| * ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki2008-09-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

| * clockevents: broadcast fixup possible waitersThomas Gleixner2008-09-061-1/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until the C1E patches arrived there where no users of periodic broadcast before switching to oneshot mode. Now we need to trigger a possible waiter for a periodic broadcast when switching to oneshot mode. Otherwise we can starve them for ever. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
| * clockevents: prevent endless loop lockupThomas Gleixner2008-09-053-16/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| * clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdownThomas Gleixner2008-09-051-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

| * clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setupThomas Gleixner2008-09-051-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

| * clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handlerThomas Gleixner2008-09-051-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken, when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value and therefor never increases.

| * clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi2008-09-052-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

* sched clock: revert various sched_clock() changesIngo Molnar2008-07-311-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way. After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics. (which is unsigned for performance reasons) So revert: # c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift # c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads. # af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ # f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time This solves the interactivity problems.

The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

That works fine most of the time when idle timeouts are within 60 seconds. But when an idle timeout is beyond 60 seconds, jiffies is updated with a jump of more than 60 seconds, which causes a jump in cpu-clock of more than 60 seconds, triggering a false positive.

It may take a very long time until the pending softirqs will finally be executed. Worst case would be a hanging system. With this patch the timer tick just continues and the softirqs will be executed after the next interrupt. Still a delay but better than a hanging system. Currently we have at least two device drivers on s390 which under certain circumstances schedule a tasklet from process context. This is a reason why we can end up with pending softirqs when going idle. Fixing these drivers seems to be non-trivial. However there is no question that the drivers should be fixed. This patch shouldn't be considered as a bug fix. It just is intended to keep a system running even if device drivers are buggy.

This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also caused the irqoff self tests to fail. What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum. The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod. On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies (which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead. The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock forward by several jiffies. This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle. This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based laptops. The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point. To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.

* | x86: tsc prevent time going backwardsThomas Gleixner2008-04-191-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there is a subtle bug which has been in the code forever. This can cause time jumps in the range of hours. This was reported in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23 I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this might be observable with the syscall based version as well. CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right after the seqlock was unlocked. The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like pm timer. The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1 will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the reference value. To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger than the actual TSC value. I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast clocksource unusable without a real good reason.
