The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports (
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the
current check only triggers in 50% of all cases, leading to catastrophic
timer behaviour. To fix this issue, expand the check for monotonicity by
doing ten consecutive tests instead of one.
clocksource, acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata mode
On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
(i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
hardware is usable.
ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC sync
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).
If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.
Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.
As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.
This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

[MIPS] Probe initrd header only if explicitly specified
Currently init_initrd() probes initrd header at the last page of kernel
image, but it is valid only if addinitrd was used. If addinitrd was not

header (magic number is not strictly robust).

probing.

trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to
get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts
are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces
a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and
additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.
