[RFC PATCH v3 13/21] x86/watchdog/hardlockup/hpet: Determine if HPET timer caused NMI

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

The only direct method to determine whether an HPET timer caused an
interrupt is to read the Interrupt Status register. Unfortunately,
reading HPET registers is slow and, therefore, it is not recommended to
read them while in NMI context. Furthermore, status is not available if
the interrupt is generated vi the Front Side Bus.

An indirect manner to infer if the non-maskable interrupt we see was
caused by the HPET timer is to use the time-stamp counter. Compute the
value that the time-stamp counter should have at the next interrupt of the
HPET timer. Since the hardlockup detector operates in seconds, high
precision is not needed. This implementation considers that the HPET
caused the HMI if the time-stamp counter reads the expected value -/+ 1.5%.
This value is selected as it is equivalent to 1/64 and the division can be
performed using a bit shift operation. Experimentally, the error in the
estimation is consistently less than 1%.

The computation of the expected value of the time-stamp counter must be
performed in relation to watchdog_thresh divided by the number of
monitored CPUs. This quantity is stored in tsc_ticks_per_cpu and must be
updated whenever the number of monitored CPUs changes.
