0031  * cnt32_to_63 - Expand a 32-bit counter to a 63-bit counter
0032  * @cnt_lo: The low part of the counter
0033  *
0034  * Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have
0035  * a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent.  This
0036  * is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit
0037  * non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned.
0038  *
0039  * To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits
0040  * in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided
0041  * by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory.  The top bit in
0042  * memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period.  When
0043  * the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the
0044  * memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware
0045  * counter wraps around.
0046  *
0047  * Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will
0048  * always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent
0049  * reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the
0050  * needed increment.  And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless
0051  * as the same value would simply be stored more than once.
0052  *
0053  * The restrictions for the algorithm to work properly are:
0054  *
0055  * 1) this code must be called at least once per each half period of the
0056  *    32-bit counter;
0057  *
0058  * 2) this code must not be preempted for a duration longer than the
0059  *    32-bit counter half period minus the longest period between two
0060  *    calls to this code;
0061  *
0062  * Those requirements ensure proper update to the state bit in memory.
0063  * This is usually not a problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel
0064  * timer should be scheduled to manage for this code to be executed often
0065  * enough.
0066  *
0067  * And finally:
0068  *
0069  * 3) the cnt_lo argument must be seen as a globally incrementing value,
0070  *    meaning that it should be a direct reference to the counter data which
0071  *    can be evaluated according to a specific ordering within the macro,
0072  *    and not the result of a previous evaluation stored in a variable.
0073  *
0074  * For example, this is wrong:
0075  *
0076  *  u32 partial = get_hw_count();
0077  *  u64 full = cnt32_to_63(partial);
0078  *  return full;
0079  *
0080  * This is fine:
0081  *
0082  *  u64 full = cnt32_to_63(get_hw_count());
0083  *  return full;
0084  *
0085  * Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered
0086  * as garbage.  It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a
0087  * multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit
0088  * implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime
0089  * clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top
0090  * bit explicitly.
