This patchkit implements some ideas discussed in the earlier thread
to lower the lock contention of the broadcast state idle path:
- Do check for good C3 timer outside the lock
[Already in tip, but I'm including it to have a full patchkit]
- Change the global bitmask to avoid false sharing
- Exploit that thread siblings keep the timer alive
[This patch is unfortunately quite hairy and needs very indepth review]
This uses a lock, but only a local one for a core.
- Only take the global lock when the timeout of the broadcast device
is set earlier.
Longer term the global lock likely still needs to be eliminated, but
this at least makes it less pressing.
Comments/testing welcome. I didn't do a lot of scalability testing so far,
just ran a stress tester to make sure I didn't miss some case.

Avoid taking locks in the idle path for systems where the timer
doesn't stop in C3.

Avoid a global cache line hotspot in the oneshot cpu mask. Maintain
this information in per cpu variables instead.

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>
On SMT systems the thread siblings will keep the timer alive
in any power state. Teach the oneshot broadcast logic about this.
As long as any thread sibling is alive keep using the local timer
device. When we actually switch over to broadcast we need
to use the nearest timer expire of all the siblings.
This adds a new "slave" state: a slave is tied to another CPU.
When the other CPU goes idle too switch over all slaves
to broadcast timing.
This lowers locking contention on the broadcast lock and
general overhead.

Don't take the global lock when the new timeout is larger than the
old timeout.
The timeout on the broadcast device should never shrink, so this
is safe to do.

This patch causes a 128-cpu system to hang during boot. I've got a busy
weekend planned, so I might not get a chance to look at this much more
before Monday.
I tried fixing the problems I found below, but it still doesn't make it
all the way through the boot, so I'm missing something.

I don't understand this initialization. Won't the following loop
