Suresh Siddha cd7240c0b9 x86, tsc, sched: Recompute cyc2ns_offset's during resume from sleep states
TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.

This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.

This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.

Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.

Thomas Gleixner 2d826404f0 x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_ops
TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by
separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as
well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and
override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware
hypervisor.

Ingo Molnar 4fcc50abdf x86: clean up vget_cycles()
Impact: remove unused variable

I forgot to remove the now unused "cycles_t cycles" parameter from
vget_cycles() - which triggers build warnings as tsc.h is included
in a number of files.

Remove it.

Ingo Molnar cb9e35dce9 x86: clean up rdtsc_barrier() use
Impact: cleanup

Move rdtsc_barrier() use to vsyscall_64.c where it's relied on,
and point out its role in the context of its use.

Ingo Molnar 0d12cdd5f8 sched: improve sched_clock() performance
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

 659567 system_call                              41222.9375
 686796 schedule                                 435.7843
 718382 __switch_to                              665.1685
 823875 switch_mm                                4526.7857
 1883122 native_read_tsc                          55385.9412
 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

H. Peter Anvin 1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
