5d8b34fdcb [PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper
The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource.  Instead of using
hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification
mechanism.  The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles
the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which
needs to be verified.

5eb6d20533 [PATCH] Time: Use clocksource abstraction for NTP adjustments
Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the
clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time.  Using the clocksource
abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of
late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.

This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.

The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own
interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the
blame to me.

734efb467b [PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructure
This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure.  A clocksource is a
driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter.  This
code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for
registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources.

Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common
denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
