| * | nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticksFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It makes testing and implementation much easier as we know in advance that all CPUs are RCU nocbs. Also this prepares to remove the dynamic check for nohz_full= boot mask to be a subset of rcu_nocbs= Eventually this should also help removing the requirement for the boot CPU to be outside the full dynticks range.

| * | nohz: Re-evaluate the tick for the new task after a context switchFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-22

So notify the full dynticks subsystem when a task gets scheduled in and re-check the tick dependency at this stage. This is done through a self IPI to avoid messing up with any current lock scenario.

| * | | nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks rangeFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-19

The IO-APIC is one such users as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression. Given that it happens before we know the initial online set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot. To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early on kernel parameter parsing time. We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary low power CPUs. But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

Rename it to "full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical issues that may be solved in the future.

Namely we want: config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol bool config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol default NO_HZ However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol is not visible. And this is currently the case because NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig and alike. To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This makes the "defaulting" to work.

The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig. Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ to it for backward compatibility.

This is far from being user friendly as those who want to activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files and iterate through each dependency then activate these by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks Kconfig option. So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate the high level ones when we enable the feature. Note there is one exception in the picture: CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig selection when it's under such layout. So for now this particular item stays as a passive dependency.

Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged. This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their tick for any reason. But let's start with that very simple approach first.

The CPU is less distracted from its real job, from an execution time and from the cache point of views. * This also improve latency response as we have less critical sections. Start with introducing a very simple interface to define full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that are part of this range will have their tick shutdown whenever possible: provided they run a single task and they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic tick. These details will be later documented in Documentation/* An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the timekeeping. Suggested-by: Paul E.

* | | clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdownThomas Gleixner2013-04-25

What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due to highres mode not being active. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333 There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event handler == NULL for a similar reason. We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in tick_setup_new_device(). The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(), but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic. This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers, preventing this problem.

* | clockevents: Switch into oneshot mode even if broadcast registered lateStephen Boyd2013-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered. If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode on all CPUs one more time.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some new processors whose TSC clocksource won't stop during suspend. Currently, after system resumes, kernel will use persistent clock or RTC to compensate the sleep time, but with these nonstop clocksources, we could skip the special compensation from external sources, and just use current clocksource for time recounting. This can solve some time drift bugs caused by some not-so-accurate or error-prone RTC devices. The current way to count suspended time is first try to use the persistent clock, and then try the RTC if persistent clock can't be used. This patch will change the trying order to: suspend-nonstop clocksource -> persistent clock -> RTC When counting the sleep time with nonstop clocksource, use an accurate way suggested by Jason Gunthorpe to cover very large delta cycles.
