delay_32.c, delay_64.c are now equal, and are integrated into delay.c.

For x86_64, we can't just use %0, as it would
generate a mul against rdx, which is not really what we
want (note the ">> 32" in x86_64 version).
Using a u64 variable with a shift in i386 generates bad code,
so the solution is to explicitly use %%edx in inline assembly
for both.

This is for consistency with i386. We call use_tsc_delay()
at tsc initialization for x86_64, so we'll be always using it.

The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows
up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms!
Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency.
pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt
)
pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and
returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after
the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later!
At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But
I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call.
pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay)
Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem.
In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton
placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working
nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this
is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8).
Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task
migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by
the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum
time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.
[
Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated,
and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable.

- All implementations can be __devinit
- The function prototypes were in asm/timex.h but they all must be the same,
so create a single declaration in linux/timex.h.
- uninline the sparc64 version to match the other architectures
- Don't bother #defining ARCH_HAS_READ_CURRENT_TIMER to a particular value.

Marin Mitov points out that delay_tsc() can misbehave if it is preempted and
rescheduled on a different CPU which has a skewed TSC. Fix it by disabling
preemption.
(I assume that the worst-case behaviour here is a stall of 2^32 cycles)

cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
3,145,728 bytes.
These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An
additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().
cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
case.
