ARM: Delete ARM's own cnt32_to_63.h
Delete ARM's own cnt32_to_63.h as the copy in include/linux/ should now be used instead. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

- * Prototype: u64 cnt32_to_63(u32 cnt)
- * Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have
- * a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent. This
- * is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit
- * non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned.
- *
- * To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits
- * in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided
- * by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory. The top bit in
- * memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period. When
- * the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the
- * memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware
- * counter wraps around.
- *
- * Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will
- * always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent
- * reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the
- * needed increment. And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless
- * as the same value would simply be stored more than once.
- *
- * The only restriction for the algorithm to work properly is that this
- * code must be executed at least once per each half period of the 32-bit
- * counter to properly update the state bit in memory. This is usually not a
- * problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel timer could be scheduled
- * to manage for this code to be executed often enough.
- *
- * Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered
- * as garbage. It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a
- * multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit
- * implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime
- * clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top
- * bit explicitly.
