* clockevents: prevent endless loop in tick_handle_periodic()john stultz2009-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource. Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available. Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops forever.

* clocksource: add enable() and disable() callbacksMagnus Damm2009-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add enable() and disable() callbacks for clocksources. This allows us to put unused clocksources in power save mode. The functions clocksource_enable() and clocksource_disable() wrap the callbacks and are inserted in the timekeeping code to enable before use and disable after switching to a new clocksource.

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.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting for the dying cpu to be dead. This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent gets setup using set_mode(). Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused. This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough. Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such drivers without the delta details filled in.

The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code elsewhere.

This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing struct clocksource. The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are * the APIs are clearly related * struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs * avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h? timecounter.h?) As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds * struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles * struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which provides a nanosecond counter * only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally and not exposed to users of timecounter The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds. Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

The "timekeeping_suspended" flag is not very nice but we cannot call into GTOD before it has been properly resumed and the scheduler will run very early in the resume sequence.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

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>

On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. 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.

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.
