* sched: dynticks idle load balancingSiddha, Suresh B2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the process idle load balancing in the presence of dynticks. cpus for which ticks are stopped will sleep till the next event wakes it up. Potentially these sleeps can be for large durations and during which today, there is no periodic idle load balancing being done. This patch nominates an owner among the idle cpus, which does the idle load balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are completely idle, then we can stop this idle load balancing too. Checks added in fast path are minimized. Whenever there are busy cpus in the system, there will be an owner(idle cpu) doing the system wide idle load balancing. Open items: 1. Intelligent owner selection (like an idle core in a busy package). 2. Merge with rcu's nohz_cpu_mask?

* highres/dyntick: prevent xtime lock contentionThomas Gleixner2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.

* [PATCH] fix jiffies clocksource inittimejohn stultz2007-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be selected and used for a short period of time. Digging in it looks to be a result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource initialization changes. With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can results in a hang at boot. I was not able to reproduce this hang w/ mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it. This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet registered.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch).

* [PATCH] clocksource: Fix thinko in watchdog selectionThomas Gleixner2007-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The watchdog implementation excludes low res / non continuous clocksources from being selected as a watchdog reference unintentionally. Allow using jiffies/PIT as a watchdog reference as long as no better clocksource is available. This is necessary to detect TSC breakage on systems, which have no pmtimer/hpet. The main goal of the initial patch (preventing to switch to highres/nohz when no reliable fallback clocksource is available) is still guaranteed by the checks in clocksource_watchdog().

* [PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangsThomas Gleixner2007-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the code and the bug reports what's going on. The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion, when the non boot CPU is brought back up. The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp. nohz mode were simply wrong. Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic modes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [PATCH] Save/restore periodic tick information over suspend/resumeThomas Gleixner2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized as a side-effect of SMP bootup.) This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

* [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h, linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in a C file as the only simple solution.

* [PATCH] i386 Time: Avoid PIT SMP lockupsjohn stultz2006-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes. However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC. Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again. So this changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0. Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems: tsc [if present & stable] hpet [if present] cyclone [if present] acpi_pm [if present] pit [if UP] jiffies Rather then the current more complicated: tsc [if present & stable] hpet [if present] cyclone [if present] acpi_pm [if present] pit [if cpus < 4] tsc [if present & unstable] jiffies Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] ntp: convert to the NTP4 reference modelRoman Zippel2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the kernel ntp model into a model which matches the nanokernel reference implementations. The previous patches already increased the resolution and precision of the computations, so that this conversion becomes quite simple. <linux@horizon.com> explains: The original NTP kernel interface was defined in units of microseconds. That's what Linux implements. As computers have gotten faster and can now split microseconds easily, a new kernel interface using nanosecond units was defined ("the nanokernel", confusing as that name is to OS hackers), and there's an STA_NANO bit in the adjtimex() status field to tell the application which units it's using. The current ntpd supports both, but Linux loses some possible timing resolution because of quantization effects, and the ntpd hackers would really like to be able to drop the backwards compatibility code. Ulrich Windl has been maintaining a patch set to do the conversion for years, but it's hard to keep in sync.

* [PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructurejohn stultz2006-06-26
This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
