This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

| | | * | nohz: suppress needless timer reprogrammingWoodruff, Richard2008-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very short period of time. The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU. This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the timer posting to be done. All of this reprogramming is useless as the wake up time has not changed. As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate. I can send traces to show this. Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped. Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait times.

However take_cpu_down makes sure that the idle task will run next instead of ksoftirqd on the taken down cpu. The idle task will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick which might warn about pending softirqs just before the cpu kills itself completely. However the pending softirqs on the dead cpu aren't a problem because they will be moved to an online cpu during CPU_DEAD handling. So make sure we warn only for online cpus.

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>
* / / time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix themjohn stultz2008-12-04

Through their great diagnosis, they found that the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in update_wall_time(): 1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec. (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it to be small). 2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then cycle_interval. 3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be subtracted from xtime_nsec. This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow. Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow() whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior. This leaves us with (at least) two options: 1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative. This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed (due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part. 2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its negative to both xtime_nsec and the error. This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of control is lessened.

That means the call back function is not called. This game can go on for ever :( Prevent this by making sure to only rearm the timer when the expiry time is more than one tick_period away. Otherwise keep it running as it is either already expired or will expiry at the right point to update jiffies.

The following simplified example demonstrates the problem: cycle xtime 0 0 1000 999999.6 2000 1999999.2 3000 2999998.8 ... 1500 = 1499999.4 = 0.0 + 1499999.4 = 999999.6 + 499999.8 When reading the clock only the full nanosecond part is used, while timekeeping internally keeps nanosecond fractions. If the clock is now updated at cycle 1500 here, a nanosecond is missing due to the truncation. The simple fix is to round up the xtime value during the update, this also changes the distance to the reference time, but the adjustment will automatically take care that it stays under control.

But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become stale: idle() tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer) halt() interrupt jiffies updated from irq_enter() interrupt handler softirq function 1 runs 20ms softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value jiffies updated from irq_exit() timer wheel has now an already expired timer (the one added in function 2) timer fires and timer softirq runs This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself. To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from idle when need_resched() is set.
