The kernel uses 32-bit signed value(time_t) for seconds elapsed
1970-01-01:00:00:00, thus it will overflow at 2038-01-19 03:14:08

Ideally, __clocksource_updatefreq_scale, selects the largest shift
value possible for a clocksource. This results in the mult memember of
struct clocksource being particularly large, although not so large
that NTP would adjust the clock to cause it to overflow.
That said, nothing actually prohibits an overflow from occuring, its
just that it "shouldn't" occur.
So while very unlikely, and so far never observed, the value of
(cs->mult+cs->maxadj) may have a chance to reach very near 0xFFFFFFFF,
so there is a possibility it may overflow when doing NTP positive
adjustment
See the following detail: When NTP slewes the clock, kernel goes
through update_wall_time()->...->timekeeping_apply_adjustment():
tk->tkr.mult += mult_adj;
Since there is no guard against it, its possible tk->tkr.mult may
overflow during this operation.
This patch avoids any possible mult overflow by judging the overflow
case before adding mult_adj to mult, also adds the WARNING message
when capturing such case.

While looking over the cpu-timer code I found that we appear to add
the delta for the calling task twice, through:
cpu_timer_sample_group()
thread_group_cputimer()
thread_group_cputime()
times->sum_exec_runtime += task_sched_runtime();
*sample = cputime.sum_exec_runtime + task_delta_exec();
Which would make the sample run ahead, making the sleep short.

it. This in turn allows the "cpu" argument to rcu_cpu_has_callbacks()

replaced with a this_cpu_ptr(). Again, the anticipated cross-CPU uses

The "cpu" argument was kept around on the off-chance that RCU might
offload scheduler-clock interrupts. However, this offload approach
has been replaced by NO_HZ_FULL, which offloads -all- RCU processing
from qualifying CPUs. It is therefore time to remove the "cpu" argument
to rcu_check_callbacks(), which this commit does.

ktime_get_real_seconds() is the replacement function for get_seconds()
returning the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME in a time64_t. For
64bit the function is equivivalent to get_seconds(), but for 32bit it
protects the readout with the timekeeper sequence count. This is
required because 32-bit machines cannot access 64-bit tk->xtime_sec
variable atomically.

This is the counterpart to get_seconds() based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
use case for this interface are kernel internal coarse grained
timestamps which do neither require the nanoseconds fraction of
current time nor the CLOCK_REALTIME properties. Such timestamps can
currently only retrieved by calling ktime_get_ts64() and using the
tv_sec field of the returned timespec64. That's inefficient as it
involves the read of the clocksource, math operations and must be
protected by the timekeeper sequence counter.
To avoid the sequence counter protection we restrict the return value
to unsigned 32bit on 32bit machines. This covers ~136 years of uptime
and therefor an overflow is not expected to hit anytime soon.
To avoid math in the function we calculate the current seconds portion
of CLOCK_MONOTONIC when the timekeeper gets updated in
tk_update_ktime_data() similar to the CLOCK_REALTIME counterpart
xtime_sec.

If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll
create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we
use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing
a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize
sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the
size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes
from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires
and we're going to deliver the signal.
Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The nohz full functionality depends on IRQ work to trigger its own
interrupts. As it's used to restart the tick, we can't rely on the tick
fallback for irq work callbacks, ie: we can't use the tick to restart
the tick itself.
Lets reject the full dynticks initialization if that arch support isn't
available.
As a side effect, this makes sure that nohz kick is never called from
the tick. That otherwise would result in illegal hrtimer self-cancellation
and lockup.

The nohz full kick, which restarts the tick when any resource depend
on it, can't be executed anywhere given the operation it does on timers.
If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that
we run into a deadlock.
This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make
sure that the kick runs on a virgin context.
However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated
self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't
support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are
also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback.
Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank.
More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the
tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling
an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless
loop:

Information about the support for this ability on ARM64 is obtained on
init_IRQ() which initialize the pointer to __smp_call_function.
Since tick_init() is called right after init_IRQ(), this is a good place
to call tick_nohz_init() and prepare for that dependency.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.
The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

[jstultz: minor style tweak]
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;

Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.
The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).
Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.
This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.
In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().
This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the
next jiffies.
However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is
in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode
because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some
randomly deferred future.
So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode.
This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable
scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other
hrtimer is pending.

