* clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodicThomas Gleixner2011-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working around an hpet related BIOS wreckage. Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

* hrtimers: Notify hrtimer users of switches to NOHZ modeStephen Boyd2011-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When NOHZ=y and high res timers are disabled (via cmdline or Kconfig) tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() will notify the user about switching into NOHZ mode. Nothing is printed for the case where HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. Fix this for the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y case by duplicating the printk from the low res NOHZ path in the high res NOHZ path. This confused me since I was thinking 'dmesg | grep -i NOHZ' would tell me if NOHZ was enabled, but if I have hrtimers there is nothing.

Now phase and frequency can be adjusted separately: the former based on REALTIME clock and the latter based on MONOTONIC_RAW clock. A new function getnstime_raw_and_real is added to timekeeping subsystem to capture both timestamps at the same time and atomically.

However, it is highly optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond. To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if used without exponential filter. Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.

The clamp roughly corresponds to the loop time constant, it's 8 * poll interval for SHIFT_PLL 2 and 32 * poll interval for SHIFT_PLL 4. This gives good results without affecting the gain in normal conditions where ntpd skips only up to seven consecutive samples.

* timekeeping: Fix overflow in rawtime tv_nsec on 32 bit archsJason Wessel2010-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap and become negative which later causes looping problems in the getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for a short period of time of ~2 seconds. A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem: ftrace time stamp: log 43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa 43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd 43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0 46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3 46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3 The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec. A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it to a timespec_t.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on xtime_lock. Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition, this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on many-core systems.

There is still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing. The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs instead of the normal idle balance. This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic: * the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on behalf of any of the idle CPUs. * On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU doing the timer broadcast. Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle, there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle system). And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended (as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc. For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers from an idle cpu. This is good for power-savings anyway.

| * clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interfaceJohn Stultz2010-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits. Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly half a second off. This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the xtime_cache related code. This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change, where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling the edge case in update_wall_time().
