Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is the rwsem lock-steal improvements, both to the
  assembly optimized and the spinlock based variants.

  The other notable change is the clean up of the seqlock implementation
  to be based on the seqcount infrastructure.

  The rest is assorted smaller debuggability, cleanup and continued -rt
  locking changes."

seconds_overflow() is called from hard interrupt context even on
Preempt-RT. This requires the lock to be a raw_spinlock.

<title>time, Fix setting of hardware clock in NTP code</title>

<content type='text'>
At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock()
it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest.  This time
difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock,
and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot.

The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time
to the hardware clock in the ntp code.  This patch adds
persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied
in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware
clock.

x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a
+/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time.  Other arches, such
as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the
rtc and will see this problem.

<title>NTP: Add a CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC configuration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:023f333a99cee9b5cd3268ff87298eb01a31f78e</id>
<content type='text'>
The purpose of this option is to allow ARM/etc systems that rely on the
class RTC subsystem to have the same kind of automatic NTP based
synchronization that we have on PC platforms. Today ARM does not
implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class
RTC system.

When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic
rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and
is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads
the RTC at boot.

Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used
first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers
need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for
PPC is included in this patch.

Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

Tested on ARM kirkwood and PPC405

Ingo noted that ACTHZ is a confusing name, and requested it
be renamed, so this patch renames ACTHZ to SHIFTED_HZ to
better describe it.

<id>urn:sha1:6b1859dba01c7d512b72d77e3fd7da8354235189</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d, I
introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit
from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex()
without forcing STA_PLL first.

Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared
until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this
affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it
took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS
was set.

<title>ntp: Correct TAI offset during leap second</title>

<content type='text'>
When repeating a UTC time value during a leap second (when the UTC
time should be 23:59:60), the TAI timescale should not stop. The kernel
NTP code increments the TAI offset one second too late. This patch fixes
the issue by incrementing the offset during the leap second itself.

<title>ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock</title>
<updated>2012-03-23T02:43:43Z</updated>
<author>
<name>John Stultz</name>
<email>john.stultz@linaro.org</email>
</author>
<published>2012-03-15T20:04:03Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 7dffa3c673fbcf835cd7be80bb4aec8ad3f51168 the ntp
subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond
adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock.

Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern:
CPU 0                                                    CPU 1
do_adjtimex()
  spin_lock_irq(&amp;ntp_lock);
    process_adjtimex_modes();				 timer_interrupt()
      process_adj_status();                                do_timer()
        ntp_start_leap_timer();                             write_lock(&amp;xtime_lock);
          hrtimer_start();                                  update_wall_time();
             hrtimer_reprogram();                            ntp_tick_length()
               tick_program_event()                            spin_lock(&amp;ntp_lock);
                 clockevents_program_event()
		   ktime_get()
                     seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock);

This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using
an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond
processing in the second_overflow() function.

The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres
timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary,
(ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ)  after the leap second instead of
possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic).

This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.
