Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cure for not using zalloc in the first place, which leads to random
crashes with CPUMASK_OFF_STACK.
- Revert a user space visible change which broke udev
- Add a missing cpu_online early return introduced by the new full
dyntick conversions
- Plug a long standing race in the timer wheel cpu hotplug code.
Sigh...
- Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down to prevent stale data on cpu
up.
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
time: Revert ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK compile time optimizaitons
timer: Don't reinitialize the cpu base lock during CPU_UP_PREPARE
tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if the cpu is offline
tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down
tick: Use zalloc_cpumask_var for allocating offstack cpumasks

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.
In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.
While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

Commit 0637e029392386e6996f5d6574aadccee8315efa
("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended
to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is
enabled.
However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's
"select" instruction has no effect on such targets.
Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we
don't want instead.

Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
to an active one.
The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.
We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
a "choice".
So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
for each cputime accounting choices.
v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

Remove the dependency on (TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU). The full
dynticks option already depends on SMP which implies
(whatever flavour of) RCU tree config anyway.

It makes testing and implementation much easier as we
know in advance that all CPUs are RCU nocbs.
Also this prepares to remove the dynamic check for
nohz_full= boot mask to be a subset of rcu_nocbs=
Eventually this should also help removing the requirement
for the boot CPU to be outside the full dynticks range.

Provide two new helpers in order to notify the full dynticks CPUs about
some internal system changes against which they may reconsider the state
of their tick. Some practical examples include: posix cpu timers, perf tick
and sched clock tick.
For now the notifying handler, implemented through IPIs, is a stub
that will be implemented when we get the tick stop/restart infrastructure
in.

Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
if passed by the user.
This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.

Remove the "single task" statement from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
title. The constraint can be invalidated when tasks from
other sched classes than SCHED_FAIR are running. Moreover
it's possible that hrtick join the party in the future.
Also add a line about the dependency on SMP.

"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

In order to enforce backward compatibility with older
config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry
to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol
if present.
Namely we want:
config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol
bool
config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol
default NO_HZ
However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol
is not visible. And this is currently the case because
NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig
and alike.
To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the
obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This
makes the "defaulting" to work.

Now the user has the choice between three implementations of
the timer tick:
* Static periodic tick
* Idle dynticks
* Full dynticks
At least for now, these are mutually exclusive choices, so
let's rely on the proper Kconfig feature to display these
to the user.
A new entry CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is created and the old
CONFIG_NO_HZ maps to it for config file backward compatibility.
The old name was too general now that we have more
granular dynticks implementations.
While at it, add some explanation to help the user on
his decision between the 3 entries.

We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.
As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.
It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.
On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.
But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:
1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE
We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.
So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.
Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)
This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.
So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.
Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:
* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.
* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.
Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*
An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

Jason pointed out the HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK name isn't
quite accurate for the config, as some systems may have
the persistent_clock in some cases, but not always.
So change the config name to the more clear
ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK.

Make the persistent clock check a kernel config option, so that some
platform can explicitely select it, also make CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS and
RTC_SYSTOHC depend on its non-existence, which could prevent the
persistent clock and RTC code from doing similar thing twice during
system's init/suspend/resume phases.
If the CONFIG_HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK=n, then no change happens for kernel
which still does the persistent clock check in timekeeping_init().

Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function
pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for
broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device
drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures.
This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer
tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast
functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.
Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.
This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.
For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

This option has been selected from arch code as it was assumed that
it's necessary to support oneshot mode clockevent devices. But it's
just a core internal helper to compile tick-oneshot.c if NOHZ or

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.
In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more
appropriate.
Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't
selected by anything seems also at least questionable.

functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline. Provide also the
