For each CPU, do the calibration delay only once. For subsequent calls,
use the cached per-CPU value of loops_per_jiffy.
This saves about 200ms of resume time on dual core Intel Atom N5xx based
systems. This helps bring down the kernel resume time on such systems
from about 500ms to about 300ms.

Secondary CPU bringup typically calls calibrate_delay() during its
initialization. However, calibrate_delay() modifies a global variable
(loops_per_jiffy) used for udelay() and __delay().
A side effect of 71c696b1 ("calibrate: extract fall-back calculation
into own helper") introduced in the 2.6.39 merge window means that we
end up with a substantial period where loops_per_jiffy is zero. This
causes the spinlock debugging code to malfunction:
u64 loops = loops_per_jiffy * HZ;
for (;;) {
for (i = 0; i < loops; i++) {
if (arch_spin_trylock(&lock->raw_lock))
return;
__delay(1);
}
...
}
by never calling arch_spin_trylock() - resulting in the CPU locking
up in an infinite loop inside __spin_lock_debug().
Work around this by only writing to loops_per_jiffy only once we have
completed all the calibration decisions.

Better solutions (such as omitting the calibration for secondary CPUs,
or arranging for calibrate_delay() to return the LPJ value and leave
it to the caller to decide where to store it) are a possibility, but
would be much more invasive into each architecture.
I think this is the best solution for -rc and stable, but it should be
revisited for the next merge window.

A fix to the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) based bogoMIPS calculation used on
secondary CPUs which has two faults:
1: Not handling wrapping of the lower 32 bits of the TSC counter on
32bit kernel - perhaps TSC is not reset by a warm reset?
2: TSC and Jiffies are no incrementing together properly. Either
jiffies increment too quickly or Time Stamp Counter isn't incremented
in during an SMI but the real time clock is and jiffies are
incremented.
Case 1 can result in a factor of 16 too large a value which makes udelay()
values too small and can cause mysterious driver errors. Case 2 appears
to give smaller 10-15% errors after averaging but enough to cause
occasional failures on my own board
I have tested this code on my own branch and attach patch suitable for
current kernel code. See below for examples of the failures and how the
fix handles these situations now.
I reported this issue earlier here:
Intermittent problem with BogoMIPs calculation on Intel AP CPUs -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129947246316875&w=4
I suspect this issue has been seen by others but as it is intermittent and
bogoMIPS for secondary CPUs are no longer printed out it might have been
difficult to identify this as the cause. Perhaps these unresolved issues,
although quite old, might be relevant as possibly this fault has been
around for a while. In particular Case 1 may only be relevant to 32bit
kernels on newer HW (most people run 64bit kernels?). Case 2 is less
dramatic since the earlier fix in this area and also intermittent.

This issue is masked a little by commit feae3203d7 ("timers, init:
Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages") which only
prints out the first bogoMIPS value making it much harder to notice other
values differing. Perhaps it should be changed to only suppress them when
they are similar values?
Here are some outputs showing faults occurring and the new code handling
them properly. See my earlier message for examples of the original
failure.

Systems with unmaskable interrupts such as SMIs may massively
underestimate loops_per_jiffy, and fail to converge anywhere near the real
value. A case seen on x86_64 was an initial estimate of 256<<12, which
converged to 511<<12 where the real value should have been over 630<<12.
This admitedly requires bypassing the TSC calibration (lpj_fine), and a
failure to settle in the direct calibration too, but is physically
possible. This failure does not depend on my previous calibration
optimisation, but by luck is easy to fix with the optimisation in place
with a trivial retry loop.
In the context of the optimised converging method, as we can no longer
trust the starting estimate, enlarge the search bounds exponentially so
that the number of retries is logarithmically bounded.

Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.
If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.
E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps. To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has <1/4th of the overhead, and can therefore be expected
to underestimate by only 7 steps.
As now we have a better initial estimate we can binary chop over a smaller
range. With the loop overhead in the initial estimate kept low, and the
step sizes moderate, we won't have under-estimated by much, so chose as
tight a range as we can.

The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform. This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.
Patch 2/4 has two optimisations. Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy. Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.
The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation). Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.
Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.

This is almost entirely cosmetic. The only change to the operation
is that the global variable is only set once after the estimation is
completed, rather than taking on all the intermediate values. However,
there are no readers of that variable, so this change is unimportant.

On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
resulting in the guest panicking.
Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
printk to print the bogomips value.
We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
frequency.

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.
Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.
It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).
Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3) Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate
Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).
Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.
Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.
