As suggested by Ingo, revert r42648 and apply patch from Alex Smith provided in #7872. Thanks!

Disable interrupts when updating real time clock. Fixes #7872. Seems to have been introduced in r42116.

Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

* Cleaned up the code which also closes CID 176 which was not a bug, though.

set_hardware_timer() would sometimes (on boot) pass a negative timeout to
arch_timer_set_hardware_timer(). This was harmless, at least with our
current x86 timers implementation, since they checked for minimum timeouts.
Very small cleanup (now that the file is compiled as C++).

* All scheduler implementations:
- enqueue_in_run_queue() no longer returns whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen. Instead is sets cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler on the current CPU.
- reschedule() does now handle cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler_if_idle(). No need
to let all callers do that.
* thread_unblock[_locked]() no longer return whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen.
* Got rid of the B_INVOKE_SCHEDULER handling. The interrupt hooks really
can't know, when it makes sense to reschedule or not.
* Introduced scheduler_reschedule_if_necessary[_locked]() functions for
checking+invoking the scheduler.
* Some semaphore functions (e.g. delete_sem()) invoke the scheduler now, if
they wake up anything with greater priority.
I've also tried to add scheduler invocations in the condition variable and
mutex/rw_lock code, but that actually has a negative impact on performance,
probably because it causes too much ping-ponging between threads when
multiple locking primitives are involved.

When any of the executed timer hooks return B_INVOKE_SCHEDULER, let
timer_interrupt() return B_INVOKE_SCHEDULER. The scheduler itself uses a
timer hook and relies on scheduler_reschedule() to be called. Will make this
even more reliable in the next commit.
This might fix #3535.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@34614 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<arch/cpu.h>.

* Made waiting for a timer handler more power usage friendly.
* Minor cleanup.

* cancel_timer():
- If the hook of the timer we're cancelling is currently being
executed, we do now wait till it is finished. This is how the BeBook
specifies the function to behave.
- Periodic timers would not be cancelled, if their hook was being
invoked at the same time, since they weren't in the queue during
that time.
- Since we know the CPU on which the timer is scheduled (timer::cpu),
we don't have to look through any other CPU queue to find it.
- Fixed the return value. It should report whether the timer had
already fired, and was not always doing that.
* Added private add_timer() flag B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK. It causes
the thread spinlock to be acquired before the event hook is called.
cancel_timer() doesn't wait for timers with the flag set. Instead we
check in the timer interrupt function after acquiring the thread
spinlock whether the timer was cancelled in the meantime. Calling
cancel_timer() with the thread spinlock being held does thus avoid any
race conditions and won't deadlock, if the event hook needs to acquire
the thread spinlock, too. This feature proves handy for some kernel
internal needs.
* The scheduler uses a B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK timer now and
cancel_timer() instead of the no longer needed
_local_timer_cancel_event().
