      posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks · 0606f422
      Richard Cochran authored
      This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The
      clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is
      represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver
      may optionally implement custom character device operations.
      
      The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with
      dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
      The following system calls are affected:
      
         - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
         - clock_gettime
         - clock_getres
         - clock_settime
         - timer_create
         - timer_delete
         - timer_gettime
         - timer_settime
      
      [ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic
        	to posix-clock.c and made all referenced functions static ]

      time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for universal use · 57f1f087
      Zhaolei authored
      There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between
      calendar time and broken-down time.
      
      Here is some source I found:
        fs/ncpfs/dir.c
        fs/smbfs/proc.c
        fs/fat/misc.c
        fs/udf/udftime.c
        fs/cifs/netmisc.c
        net/netfilter/xt_time.c
        drivers/scsi/ips.c
        drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c
        drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c
        arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
        arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
        arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
        arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
        ...
      
      We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we
      can get following benefit:
      
      1: Make kernel simple and unify
      2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
      3: Reduce clone of code in future
         For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
         this patch will make me easy.
      
      This code is based on code from glibc-2.6

      [PATCH] tick-management: dyntick / highres functionality · 79bf2bb3
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
      
      Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers.  The code
      which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared
      between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks.  The dyntick
      functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline.  Provide also the
      infrastructure to support high resolution timers.

      Thomas Gleixner authored
      With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
      
      Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered
      as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand.  The broadcast
      function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event
      device.  This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from
      IPI in power states, where the apic stops.

      [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality · d316c57f
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
      Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use.  The
      clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
      related management events.
      
      This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
      having to worry about the details of function assignment.  This is also a
      preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
      code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
      architecture code.
