| | | | | | | | | | | The time_status conditional was accidentally placed right after we clear the checked time_status bits, which causes us to take the conditional every time through.

* time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex()Ingo Molnar2009-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization: When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is arguably the wrong thing to do. We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in ntp_update_offset(), in form of: if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0)) secs = 0; But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup. So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions. This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update, with a very large delta.

* time: apply NTP frequency/tick changes immediatelyjohn stultz2009-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency(). However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the next second (via second_overflow). This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the requested change made as quickly as expected. I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.

* hrtimer: removing all ur callback modesPeter Zijlstra2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| * ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki2008-09-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

* remove div_long_long_remRoman Zippel2008-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.

The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit). This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST. This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for. For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the "ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

* time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READJohn Stultz2007-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex() system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong results if 'delta' is NULL. add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc to fix this API compatibility bug. Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761 [ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ] NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely.

* ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erraticDavid P. Reed2007-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC) clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically. When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1 second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to "xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime" but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a "coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is needlessly incorrect, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I forgot to remove capability.h from mm.h while removing sched.h!

* NTP: remove clock_was_set() call to prevent deadlockThomas Gleixner2007-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The clock_was_set() call in seconds_overflow() which happens only when leap seconds are inserted / deleted is wrong in two aspects: 1. it results in a call to on_each_cpu() with interrupts disabled 2. it is potential deadlock source vs. call_lock in smp_call_function() The only possible side effect of the removal might be, that an absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timer fires 1 second too late, in the rare case of leap second deletion and an absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timer which expires in the affected time frame. It will never fire too early. This was probably observed by the reporter of a June 30th -> July 1st hang: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/3/103 A similar problem was observed by Dave Jones, who provided a screen shot with a lockdep back trace, which allowed to analyse the problem.

* Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan2007-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%). Cross-compile tested on all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs, alpha alpha-up arm i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig ia64 ia64-up m68k mips parisc parisc-up powerpc powerpc-up s390 s390-up sparc sparc-up sparc64 sparc64-up um-x86_64 x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig as well as my two usual configs.
