Sudeep Holla fbfa926008 clockevents: Warn if cpu_all_mask is used as cpumask
Using cpu_all_mask in clockevents cpumask may result in issues while
comparing multiple clockevent devices to choose the preferred one.

On one of the platforms with 2 system (i.e. non per-CPU) timers with
different ratings, having cpu_all_mask for one of the device resulted in a
boot hang due to a endless loop in clockevents_notify_released() as both
were clocksources were selected as preferred.

In order to prevent such issues in the future, warn if any clockevent
driver sets cpu_all_mask as it's cpumask and just override it to use
cpu_possible_mask. All the existing occurrences of cpu_all_mask are already
replaced with cpu_possible_mask.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
