ptp: introduce ptp auxiliary worker

2017-08-01T22:22:55+00:00

Many PTP drivers required to perform some asynchronous or periodic work, like periodically handling PHC counter overflow or handle delayed timestamp for RX/TX network packets. In most of the cases, such work is implemented using workqueues. Unfortunately, Kernel workqueues might introduce significant delay in work scheduling under high system load and on -RT, which could cause misbehavior of PTP drivers due to internal counter overflow, for example, and there is no way to tune its execution policy and priority manuallly. Hence, The kthread_worker can be used insted of workqueues, as it create separte named kthread for each worker and its its execution policy and priority can be configured using chrt tool. This prblem was reported for two drivers TI CPSW CPTS and dp83640, so instead of modifying each of these driver it was proposed to add PTP auxiliary worker to the PHC subsystem. The patch adds PTP auxiliary worker in PHC subsystem using kthread_worker and kthread_delayed_work and introduces two new PHC subsystem APIs: - long (*do_aux_work)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp) callback in ptp_clock_info structure, which driver should assign if it require to perform asynchronous or periodic work. Driver should return the delay of the PTP next auxiliary work scheduling time (>=0) or negative value in case further scheduling is not required. - int ptp_schedule_worker(struct ptp_clock *ptp, unsigned long delay) which allows schedule PTP auxiliary work. The name of kthread_worker thread corresponds PTP PHC device name "ptp%d". Signed-off-by: Grygorii Strashko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

time: Change posix clocks ops interfaces to use timespec64

2017-04-14T19:49:54+00:00

struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines. The posix clocks apis use struct timespec directly and through struct itimerspec. Replace the posix clock interfaces to use struct timespec64 and struct itimerspec64 instead. Also fix up their implementations accordingly. Note that the clock_getres() interface has also been changed to use timespec64 even though this particular interface is not affected by the y2038 problem. This helps verification for internal kernel code for y2038 readiness by getting rid of time_t/ timeval/ timespec.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "4.11 is going to be a relatively large release for KVM, with a little over 200 commits and noteworthy changes for most architectures. ARM: - GICv3 save/restore - cache flushing fixes - working MSI injection for GICv3 ITS - physical timer emulation MIPS: - various improvements under the hood - support for SMP guests - a large rewrite of MMU emulation. KVM MIPS can now use MMU notifiers to support copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, ballooning and everything else. KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is also supported, so that writes to some memory regions can be treated as MMIO. The new MMU also paves the way for hardware virtualization support.

2017-02-17T16:03:06+00:00

Instead of creating selected attributes after the device is created (and after userspace potentially seen uevent), lets use attribute group is_visible() method to control which attributes are shown. This will allow us to create all attributes (except "pins" group, which will be taken care of later) before userspace gets notified about new ptp class device.
