| * RTC: Fix early irqs caused by calling rtc_set_alarm too earlyJohn Stultz2011-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we register an rtc device at boot, we read the alarm value in hardware and set the rtc device's aie_timer to that value. The initial method to do this was to simply call rtc_set_alarm() with the value read from hardware. However, this may cause problems as rtc_set_alarm may enable interupts, and the RTC alarm might fire, which can cause invalid pointer dereferencing since the RTC registration is not complete. This patch solves the issue by initializing the rtc_device.aie_timer y hand via rtc_initialize_alarm(). This avoids any calls to the RTC hardware which might enable interrupts too early.

* RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTCJohn Stultz2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mark Brown pointed out a corner case: that RTC alarms should be allowed to be persistent across reboots if the hardware supported it. The rework of the generic layer to virtualize the RTC alarm virtualized much of the alarm handling, and removed the code used to read the alarm time from the hardware. Mark noted if we want the alarm to be persistent across reboots, we need to re-read the alarm value into the virtualized generic layer at boot up, so that the generic layer properly exposes that value. This patch restores much of the earlier removed rtc_read_alarm code and wires it in so that we set the kernel's alarm value to what we find in the hardware at boot time. NOTE: Not all hardware supports persistent RTC alarm state across system reset. rtc-cmos for example will keep the alarm time, but disables the AIE mode irq. Applications should not expect the RTC alarm to be valid after a system reset. We will preserve what we can, to represent the hardware state at boot, but its not guarenteed. Further, in the future, with multiplexed RTC alarms, the soonest alarm to fire may not be the one set via the /dev/rt ioctls. So an application may set the alarm with RTC_ALM_SET, but after a reset find that RTC_ALM_READ returns an earlier time. Again, we preserve what we can, but applications should not expect the RTC alarm state to persist across a system reset. Big thanks to Mark for pointing out the issue! Thanks also to Marcelo for helping think through the solution.

* RTC: Properly handle rtc_read_alarm error propagation and fix bugJohn Stultz2011-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In reviewing cases where the virtualized interfaces didn't propagate errors properly, I noticed rtc_read_alarm needed fixing. In doing so I noticed my RTC rework dropped a memset and that the behavior of rtc_read_alarm shouldn't be conditionalized on the alarm.enabled flag (as the alarm may be set, but the irqs may be disabled). So those were corrected as well.

* RTC: Propagate error handling via rtc_timer_enqueue properlyJohn Stultz2011-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where RTC hardware does not support alarms, the virtualized RTC interfaces did not have a way to propagate the error up to userland. This patch extends rtc_timer_enqueue so it catches errors from the hardware and returns them upwards to the virtualized interfaces. To simplify error handling, it also internalizes the management of the timer->enabled bit into rtc_timer_enqueue and rtc_timer_remove. Also makes rtc_timer_enqueue and rtc_timer_remove static.

* RTC: Rework RTC code to use timerqueue for eventsJohn Stultz2010-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks a large portion of the generic RTC code to in-effect virtualize the rtc interrupt code. The current RTC interface is very much a raw hardware interface. Via the proc, /dev/, or sysfs interfaces, applciations can set the hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes: AIE: Alarm interrupt UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second) PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs) The problem with this interface is that it limits the RTC hardware so it can only be used by one application at a time. The purpose of this patch is to extend the RTC code so that we can multiplex multiple applications event needs onto a single RTC device. This is done by utilizing the timerqueue infrastructure to manage a list of events, which cause the RTC hardware to be programmed to fire an interrupt for the next event in the list. In order to preserve the functionality of the exsting proc,/dev/ and sysfs interfaces, we emulate the different interrupt modes as follows: AIE: We create a rtc_timer dedicated to AIE mode interrupts. There is only one per device, so we don't change existing interface semantics. UIE: Again, a dedicated rtc_timer, set for periodic mode, is used to emulate UIE interrupts. Again, only one per device. PIE: Since PIE mode interrupts fire faster then the RTC's clock read granularity, we emulate PIE mode interrupts using a hrtimer. Again, one per device. With this patch, the rtctest.c application in Documentation/rtc.txt passes fine on x86 hardware. However, there may very well still be bugs, so greatly I'd appreciate any feedback or testing!

* rtc: rtc_read_alarm() handles wraparoundDavid Brownell2008-07-04

Example, if it's now 10am, an alarm firing at 5am will be triggered TOMORROW not today. (Which may also be next month or next year...) This updates that alarm handling in three ways: * Handle alarm rollover in the common cases of RTCs that don't support matching on all date fields. * Skip the invalid-field logic when it's not needed. * Minor bugfix ... tm_isdst should be ignored, it's one of the fields Linux doesn't maintain. A warning is emitted for some of the unhandled rollover cases, but the possible combinations are a bit too numerous to handle every bit of potential hardware and firmware braindamage.

* rtc: fix readback from /sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarmMark Lord2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix readback of RTC alarms on platforms which return -1 in non-hardware-supported RTC alarm fields. To fill in the missing (-1) values, we grab an RTC timestamp along with the RTC alarm value, and use the timestamp fields to populate the missing alarm fields. To counter field-wrap races (since the timestamp and alarm are not read together atomically), we read the RTC timestamp both before and after reading the RTC alarm value, and then check for wrapped fields --> if any have wrapped, we know we have a possible inconsistency, so we loop and reread the timestamp and alarm again. Wrapped fields in the RTC timestamps are an issue because rtc-cmos.c, for example, also gets/uses an RTC timestamp internally while fetching the RTC alarm. If our timestamp here wasn't the same (minutes and higher) as what was used internally there, then we might end up populating the -1 fields with inconsistent values. This fixes readbacks from /sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm, as well as other code paths which call rtc_read_alarm().

* rtc: remove "RTC_ALM_SET mode" bugsDavid Brownell2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes, by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior). The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ... that second mode. Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths. (Several in-tree drivers have that issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.) This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).
