| * | RTC: Disable CONFIG_RTC_CLASS from being built as a moduleJohn Stultz2011-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RTC subsystem has a number of accessors that are available via include/linux/rtc.h. However many of these interfaces are not available for use if CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=m. So in order to support wider use of the RTC in the kernel, I'm removing the tristate config option for a bool, so that code can easily be conditionalized if the RTC class is present or not.

| * | timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementationJohn Stultz2011-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code, and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes). Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

| * | timers: Posix interface for alarm-timersJohn Stultz2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if it is suspended. Some background can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/ The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device. As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME). The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides (ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait on a new alarm). One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research. There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated bag, mid-flight).

| * | timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interfaceJohn Stultz2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for alarm-timers. Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers, but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer expires. The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct RTC manipulation.

| * | timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodesJohn Stultz2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where a timerqueue_node or some structure that utilizes a timerqueue_node is allocated on the stack, gcc would give warnings caused by the timerqueue_init()'s calling RB_CLEAR_NODE, which self-references the nodes uninitialized data. The solution is to create an rb_init_node() function that zeros the rb_node structure out and then calls RB_CLEAR_NODE(), and then call the new init function from timerqueue_init().

| * | time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptimeJohn Stultz2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled. This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume to measure the time in suspend. The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However, this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate. This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume. The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

Function __disable_runtime() bugs and reports leakage of rt_rq runtime. The root cause is __disable_runtime() assumes it iterates through all the existing rt_rq's while walking rq->leaf_rt_rq_list, which actually contains only runnable rt_rq's. This problem also applies to __enable_runtime() and print_rt_stats(). The patch is based on above analysis, appears to fix the problem, but is only lightly tested. Reported-by: Paul E.

This calculation is actually a little bit impure (because it is inverting something around "lw-weight"+1), especially when "lw->weight" becomes smaller. The correct inverse would be 1/lw->weight multiplied by "WMULT_CONST" for fixcomma-scaling it into integers. (So WMULT_CONST/lw->weight ...) The old, impure algorithm took two divisions for inverting lw->weight, the new, more exact one only takes one and an additional unlikely-if.

But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups, it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup on each sleep after a short runtime. This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case. Example: Two taskgroups with 2 threads each which are running for 2ms and sleeping for 1ms. Looking at sched:sched_switch shows: BEFORE: taskgroup_1 threads [5004, 5005], taskgroup_2 threads [5016, 5017] cpu-soaker-5004 [003] 3683.391089 cpu-soaker-5016 [003] 3683.393106 cpu-soaker-5005 [003] 3683.395119 cpu-soaker-5017 [003] 3683.397130 cpu-soaker-5004 [003] 3683.399143 cpu-soaker-5016 [003] 3683.401155 cpu-soaker-5005 [003] 3683.403168 cpu-soaker-5017 [003] 3683.405170 AFTER: taskgroup_1 threads [21890, 21891], taskgroup_2 threads [21934, 21935] cpu-soaker-21890 [003] 865.895494 cpu-soaker-21935 [003] 865.897506 cpu-soaker-21934 [003] 865.899520 cpu-soaker-21935 [003] 865.901532 cpu-soaker-21934 [003] 865.903543 cpu-soaker-21935 [003] 865.905546 cpu-soaker-21891 [003] 865.907548 cpu-soaker-21890 [003] 865.909560 cpu-soaker-21891 [003] 865.911571 cpu-soaker-21890 [003] 865.913582 cpu-soaker-21891 [003] 865.915594 cpu-soaker-21934 [003] 865.917606 Similar problem is there when there are multiple taskgroups and say a task A preempts currently running task B of taskgroup_1.
