5c78b26545 clockevents/drivers/dummy_timer: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface
Migrate dummy_timer driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

We weren't doing anything in the ->set_mode() callback. So, this patch
doesn't provide any set-state callbacks.

22127e93c5 time: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
Convert uses of __get_cpu_var for creating a address from a percpu
offset to this_cpu_ptr.

The two cases where get_cpu_var is used to actually access a percpu
variable are changed to use this_cpu_read/raw_cpu_read.

8daa127f4e clocksource, dummy-timer: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the clocksource dummy-timer code by using this latter form of callback
registration.

8c37bb3ac9 clocksource+irqchip: delete __cpuinit usage from all related files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the drivers/clocksource and drivers/irqchip uses of
the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

064706514e clocksource: Add generic dummy timer driver
Several architectures have a dummy timer driver tightly coupled with
their broadcast code to support machines without cpu-local timers (or
where there is a lack of driver support).

Since 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled
from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement
a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures
with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST).

This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.

[sboyd: Make percpu data static, use __this_cpu_ptr(), move to
        early_initcall to properly register on each CPU, only
	register if more than one CPU possible]
