[PATCH 1/3] vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig

[Frederic Weisbecker]

From: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org>

With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.

This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.

[PATCH 2/3] nohz: Drop generic vtime obsolete dependency on CONFIG_64BIT

[Frederic Weisbecker]

From: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org>

The CONFIG_64BIT requirement on vtime can finally be removed
since we now depend on HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which
already takes care of the arch ability to handle nsecs based
cputime_t safely.

[PATCH 3/3] ARM: Kconfig: allow full nohz CPU accounting

[Frederic Weisbecker]

From: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org>

With the 64-bit requirement removed from VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN,
allow ARM platforms to enable it.  Since VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is a
dependency for full NO_HZ, this allows ARM platforms to enable full
NO_HZ as well.
