/*
 * This file contains the implementation of clock tick accounting for threads.
 * Every tick, user threads running on various CPUs are located and charged
 * with a tick to account for their use of CPU time.
 *
 * Every tick, the clock() handler calls clock_tick_schedule() to perform tick
 * accounting for all the threads in the system. Tick accounting is done in
 * two phases:
 *
 * Tick scheduling	Done in clock_tick_schedule(). In this phase, cross
 *			calls are scheduled to multiple CPUs to perform
 *			multi-threaded tick accounting. The CPUs are chosen
 *			on a rotational basis so as to distribute the tick
 *			accounting load evenly across all CPUs.
 *
 * Tick execution	Done in clock_tick_execute(). In this phase, tick
 *			accounting is actually performed by softint handlers
 *			on multiple CPUs.
 *
 * This implementation gives us a multi-threaded tick processing facility that
 * is suitable for configurations with a large number of CPUs. On smaller
 * configurations it may be desirable to let the processing be single-threaded
 * and just allow clock() to do it as it has been done traditionally. To
 * facilitate this, a variable, clock_tick_threshold, is defined. Platforms
 * that desire multi-threading should set this variable to something
 * appropriate. A recommended value may be found in clock_tick.h. At boot time,
 * if the number of CPUs is greater than clock_tick_threshold, multi-threading
 * kicks in. Note that this is a decision made at boot time. If more CPUs
 * are dynamically added later on to exceed the threshold, no attempt is made
 * to switch to multi-threaded. Similarly, if CPUs are removed dynamically
 * no attempt is made to switch to single-threaded. This is to keep the
 * implementation simple. Also note that the threshold can be changed for a
 * specific customer configuration via /etc/system.
 *
 * The boot time decision is reflected in clock_tick_single_threaded.
 */

/*
 * clock_tick_threshold
 *	If the number of CPUs at boot time exceeds this threshold,
 *	multi-threaded tick accounting kicks in.
 *
 * clock_tick_ncpus
 *	The number of CPUs in a set. Each set is scheduled for tick execution
 *	on a separate processor.
 *
 * clock_tick_single_threaded
 *	Indicates whether or not tick accounting is single threaded.
 *
 * clock_tick_total_cpus
 *	Total number of online CPUs.
 *
 * clock_tick_cpus
 *	Array of online CPU pointers.
 *
 * clock_tick_cpu
 *	Per-CPU, cache-aligned data structures to facilitate multi-threading.
 *
 * clock_tick_active
 *	Counter that indicates the number of active tick processing softints
 *	in the system.
 *
 * clock_tick_pending
 *	Number of pending ticks that need to be accounted by the softint
 *	handlers.
 *
 * clock_tick_lock
 *	Mutex to synchronize between clock_tick_schedule() and
 *	CPU online/offline.
 *
 * clock_cpu_id
 *	CPU id of the clock() CPU. Used to detect when the clock CPU
 *	is offlined.
 *
 * clock_tick_online_cpuset
 *	CPU set of all online processors that can be X-called.
 *
 * clock_tick_proc_max
 *	Each process is allowed to accumulate a few ticks before checking
 *	for the task CPU time resource limit. We lower the number of calls
 *	to rctl_test() to make tick accounting more scalable. The tradeoff
 *	is that the limit may not get enforced in a timely manner. This is
 *	typically not a problem.
 *
 * clock_tick_set
 *	Per-set structures. Each structure contains the range of CPUs
 *	to be processed for the set.
 *
 * clock_tick_nsets;
 *	Number of sets.
 *
 * clock_tick_scan
 *	Where to begin the scan for single-threaded mode. In multi-threaded,
 *	the clock_tick_set itself contains a field for this.
