clocksource: dw_apb_timer: Make CPU-affiliation being optional

Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds each clockevent timers to a
particular CPU. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing
the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any CPU
core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we can be sure
that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't correct. By doing
so we just set an extra limitation on device usage. This also doesn't
reflect the device actual capability, since by setting the IRQ affinity
we can make it virtually local to any CPU. Secondly imagine if you had a
real CPU-local timer with the same rating and the same CPU-affinity.
In this case if DW APB timer was registered first, then due to the
clockevent framework tick-timer selection procedure we'll end up with the
real CPU-local timer being left unselected for clock-events tracking. But
on most of the platforms (MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded
into the CPU core and are accessible with much better performance then
devices placed on APB. For instance in MIPS architectures there is
r4k-timer, which is CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally
its clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one.

So in order to fix all of these issues let's make the DW APB Timer CPU
affinity being optional and deactivated by passing a negative CPU id,
which will effectively set the DW APB clockevent timer cpumask to
'cpu_possible_mask'.

clocksource: Replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). The early boot setup_irq()
invocations happen either via 'init_IRQ()' or 'time_init()', while
memory allocators are ready by 'mm_init()'.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

Seldom remove_irq() usage has been observed coupled with setup_irq(),
wherever that has been found, it too has been replaced by free_irq().

A build error that was reported by kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com>
in the previous version of the patch also has been fixed.

clockevents/drivers/dw_apb: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Make the dw_apb clockevent driver initialize these fields properly.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
driver.

clockevents/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Implement ->set_state_oneshot_stopped()

The dw_apb_timer only "supports PERIODIC mode and their drivers emulate
ONESHOT over that" as described in commit 8fff52fd5093 ("clockevents:
Introduce CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT_STOPPED state").

Inspired by Viresh, I think the dw_apb_timer also needs to implement
the set_state_oneshot_stopped() which is called by the clkevt core,
when the next event is required at an expiry time of 'KTIME_MAX'. This
normally happens with NO_HZ_{IDLE|FULL} in both LOWRES/HIGHRES modes.

This patch makes the clockevent device to stop on such an event, to
avoid spurious interrupts, as explained by the above commit.

clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Fix apbt_readl return types

On Marvell BG4CT platform, we observed the __apbt_read_clocksource()
return wrong value: Let's assume the APBTMR_N_CURRENT_VALUE value is
0xf0000000, we got 0xffffffff0fffffff, but it should be 0xfffffff.

This issue should be common on all 64bit platforms. We fix the issue
by letting aptb_readl() return u32. apbt_writel() is also updated
to write u32 val rather than unsigned long.

clockevents/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Add dynamic irq flag to the timer

Commit d2348fb6fdc6 ("tick: Dynamically set broadcast irq affinity")
adds one excellent feature CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ to let the core set the
interrupt affinity of the broadcast interrupt to the cpu which has the
earliest expiry time. This patch adds CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ flag to
avoid unnecessary wakeups and IPIs when the dw_apb_timer is used as
broadcast timer.

A simple test:
~ # rm /tmp/test.sh
~ # cat > /tmp/test.sh
cat /proc/interrupts
for i in `seq 10` ; do sleep $i; done
cat /proc/interrupts
~ # chmod +x /tmp/test.sh
~ # taskset 0x2 /tmp/test.sh

I'm leaving it to the arm-soc folks to sort out if they want

dw_apb_timer_of.c: Remove parts that were picoxcell-specific

It seems we made a mistake when creating dw_apb_timer_of.c:
picoxcell sched_clock had parts that were not related to
dw_apb_timer, yet we moved them to dw_apb_timer_of, and tried to
use them on socfpga.

This results in system where user/system time is not measured
properly, as demonstrated by

time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=100000 count=100

So this patch switches sched_clock to hardware that exists on both
platforms, and adds missing of_node_put() in dw_apb_timer_init().
