sched_clock: Expose struct clock_read_data

In order to support perf_event_mmap_page::cap_time features, an
architecture needs, aside from a userspace readable counter register,
to expose the exact clock data so that userspace can convert the
counter register into a correct timestamp.

Provide struct clock_read_data and two (seqcount) helpers so that
architectures (arm64 in specific) can expose the numbers to userspace.

sched/clock: Move sched clock initialization and merge with generic clock

sched_clock_postinit() initializes a generic clock on systems where no
other clock is provided. This function may be called only after
timekeeping_init().

Rename sched_clock_postinit to generic_clock_inti() and call it from
sched_clock_init(). Move the call for sched_clock_init() until after
time_init().

# 364eba4b 29-Oct-2015 Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

time: Define dummy functions for the generic sched clock

When we try to compile a clocksource driver with the COMPILE_TEST option,
we can't select the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK because the sched_clock() symbol
will be duplicated with the one defined for the x86.

In order to fix that, we don't select the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK in the
driver Kconfig's file but we define some empty functions for the different
symbols in order to prevent the unresolved ones.

This patch fixes the COMPILE_TEST option for the compile test coverage for
the clocksource drivers. Without this patch, we can't add the COMPILE_TEST
option for the clocksource drivers using the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK.

sched_clock: Add support for >32 bit sched_clock

The ARM architected system counter has at least 56 usable bits.
Add support for counters with more than 32 bits to the generic
sched_clock implementation so we can increase the time between
wakeups due to dealing with wrap-around on these devices while
benefiting from the irqtime accounting and suspend/resume
handling that the generic sched_clock code already has. On my
system using 56 bits over 32 bits changes the wraparound time
from a few minutes to an hour. For faster running counters (GHz
range) this is even more important because we may not be able to
execute the timer in time to deal with the wraparound if only 32
bits are used.

We choose a maxsec value of 3600 seconds because we assume no
system will go idle for more than an hour. In the future we may
need to increase this value.

Note: All users should switch over to the 64-bit read function so
we can remove setup_sched_clock() in favor of sched_clock_register().

sched_clock: Make ARM's sched_clock generic for all architectures
