A timer might be used as a pinned timer (using add_timer_on()) and later on
as non-pinned timer using add_timer(). When the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry
model" is in place, the TIMER_PINNED flag is required to be used whenever a
timer needs to expire on a dedicated CPU. Otherwise the flag must not be
set if expiration on a dedicated CPU is not required.

add_timer_on()'s behavior will be changed during the preparation patches
for the "NOHZ timer pull at expiry model" to unconditionally set the
TIMER_PINNED flag. To be able to clear/ set the flag when queueing a
timer, two variants of add_timer() are introduced.

This is a preparatory step and has no functional change.

When tick is stopped also the timer base is_idle flag is set. When
reentering timer_base_try_to_set_idle() with the tick stopped, there is no
need to check whether the timer base needs to be set idle again. When a
timer was enqueued in the meantime, this is already handled by the
tick_nohz_next_event() call which was executed before
tick_nohz_stop_tick().

The timer base is marked idle when get_next_timer_interrupt() is
executed. But the decision whether the tick will be stopped and whether the
system is able to go idle is done later. When the timer bases is marked
idle and a new first timer is enqueued remote an IPI is raised. Even if it
is not required because the tick is not stopped and the timer base is
evaluated again at the next tick.

To prevent this, the timer base is marked idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick() and
get_next_timer_interrupt() is streamlined by only looking for the next timer
interrupt. All other work is postponed to timer_base_try_to_set_idle() which is
called by tick_nohz_stop_tick(). timer_base_try_to_set_idle() never resets
timer_base::is_idle state. This is done when the tick is restarted via
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().

With this, tick_sched::tick_stopped and timer_base::is_idle are always in
sync. So there is no longer the need to execute timer_clear_idle() in
tick_nohz_idle_retain_tick(). This was required before, as
tick_nohz_next_event() set timer_base::is_idle even if the tick would not be
stopped. So timer_clear_idle() is only executed, when timer base is idle. So the
check whether timer base is idle, is now no longer required as well.

While at it fix some nearby whitespace damage as well.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:

    clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
    wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
    tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
    TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
    sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
    clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
    clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet

The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.

The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.

There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.

Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

So far, get_device_system_crosststamp() unconditionally passes
system_counterval.cycles to timekeeping_cycles_to_ns(). But when
interpolating system time (do_interp == true), system_counterval.cycles is
before tkr_mono.cycle_last, contrary to the timekeeping_cycles_to_ns()
expectations.

On x86, CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE will mitigate on
interpolating, setting delta to 0. With delta == 0, xtstamp->sys_monoraw
and xtstamp->sys_realtime are then set to the last update time, as
implicitly expected by adjust_historical_crosststamp(). On other
architectures, the resulting nonsense xtstamp->sys_monoraw and
xtstamp->sys_realtime corrupt the xtstamp (ts) adjustment in
adjust_historical_crosststamp().

Fix this by deriving xtstamp->sys_monoraw and xtstamp->sys_realtime from
the last update time when interpolating, by using the local variable
"cycles". The local variable already has the right value when
interpolating, unlike system_counterval.cycles.

The cycle_between() helper checks if parameter test is in the open interval
(before, after). Colloquially speaking, this also applies to the counter
wrap-around special case before > after. get_device_system_crosststamp()
currently uses cycle_between() at the first call site to decide whether to
interpolate for older counter readings.

get_device_system_crosststamp() has the following problem with
cycle_between() testing against an open interval: Assume that, by chance,
cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last (in the following, "cycle_last" for
brevity). Then, cycle_between() at the first call site, with effective
argument values cycle_between(cycle_last, cycles, now), returns false,
enabling interpolation. During interpolation,
get_device_system_crosststamp() will then call cycle_between() at the
second call site (if a history_begin was supplied). The effective argument
values are cycle_between(history_begin->cycles, cycles, cycles), since
system_counterval.cycles == interval_start == cycles, per the assumption.
Due to the test against the open interval, cycle_between() returns false
again. This causes get_device_system_crosststamp() to return -EINVAL.

This failure should be avoided, since get_device_system_crosststamp() works
both when cycles follows cycle_last (no interpolation), and when cycles
precedes cycle_last (interpolation). For the case cycles == cycle_last,
interpolation is actually unneeded.

Fix this by changing cycle_between() into timestamp_in_interval(), which
now checks against the closed interval, rather than the open interval.

This changes the get_device_system_crosststamp() behavior for three corner
cases:

1. Bypass interpolation in the case cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last,
   fixing the problem described above.

2. At the first timestamp_in_interval() call site, cycles == now no longer
   causes failure.

3. At the second timestamp_in_interval() call site, history_begin->cycles
   == system_counterval.cycles no longer causes failure.
   adjust_historical_crosststamp() also works for this corner case,
   where partial_history_cycles == total_history_cycles.

These behavioral changes should not cause any problems.

Pull char / miscdriver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here is a small set of char/misc and IIO driver fixes for 6.8-rc5.

  Included in here are:

   - lots of iio driver fixes for reported issues

   - nvmem device naming fixup for reported problem

   - interconnect driver fixes for reported issues

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported the
  issues (the nvmem patch was included in a different branch in
  linux-next before sent to me for inclusion here)"
