* [PATCH] hrtimers: add high resolution timer supportThomas Gleixner2007-02-168-58/+650
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement high resolution timers on top of the hrtimers infrastructure and the clockevents / tick-management framework. This provides accurate timers for all hrtimer subsystem users.

* [PATCH] i386 prepare nmi watchdog for dynticksThomas Gleixner2007-02-161-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is happening. This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer completely. Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false positives.

* [PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibrationThomas Gleixner2007-02-162-152/+215
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases: 1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function. 2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode. Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux. Rework the code to address both problems: - Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the results are very accurate. - Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the pm timer result. - Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation. This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

* [PATCH] clockevents: i386 driversThomas Gleixner2007-02-1617-847/+811
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

* [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionalityThomas Gleixner2007-02-166-14/+497
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies(). The main problem is that this condition: if (m > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)) overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000! This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'. (The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)

* [PATCH] uml: fix 2.6.20 hangJeff Dike2007-02-161-18/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.