When we reach the end of the tick handler, we unconditionally reschedule
the next tick to the next jiffy. Then on irq exit, the nohz code
overrides that setting if needed and defers the next tick as far away in
the future as possible.
Now in the best dynticks case, when we actually don't need any tick in
the future (ie: expires == KTIME_MAX), low-res and high-res behave
differently. What we want in this case is to cancel the next tick
programmed by the previous one. That's what we do in high-res mode. OTOH
we lack a low-res mode equivalent of hrtimer_cancel() so we simply don't
do anything in this case and the next tick remains scheduled to jiffies + 1.
As a result, in low-res mode, when the dynticks code determines that no
tick is needed in the future, we can recursively get a spurious tick
every jiffy because then the next tick is always reprogrammed from the
tick handler and is never cancelled. And this can happen indefinetly
until some subsystem actually needs a precise tick in the future and only
then we eventually overwrite the previous tick handler setting to defer
the next tick.
We are fixing this by introducing the ONESHOT_STOPPED mode which will
let us pause a clockevent when no further interrupt is needed. Meanwhile
we can't expect all drivers to support this new mode.
So lets reduce much of the symptoms by skipping the nohz-blind tick
rescheduling from the tick-handler when the CPU is in dynticks mode.
That tick rescheduling wrongly assumed periodicity and the low-res
dynticks code can't cancel such decision. This breaks the recursive (and
thus the worst) part of the problem. In the worst case now, we'll get
only one extra tick due to uncancelled tick scheduled before we entered
dynticks mode.
This also removes a needless clockevent write on idle ticks. Since those
clock write are usually considered to be slow, it's a general win.

- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.

During suspend we call sched_clock_poll() to update the epoch and
accumulated time and reprogram the sched_clock_timer to fire
before the next wrap-around time. Unfortunately,
sched_clock_poll() doesn't restart the timer, instead it relies
on the hrtimer layer to do that and during suspend we aren't
calling that function from the hrtimer layer. Instead, we're
reprogramming the expires time while the hrtimer is enqueued,
which can cause the hrtimer tree to be corrupted. Furthermore, we
restart the timer during suspend but we update the epoch during
resume which seems counter-intuitive.
Let's fix this by saving the accumulated state and canceling the
timer during suspend. On resume we can update the epoch and
restart the timer similar to what we would do if we were starting
the clock for the first time.

By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.
This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.
This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.
This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.

The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.
Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.
The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.
Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.
1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.
2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.
This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.
Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.

In the GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD update_vsyscall implementation,
we take the tk_xtime() value, which returns a timespec64, and
store it in a timespec.
This luckily is ok, since the only architectures that use
GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD are ia64 and ppc64, which are both
64 bit systems where timespec64 is the same as a timespec.
Even so, for cleanliness reasons, use the conversion function

Tracers want a correlated time between the kernel instrumentation and
user space. We really do not want to export sched_clock() to user
space, so we need to provide something sensible for this.
Using separate data structures with an non blocking sequence count
based update mechanism allows us to do that. The data structure
required for the readout has a sequence counter and two copies of the
timekeeping data.
On the update side:
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[0], tk);
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[1], tk);
On the reader side:
do {
seq = tkf->seq;
smp_rmb();
idx = seq & 0x01;
now = now(tkf->base[idx]);
smp_rmb();
} while (seq != tkf->seq)
So if a NMI hits the update of base[0] it will use base[1] which is
still consistent, but this timestamp is not guaranteed to be monotonic
across an update.
The timestamp is calculated by:
now = base_mono + clock_delta * slope
So if the update lowers the slope, readers who are forced to the
not yet updated second array are still using the old steeper slope.
tmono
^
| o n
| o n
| u
| o
|o
|12345678---> reader order
o = old slope
u = update
n = new slope
So reader 6 will observe time going backwards versus reader 5.
While other CPUs are likely to be able observe that, the only way
for a CPU local observation is when an NMI hits in the middle of
the update. Timestamps taken from that NMI context might be ahead
of the following timestamps. Callers need to be aware of that and
deal with it.

Access to time requires to touch two cachelines at minimum
1) The timekeeper data structure
2) The clocksource data structure
The access to the clocksource data structure can be avoided as almost
all clocksource implementations ignore the argument to the read
callback, which is a pointer to the clocksource.
But the core needs to touch it to access the members @read and @mask.
So we are better off by copying the @read function pointer and the
@mask from the clocksource to the core data structure itself.
For the most used ktime_get() access all required data including the
@read and @mask copies fits together with the sequence counter into a
single 64 byte cacheline.
For the other time access functions we touch in the current code three
cache lines in the worst case. But with the clocksource data copies we
can reduce that to two adjacent cachelines, which is more efficient
than disjunct cache lines.

