When a new clockevent device is added and replaces a previous device,
the latter is put into the released list. Then the released list is
added back.
This may look counter-intuitive but the reason is that released device
might be suitable for other uses. For example a released CPU regular
clockevent can be a better replacement for the current broadcast event.
Similarly a released broadcast clockevent can be a better replacement
for the current regular clockevent of a given CPU.
Improve comments stating about these subtleties.

secs_to_jiffies() is defined in hci_event.c and cannot be reused by
other call sites. Hoist it into the core code to allow conversion of the
~1150 usages of msecs_to_jiffies() that either:
- use a multiplier value of 1000 or equivalently MSEC_PER_SEC, or
- have timeouts that are denominated in seconds (i.e. end in 000)
It's implemented as a macro to allow usage in static initializers.
This will also allow conversion of yet more sites that use (sec * HZ)
directly, and improve their readability.

Right now the state tracking is done by two struct members:
- it_active:
A boolean which tracks armed/disarmed state
- it_signal_seq:
A sequence counter which is used to invalidate settings
and prevent rearming
Replace it_active with it_status and keep properly track about the states
in one place.
This allows to reuse it_signal_seq to track reprogramming, disarm and
delete operations in order to drop signals which are related to the state
previous of those operations.

No point in delivering a signal from the past. POSIX does not specify the
behaviour here:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed.
Drop the signal as that is conistent and understandable behaviour.

In case that a timer was reprogrammed or deleted an already pending signal
is obsolete. Right now such signals are kept around and eventually
delivered. While POSIX is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration

- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is

The si_sys_private member of the siginfo which is embedded in the
preallocated sigqueue is used by the posix timer code to decide whether a
timer must be reprogrammed on signal delivery.
The handling of this is racy as a long standing comment in that code
documents. It is modified with the timer lock held, but without sighand
lock being held. The actual signal delivery code checks for it under
sighand lock without holding the timer lock.
Hand the new value to send_sigqueue() as argument and store it with sighand
lock held. This is an intermediate change to address this issue.
The arguments to this function will be cleanup in subsequent changes.

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.
Convert do_adjtimex() to use this scheme and take the opportunity to use a
scoped_guard() for locking.
That requires to have a separate function for updating the leap state so
that the update is protected by the sequence count. This also brings the
timekeeper and the shadow timekeeper in sync for this state, which was not
the case so far. That's not a correctness problem as the state is only used
at the read sides which use the real timekeeper, but it's inconsistent
nevertheless.

Functions which operate on the real timekeeper, e.g. do_settimeofday(),
have error conditions. If they are hit a full timekeeping update is still
required because the already committed operations modified the timekeeper.

full update can be avoided in the error case, but the modified shadow

Updates of the timekeeper are done in two ways:
1. Updating timekeeper and afterwards memcpy()'ing the result into
shadow_timekeeper using timekeeping_update(). Used everywhere for
updates except in timekeeping_advance(); the sequence counter protected
region starts before the first change to the timekeeper is done.
2. Updating shadow_timekeeper and then memcpy()'ing the result into
timekeeper. Used only by in timekeeping_advance(); The seqence counter
protected region is only around timekeeping_update() and the memcpy for
copy from shadow to timekeeper.
The second option is fast path optimized. The sequence counter protected
region is as short as possible.
As this behaviour is mainly documented by commit messages, but not in code,
it makes the not easy timekeeping code more complicated to read.
There is no reason why updates to the timekeeper can't use the optimized
version everywhere. With this, the code will be cleaner, as code is reused
instead of duplicated.
To be able to access tk_data which contains all required information, add a
pointer to tk_data as an argument to timekeeping_update(). With that
convert the comment about holding the lock into a lockdep assert.

struct timekeeper is ordered suboptimal vs. cachelines. The layout,
including the preceding seqcount (see struct tk_core in timekeeper.c) is:
cacheline 0: seqcount, tkr_mono
cacheline 1: tkr_raw, xtime_sec
cacheline 2: ktime_sec ... tai_offset, internal variables
cacheline 3: next_leap_ktime, raw_sec, internal variables
cacheline 4: internal variables
So any access to via ktime_get*() except for access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
will use either cachelines 0 + 1 or cachelines 0 + 2. Access to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW uses cachelines 0 + 1 + 3.
Reorder the members so that the result is more efficient:
cacheline 0: seqcount, tkr_mono
cacheline 1: xtime_sec, ktime_sec ... tai_offset
cacheline 2: tkr_raw, raw_sec
cacheline 3: internal variables
cacheline 4: internal variables
That means ktime_get*() will access cacheline 0 + 1 and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
access will use cachelines 0 + 2.

hard_pps() update does not modify anything which might be required by time
readers so forcing readers out of the way during the update is a pointless
exercise.
The interaction with adjtimex() and timekeeper updates which call into the
NTP code is properly serialized by timekeeper_lock.

callback
Since SLOB was removed and since commit 6c6c47b063b5 ("mm, slab: call
kvfree_rcu_barrier() from kmem_cache_destroy()"), it is not longer
necessary to use call_rcu() when the callback only performs
kmem_cache_free(). Use kfree_rcu() directly.
The changes were made using Coccinelle.

