Merge tag 'timers-core-2026-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for
frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer:

- Better timer locality decision

- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing
a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which
both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.

- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the
need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where
the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick
timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or
soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule
point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed
in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes
stale.

- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents

The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.

As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.

- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.

With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other
hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations.

- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the
hrtimer and timekeeping code.

- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.

The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design,
which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is
based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC)
can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource
(HPET/ACPI-PM timer).

Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.

The rewrite addresses this by:

- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to
the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).

- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other
CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.

- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts

- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

The generic CC_CAN_LINK detection does not handle different byte orders

Use architecture-specific logic supporting byte orders instead.

Modern 64-bit toolchains default to a n32 libc, which are not
supported by all kernel configurations, as MIPS32_N32 is optional.
On 64-bit, test for a n32 ABI libc first and fall back to o64 and
o32 if necessary.