We can't do the TSC specific
if (now < cycle_last)
now = cycle_last;
for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has
CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if
now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative
result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0

Binding the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU resulted in
significant performance decreases for some workloads. For more detail,
see:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/395 for benchmark numbers
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/218 for CPU statistics
It turns out that it is necessary to bind the grace-period kthreads
to the timekeeping CPU only when all but CPU 0 is a nohz_full CPU
on the one hand or if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y on the other.
In other cases, it suffices to bind the grace-period kthreads to the
set of non-nohz_full CPUs.
This commit therefore creates a tick_nohz_not_full_mask that is the
complement of tick_nohz_full_mask, and then binds the grace-period
kthread to the set of CPUs indicated by this new mask, which covers
the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n case. The CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y
case still binds the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU.
This commit also includes the tick_nohz_full_enabled() check suggested
by Frederic Weisbecker.

In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
event. It works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we must also
make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode targets,
pretty much like timer list timers do.
Note that all dynticks modes are concerned: get_nohz_timer_target()
tries not to return remote idle CPUs but there is nothing to prevent
the elected target from entering dynticks idle mode until we lock its
base. It's also prefectly legal to enqueue hrtimers on full dynticks CPU.
So there are two requirements to correctly handle dynticks:
1) On target's tick stop time, we must not delay the next tick further
the next hrtimer.
2) On hrtimer queue time. If the tick of the target is stopped, we must
wake up that CPU such that it sees the new hrtimer and recalculate
the next tick accordingly.
The point 1 is well handled currently through get_nohz_timer_interrupt() and
cmp_next_hrtimer_event().
But the point 2 isn't handled at all.
Fixing this is easy though as we have the necessary API ready for that.
All we need is to call wake_up_nohz_cpu() on a target when a newly
enqueued hrtimer requires tick rescheduling, like timer list timer do.

In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock

Part of that job consist in kicking a dynticks hrtimer target in order

subsystem.
To prepare for fixing this, we need __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to be
able to resolve the CPU target associated to a hrtimer's object
'cpu_base' so that the kick can be centralized there.

When a timer is enqueued or modified on a dynticks target, that CPU
must re-evaluate the next tick to service that timer.
The tick re-evaluation is performed by an IPI kick on the target.
Now while we correctly call wake_up_nohz_cpu() from add_timer_on(), the
mod_timer*() API family doesn't support so well dynticks targets.
The reason for this is likely that __mod_timer() isn't supposed to
select an idle target for a timer, unless that target is the current
CPU, in which case a dynticks idle kick isn't actually needed.
But there is a small race window lurking behind that assumption: the
elected target has all the time to turn dynticks idle between the call
to get_nohz_timer_target() and the locking of its base. Hence a risk
that we enqueue a timer on a dynticks idle destination without kicking
it. As a result, the timer might be serviced too late in the future.
Also a target elected by __mod_timer() can be in full dynticks mode
and thus require to be kicked as well. And unlike idle dynticks, this
concern both local and remote targets.
To fix this whole issue, lets centralize the dynticks kick to
internal_add_timer() so that it is well handled for all sort of timer
enqueue. Even timer migration is concerned so that a full dynticks target
is correctly kicked as needed when timers are migrating to it.

Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock
possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping
seqlock.
This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can
cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read
the time.
Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is:
printk
vprintk_emit
console_unlock
up(&console_sem)
__up
wake_up_process
try_to_wake_up
ttwu_do_activate
ttwu_activate
activate_task
enqueue_task
enqueue_task_fair
hrtick_update
hrtick_start_fair
hrtick_start_fair
get_time
ktime_get
--> endless loop on
read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...)
This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously
named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.

is_error_status() is an inline function always called with the
global time_status as an argument, so there's zero functional
difference with this change, but the non-CONFIG_NTP_PPS version
uses the passed-in argument, while the CONFIG_NTP_PPS one ignores
its argument and uses the global.
Looks like is_error_status was refactored out, but someone forgot
to change the logic to check the local argument value.
Thus this patch makes it use the argument always; shorter variable
names are good.

In tick_do_update_jiffies64() we are processing ticks only if delta is
greater than tick_period. This is what we are supposed to do here and
it broke a bit with this patch:
commit 47a1b796 (tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the
jiffies lock)
With above patch, we might end up calling update_wall_time() even if
delta is found to be smaller that tick_period. Fix this by returning
when the delta is less than tick period.

In commit 47a1b79630 ("tick/timekeeping: Call
update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock"), we moved to calling
clock_was_set() due to the fact that we were no longer holding
the timekeeping or jiffies lock.
However, there is still the problem that clock_was_set()
triggers an IPI, which cannot be done from the timer's hard irq
context, and will generate WARN_ON warnings.
Apparently in my earlier testing, I'm guessing I didn't bump the
dmesg log level, so I somehow missed the WARN_ONs.
Thus we need to revert back to calling clock_was_set_delayed().