The documentation which tries to give advices how to properly inserting
delays or sleeps is outdated. The file name is 'timers-howto.rst' which
might be misleading as it is only about delay and sleep mechanisms and not
how to use timers.
Update the documentation by integrating the important parts from the
related function descriptions and move it all into a self explaining file
with the name "delay_sleep_functions.rst".

anysee driver was transformed to use usbv2 years ago. The comments in
anysee_ctrl_msg() still are referencing the old interfaces where msleep()
was used. The v2 interfaces also changed over the years and with commit
1162c7b383a6 ("[media] dvb_usb_v2: refactor dvb_usbv2_generic_rw()") the
usage of msleep() was gone anyway.
Remove FIXME comment and update also comment before call to
dvb_usbv2_generic_rw_locked().

When commit 38f7b7067dae ("powerpc/rtas: rtas_busy_delay() improvements")
was introduced, documentation about proper usage of sleep related functions
was outdated.
The commit message references the usage of a HZ=100 system. When using a
20ms sleep duration on such a system and therefore using msleep(), the
possible additional slack will be +10ms.
When the system is configured with HZ=100 the granularity of a jiffy and of
a bucket of the lowest timer wheel level is 10ms. To make sure a timer will
not expire early (when queueing of the timer races with an concurrent
update of jiffies), timers are always queued into the next bucket. This is
the reason for the maximal possible slack of 10ms.
fsleep() limits the maximal possible slack to 25% by making threshold
between usleep_range() and msleep() HZ dependent. As soon as the accuracy
of msleep() is sufficient, the less expensive timer list timer based
sleeping function is used instead of the more expensive hrtimer based
usleep_range() function. The udelay() will not be used in this specific
usecase as the lowest sleep length is larger than 1 millisecond.
Use fsleep() directly instead of using an own heuristic for the best
sleeping mechanism to use.

Function descriptions in iopoll.h, regmap.h, phy.h and sound/soc/sof/ops.h
copied all the same outdated documentation about sleep/delay function
limitations. In those comments, the generic (and still outdated) timer
documentation file is referenced.
As proper function descriptions for used delay and sleep functions are in
place, simply update the descriptions to reference to them. While at it fix
missing colon after "Returns" in function description and move return value
description to the end of the function description.

fsleep() simply implements the recommendations of the outdated
documentation in "Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst". This should be a
user friendly interface to choose always the best timeout function
approach:
- udelay() for very short sleep durations shorter than 10 microseconds
- usleep_range() for sleep durations until 20 milliseconds
- msleep() for the others
The actual implementation has several problems:
- It does not take into account that HZ resolution also has an impact on
granularity of jiffies and has also an impact on the granularity of the
buckets of timer wheel levels. This means that accuracy for the timeout
does not have an upper limit. When executing fsleep(20000) on a HZ=100
system, the possible additional slack will be 50% as the granularity of
the buckets in the lowest level is 10 milliseconds.
- The upper limit of usleep_range() is twice the requested timeout. When no
other interrupts occur in this range, the maximum value is used. This
means that the requested sleep length has then an additional delay of
100%.
Change the thresholds for the decisions in fsleep() to make sure the
maximum slack which is added to the sleep duration is 25%.
Note: Outdated documentation will be updated in a followup patch.

udelay() as well as ndelay() are defines and no functions and are using
constants to be able to transform a sleep time into loops and to prevent
too long udelays/ndelays. There was a compiler error with non-const 8 bit
arguments which was fixed by commit a87e553fabe8 ("asm-generic: delay.h fix
udelay and ndelay for 8 bit args"). When using a function, the non-const 8
bit argument is type casted and the problem would be gone.
Transform udelay() and ndelay() into proper functions, remove the no longer
and confusing division, add defines for the magic values and add some
explanations as well.

All schedule_timeout() and *sleep*() related functions are interfaces on
top of timer list timers and hrtimers to add a sleep to the code. As they
are built on top of the timer list timers and hrtimers, the [hr]timer
interfaces are already used except when queuing the timer in
schedule_timeout(). But there exists the appropriate interface add_timer()
which does the same job with an extra check for an already pending timer.
Split all those functions as they are into a separate file and use
add_timer() instead of __mod_timer() in schedule_timeout().
While at it fix minor formatting issues and a multi line printk function
call in schedule_timeout().
