Marcelo Tosatti e891a32e7a KVM: x86: remove irq disablement around KVM_SET_CLOCK/KVM_GET_CLOCK
The disablement of interrupts at KVM_SET_CLOCK/KVM_GET_CLOCK
attempts to disable software suspend from causing "non atomic behaviour" of
the operation:

    Add a helper function to compute the kernel time and convert nanoseconds
    back to CPU specific cycles.  Note that these must not be called in preemptible
    context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state,
    which would cause non-atomic operation.

However, assume the kernel can enter software suspend at the following 2 points:

        ktime_get_ts(&ts);
1.
						hypothetical_ktime_get_ts(&ts)
        monotonic_to_bootbased(&ts);
2.

monotonic_to_bootbased() should be correct relative to a ktime_get_ts(&ts)
performed after point 1 (that is after resuming from software suspend),
hypothetical_ktime_get_ts()

Therefore it is also correct for the ktime_get_ts(&ts) before point 1,
which is

	ktime_get_ts(&ts) = hypothetical_ktime_get_ts(&ts) + time-to-execute-suspend-code

Note CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not count during suspension.

So remove the irq disablement, which causes the following warning on
-RT kernels:

 With this reasoning, and the -RT bug that the irq disablement causes
 (because spin_lock is now a sleeping lock), remove the IRQ protection as it
 causes:

v3: remove useless helper function (Pankaj).

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.
