* kernel: Fix files explicitly needing EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructurePaul Gortmaker2011-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | These files were getting <linux/module.h> via an implicit non-obvious path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers for no reason. Give them the lightweight header that just contains the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

| * clocksource: Make watchdog reset locklessThomas Gleixner2011-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes unstable. We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through a full update cycle.

| * clockevents: Add direct ktime programming functionMartin Schwidefsky2011-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly. A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.

| * clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurableMartin Schwidefsky2011-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an attribute of the clockevents device. In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

| * nohz: Fix update_ts_time_stat idle accountingMichal Hocko2011-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter (via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get cumulative time for both idle and iowait times. The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading. Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well. If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other contexts as well and we will get expected values.

In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the persistent clock and the system CLOCK_REALTIME. If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we do no correction and update the delta. Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to restore the previous offset from the persistent clock. However, without this patch, since each read could cause almost a full second worth of error, its possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the suspend/resume cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by the compensation. Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to accumulate.

* | alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is presentJohn Stultz2011-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Toralf Förster and Richard Weinberger noted that if there is no RTC device, the alarm timers core prints out an annoying "ALARM timers will not wake from suspend" message. This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however the issue still remains: The original idea was to support alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the system didn't go into suspend. However, after further consideration, communicating to the application that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better solution. So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system. Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create, and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that.

The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode. The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to debug timekeeping related problems in early boot. Put the selection call last.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init() checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is dereferenced Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid as well. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* | | timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was setThomas Gleixner2011-05-02

A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we don't have an interface. Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are expired whenever the clock was set. The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

* | timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementationJohn Stultz2011-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code, and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes). Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

Both clockids behave identically to CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if it is suspended. Some background can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/ The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device. As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME). The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides (ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait on a new alarm). One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research. There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated bag, mid-flight).
