clockintr: remove clockintr_init(), clockintr_flags

All the state initialization once done in clockintr_init() has been
moved to other parts of the kernel. It's a dead function. Remove it.

Likewise, the clockintr_flags variable no longer sports any meaningful
flags. Remove it. This frees up the CL_* flag namespace, which might
be useful to the clockintr frontend if we ever need to add behavior
flags to any of those functions.

clockintr: replace CL_RNDSTAT with global variable statclock_is_randomized

In order to separate the statclock from the clock interrupt subsystem
we need to move all statclock state out into the broader kernel.

Start by replacing the CL_RNDSTAT flag with a new global variable,
"statclock_is_randomized", in kern_clock.c. Update all clockintr_init()
callers to set the boolean instead of passing the flag.

all platforms: separate cpu_initclocks() from cpu_startclock()

To give the primary CPU an opportunity to perform clock interrupt
preparation in a machine-independent manner we need to separate the
"initialization" parts of cpu_initclocks() from the "start the clock
interrupt" parts. Currently, cpu_initclocks() does everything all at
once, so there is no space for this MI setup.

Many platforms have more-or-less already done this separation by
implementing a separate routine named "cpu_startclock()". This patch
promotes cpu_startclock() from de facto standard to mandatory API.

- Prototype cpu_startclock() in sys/systm.h alongside cpu_initclocks().
The separation of responsibility between the two routines is a bit
fuzzy but the basic guidelines are as follows:

+ cpu_initclocks() must initialize hz, stathz, and profhz, and call
clockintr_init().

+ cpu_startclock() must call clockintr_cpu_init() and start the clock
interrupt cycle on the calling CPU.

These guidelines will shift in the future, but that's the way things
stand as of *this* commit.

- In initclocks(): first call cpu_initclocks(), then do MI setup, and
last call cpu_startclock().

- On platforms where cpu_startclock() already exists: don't call
cpu_startclock() from cpu_initclocks() anymore.

- On platforms where cpu_startclock() doesn't yet exist: implement it.
Usually this is as simple as dividing cpu_initclocks() in two.

statclock: move profil(2), GPROF code to profclock(), gmonclock()

This patch isolates profil(2) and GPROF from statclock(). Currently,
statclock() implements both profil(2) and GPROF through a complex
mechanism involving both platform code (setstatclockrate) and the
scheduler (pscnt, psdiv, and psratio). We have a machine-independent
interface to the clock interrupt hardware now, so we no longer need to
do it this way.

- Move profil(2)-specific code from statclock() to a new clock
interrupt callback, profclock(), in subr_prof.c. Each
schedstate_percpu has its own profclock handle. The profclock is
enabled/disabled for a given CPU when it is needed by the running
thread during mi_switch() and sched_exit().

- Move GPROF-specific code from statclock() to a new clock interrupt
callback, gmonclock(), in subr_prof.c. Where available, each cpu_info
has its own gmonclock handle . The gmonclock is enabled/disabled for
a given CPU via sysctl(2) in prof_state_toggle().

- Both profclock() and gmonclock() have a fixed period, profclock_period,
that is initialized during initclocks().

- Export clockintr_advance(), clockintr_cancel(), clockintr_establish(),
and clockintr_stagger() via <sys/clockintr.h>. They have external
callers now.

- Delete pscnt, psdiv, psratio. From schedstate_percpu, also delete
spc_pscnt and spc_psdiv. The statclock frequency is not dynamic
anymore so these variables are now useless.

- Delete code/state related to the dynamic statclock frequency from
kern_clockintr.c. The statclock frequency can still be pseudo-random,
so move the contents of clockintr_statvar_init() into clockintr_init().

timecounting: remove incomplete PPS support

The timecounting code has had stubs for pulse-per-second (PPS) polling
since it was imported in 2004. At this point it seems unlikely that
anyone is going to finish adding PPS support, so let's remove the stubs:

- Delete the dead tc_poll_pps() call from tc_windup().
- Remove all tc_poll_pps symbols from the kernel.

gptimer(4): switch to clockintr

- Remove custom clock interrupt scheduling code.
- Remove local evcount structs.
- Wire up gptimer_intrclock.
- Switch stathz from 128 to hz
- Switch profhz from 1024 to (stathz * 10).

This change is untested. Nobody seems to have hardware that actually uses
the gptimer(4) as an interrupt clock. If this patch doesn't work, the driver
is probably not too distant from a working state.

timecounting: use C99-style initialization for all timecounter structs

The timecounter struct is large and I think it may change in the
future. Changing it later will be easier if we use C99-style
initialization for all timecounter structs. It also makes reading the
code a bit easier.

For reasons I cannot explain, switching to C99-style initialization
sometimes changes the hash of the resulting object file, even though
the resulting struct should be the same. So there is a binary change
here, but only sometimes. No behavior should change in either case.

I can't compile-test this everywhere but I have been staring at the
diff for days now and I'm relatively confident this will not break
compilation. Fingers crossed.

Add support for timeconting in userland.

This diff exposes parts of clock_gettime(2) and gettimeofday(2) to
userland via libc eliberating processes from the need for a context
switch everytime they want to count the passage of time.

If a timecounter clock can be exposed to userland than it needs to set
its tc_user member to a non-zero value. Tested with one or multiple
counters per architecture.

The timing data is shared through a pointer found in the new ELF
auxiliary vector AUX_openbsd_timekeep containing timehands information
that is frequently updated by the kernel.

Timing differences between the last kernel update and the current time
are adjusted in userland by the tc_get_timecount() function inside the
MD usertc.c file.

This permits a much more responsive environment, quite visible in
browsers, office programs and gaming (apparently one is are able to fly
in Minecraft now).
