mainlining shenanigans

We use jiffies to determine when wait expires. However Imre did find out that jiffies can and will do a >1 increments on certain situations [1]. When this happens in a wait_for loop, we return timeout errorneously much earlier than what the real wallclock would say. We can't afford our waits to timeout prematurely. Discard jiffies and change to ktime to detect timeouts. v2: added bugzilla entry (Imre), added stable (Chris) Reported-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/18/798 [1] Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105771 Cc: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180423113754.28424-1-mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
