Arjan van de Ven 030aebd2e4 rangetimer: fix BUG_ON reported by Ingo
There's a small race/chance that, while hrtimers are enabled globally,
they're later not enabled when we're calling the hrtimer_interrupt() function,
which then BUG_ON()'s for that. This patch closes that race/gap.

Thomas Gleixner ccc7dadf73 hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimers
Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU

The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.

Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

Thomas Gleixner b00c1a99e7 hrtimer: mark migration state
Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive

The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.

Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

Thomas Gleixner 41e1022eae hrtimer: fix migration of CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ hrtimers
Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline.

commit 37bb6cb409
       hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup

changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.

This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

Arjan van de Ven 2e94d1f71f hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idle
As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine
which C-state to select etc.

This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their
soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup
time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before
going idle rather than specially waking up for it.

this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point

the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.

Steven Rostedt ee3ece830f hrtimer: prevent migration for raising softirq
Due to a possible deadlock, the waking of the softirq was pushed outside
of the hrtimer base locks. See commit 0c96c5979a

Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq
and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the
softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from
running.

To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing
of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge d031476408 hrtimer: remove warning in hres_timers_resume
hres_timers_resume() warns if there appears to be more than one cpu
online.  This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism
offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process.

However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it
merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine
is suspended.  The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore
spurious.

This observation has already been made by Matthew Wilcox in June 2002
(http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0687.html)

"I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element
passed to them."

and the situation hasn't changed since them. So it appears we can safely
remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text).

Thomas Gleixner 0c96c5979a hrtimer: raise softirq unlocked to avoid circular lock dependency
The scheduler hrtimer bits in 2.6.25 introduced a circular lock
dependency in a rare code path:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.25-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #19
-------------------------------------------------------
X/2980 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&rq->rq_lock_key#2){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80230146>] task_rq_lock+0x56/0xa0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&cpu_base->lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80257ae1>] lock_hrtimer_base+0x31/0x60

which lock already depends on the new lock.

The scenario which leads to this is:

posix-timer signal is delivered
 -> posix-timer is rearmed
    timer is already expired in hrtimer_enqueue()
     -> softirq is raised

To prevent this we need to move the raise of the softirq out of the
base->lock protected code path.

Bodo Stroesser d7b41a24bf hrtimer: timeout too long when using HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ
When using hrtimer with timer->cb_mode == HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ
in some cases the clockevent is not programmed.
This happens, if:
 - a timer is rearmed while it's state is HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
 - hrtimer_reprogram() returns -ETIME, when it is called after
   CALLBACK is finished. This occurs if the new timer->expires
   is in the past when CALLBACK is done.
In this case, the timer needs to be removed from the tree and put
onto the pending list again.

The patch is against 2.6.22.5, but AFAICS, it is relevant
for 2.6.25 also (in run_hrtimer_pending()).

Dimitri Sivanich 833883d9ac hrtimer: reduce calls to hrtimer_get_softirq_time()
It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to.  This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.

With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.

This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()

Oleg Nesterov 080344b988 hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.

hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.

Introduced by commit 04c227140f
hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier

Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.

Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.

NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

Davide Libenzi 4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

caller of this function to detect the failed queueing and messed up
the do_nanosleep() caller in that it could leak a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE

Thomas Gleixner 62f0f61e66 hrtimers: avoid overflow for large relative timeouts
Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative
timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start().

This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an
huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock
source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost
goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code
sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that
problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers.

This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more
hardware.

john stultz 17c38b7490 Cache xtime every call to update_wall_time
This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.

IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).

[ Updated Patch.  As penance for my sins I've also yanked another #ifdef
  that was added to avoid the xtime lag w/ hrtimers.  ]

john stultz 2c6b47de17 Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().
This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions.  Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.

This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
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).

Thomas Gleixner f8953856eb [PATCH] highres: do not run the TIMER_SOFTIRQ after switching to highres mode
The TIMER_SOFTIRQ runs the hrtimers during bootup until a usable
clocksource and clock event sources are registered.  The switch to high
resolution mode happens inside of the TIMER_SOFTIRQ, but runs the softirq
afterwards.  That way the tick emulation timer, which was set up in the
switch to highres might be executed in the softirq context, which is a BUG.
 The rbtree has not to be touched by the softirq after the highres switch.

This BUG was observed by Andres Salomon, who provided the information to
debug it.

Return early from the softirq, when the switch was sucessful.

Heiko Carstens e81ce1f7ec [PATCH] timer/hrtimer: take per cpu locks in sane order
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.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers.  The code
which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared
between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks.  The dyntick
functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline.  Provide also the
infrastructure to support high resolution timers.

Thomas Gleixner d316c57ff6 [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality
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 clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the
sleep is interrupted by a signal.

This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which
handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted.  This
patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart().  It is now accessed via the new
call out.  The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility
access.

Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is
virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

Paul Mackerras bfe5d83419 [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use it
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.  For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.

This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

Thomas Gleixner 92127c7a45 [PATCH] hrtimers: optimize softirq runqueues
The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick.  Retrieve the
current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling
base->get_time() for each timer base.  Store the time in the base structure
and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the
code open for new base clocks.

Based on a patch from: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>

Tony Lindgren 69239749e1 [PATCH] fix next_timer_interrupt() for hrtimer
Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213 as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer.  This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.

Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen.  At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

Ingo Molnar 06027bdd27 [PATCH] hrtimer: round up relative start time on low-res arches
CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is a temporary way for architectures to signal that
they simply return xtime in do_gettimeoffset().  In this corner-case we
want to round up by resolution when starting a relative timer, to avoid
short timeouts.  This will go away with the GTOD framework.

George Anzinger 7978672c4d [PATCH] hrtimers: cleanups and simplifications
Clean up the interface to hrtimers by changing the init code to pass the mode
as well as the clock.  This allow the init code to select the correct base and
eliminates extra timer re-init code in posix-timers.  We also simplify the
restart interface nanosleep use.

akpm@osdl.org ff60a5dc4f [PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>

CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function.  The signal is
queued.

After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted.  CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.

The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.

Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue.  In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.

it is not necessary for the standard use case. Remove the list head

Matt Helsley 69778e325c [PATCH] Export ktime_get_ts()
This series removes the getnstimestamp() function from kernel/time.c in favor
of kernel/hrtimer.c's ktime_get_ts() function which currently does exactly the
same thing: retrieves a high-resolution (ns) timespec structure and performs
the wall_to_monotonic adjustment.

This patch:

Export ktime_get_ts() to be used as a timestamp function since it uses
getnstimefoday() and does the wall_to_monotonic adjustment.
