* timers: simplify lockdep handlingOleg Nesterov2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid the false positive from lockdep, each per-cpu base->lock has the separate lock class and migrate_timers() uses double_spin_lock(). This all is overcomplicated: except for migrate_timers() we never take 2 locks at once, and migrate_timers() can use spin_lock_nested().

* NOHZ: reevaluate idle sleep length after add_timer_on()Thomas Gleixner2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code. To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event. Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the other CPU of the change in the timer wheel. Call this function from add_timer_on().

* Pidns: make full use of xxx_vnr() callsPavel Emelyanov2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were _all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo) one. Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where appropriate.

* taskstats scaled time cleanupMichael Neuling2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime. This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are both NOPs. Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

In the other two, using it broke the existing semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

* sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpcPaul Mackerras2007-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times(). This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times that updates utime and stime into a separate function called account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined, there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to implement account_process_tick. This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390 timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a suitable account_process_tick(). account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument. Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit value. When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for HZ=1000. In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

* Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* Add support for deferrable timersVenki Pallipadi2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

This is caused by the conversion of the hrtimer internal representation to relative jiffies. This causes bug #8100: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8100 next_timer_interrupt() returns "now" in such a case and causes the code in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to trigger the timer softirq, which is bogus as no timer is due for expiry. This results in an endless context switching between idle and ksoftirqd until a timer is due for expiry. Modify the hrtimer evaluation so that, it returns now + 1, when the conversion results in a delta < 1 jiffie. It's confirmed to resolve bug #8100 Reported-by: Emil Karlson <jkarlson@cc.hut.fi> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [PATCH] fix vsyscall settimeofdayDaniel Walker2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've only seen this on x86_64. The vsyscall state only gets updated when a timer interrupts comes in. So if the time is set long before the next timer, there will be a period when a gettimeofday() won't reflect the correct time. I added an explicit update_vsyscall() during the settimeofday(), that way the vsyscall state doesn't get stale.

* [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] timer/hrtimer: take per cpu locks in sane orderHeiko Carstens2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing something like this on a two cpu system # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online will give me this: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7 ------------------------------------------------------- bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock: (&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240 but task is already holding lock: (&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240 which lock already depends on the new lock. This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c: migrate_hrtimers(int cpu) [...] old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu); new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases); [...] spin_lock(&new_base->lock); spin_lock(&old_base->lock); Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers(). As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with the lower number first. To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

* [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionalityThomas Gleixner2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core. Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock related management events. This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the architecture code.

* [PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interruptThomas Gleixner2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take the cascade into account. The current code has several problems: 1. it looks into the previous cascade 2. it ignores a pending cascade 3. it ignores multiple cascades Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.