The generic sched_clock registration function was previously
done lockless, due to the fact that it was expected to be called
only once. However, now there are systems that may register
multiple sched_clock sources, for which the lack of locking has
casued problems:
If two sched_clock sources are registered we may end up in a
situation where a call to sched_clock() may be accessing the
epoch cycle count for the old counter and the cycle count for the
new counter. This can lead to confusing results where
sched_clock() values jump and then are reset to 0 (due to the way
the registration function forces the epoch_ns to be 0).
Fix this by reorganizing the registration function to hold the
seqlock for as short a time as possible while we update the
clock_data structure for a new counter. We also put any
accumulated time into epoch_ns instead of resetting the time to
0 so that the clock doesn't reset after each successful
registration.

AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.
The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:
clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
tick_setup(local_apic);
...
idle()
tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
halt();
Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:
local_apic_timer_interrupt()
tick_handle_periodic();
softirq()
tick_init_highres();
cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);
So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.
The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.
The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.
Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
has a changelog :)

On some architectures, in certain CPU deep idle states the local timers stop.
An external clock device is used to wakeup these CPUs. The kernel support for the
wakeup of these CPUs is provided by the tick broadcast framework by using the
external clock device as the wakeup source.
However not all implementations of architectures provide such an external
clock device. This patch includes support in the broadcast framework to handle
the wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle states on such systems by queuing a hrtimer
on one of the CPUs, which is meant to handle the wakeup of CPUs in deep idle states.
This patchset introduces a pseudo clock device which can be registered by the
archs as tick_broadcast_device in the absence of a real external clock
device. Once registered, the broadcast framework will work as is for these
architectures as long as the archs take care of the BROADCAST_ENTER
notification failing for one of the CPUs. This CPU is made the stand by CPU to
handle wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle and it *must not enter deep idle states*.
The CPU with the earliest wakeup is chosen to be this CPU. Hence this way the
stand by CPU dynamically moves around and so does the hrtimer which is queued
to trigger at the next earliest wakeup time. This is consistent with the case where
an external clock device is present. The smp affinity of this clock device is
set to the CPU with the earliest wakeup. This patchset handles the hotplug of
the stand by CPU as well by moving the hrtimer on to the CPU handling the CPU_DEAD
notification.

This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions
called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit().
These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action:
we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting
on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping
catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry.
This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it
got forgotten in the mass.

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and
the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time()

Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer().
This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed()

call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock
to be acquired.

As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
hrtimer locks -> timekeeping locks
clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.
But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.
Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep
enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message:

So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.
This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

In 780427f0e1 (Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock
gtod notifier), logic was added to pass a CLOCK_WAS_SET
notification to the pvclock notifier chain.
While that patch added a action flag returned from
accumulate_nsecs_to_secs(), it only uses the returned value
in one location, and not in the logarithmic accumulation.
This means if a leap second triggered during the logarithmic
accumulation (which is most likely where it would happen),
the notification that the clock was set would not make it to
the pv notifiers.
This patch extends the logarithmic_accumulation pass down
that action flag so proper notification will occur.
This patch also changes the varialbe action -> clock_set
per Ingo's suggestion.

Since 48cdc135d4 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure
persist.
Unfortunately, the updates to the tai offset via adjtimex do not
trigger this update, causing adjustments to the tai offset to be
made and then over-written by the previous value at the next
update_wall_time() call.
This patch resovles the issue by calling timekeeping_update()
right after setting the tai offset.

If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the
command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware
support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens
because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case.

Since commit 1e75fa8be9 (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime
into xtime_sec - merged in v3.6), there has been an problem
with the error accounting in the timekeeping code, such that
when truncating to nanoseconds, we round up to the next nsec,
but the balancing adjustment to the ntp_error value was dropped.
This causes 1ns per tick drift forward of the clock.
In 3.7, this logic was isolated to only GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
architectures (s390, ia64, powerpc).
The fix is simply to balance the accounting and to subtract the
added nanosecond from ntp_error. This allows the internal long-term
clock steering to keep the clock accurate.
While this fix removes the regression added in 1e75fa8be9, the
ideal solution is to move away from GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
and use the new VSYSCALL method, which avoids entirely the
nanosecond granular rounding, and the resulting short-term clock
adjustment oscillation needed to keep long term accurate time.
[ jstultz: Many thanks to Martin for his efforts identifying this
subtle bug, and providing the fix. ]

RCU and the fine grained idle time accounting functions check
tick_nohz_enabled. But that variable is merily telling that NOHZ has
been enabled in the config and not been disabled on the command line.
But it does not tell anything about nohz being active. That's what all
this should check for.
Matthew reported, that the idle accounting on his old P1 machine
showed bogus values, when he enabled NOHZ in the config and did not
disable it on the kernel command line. The reason is that his machine
uses (refined) jiffies as a clocksource which explains why the "fine"
grained accounting went into lala land, because it depends on when the
system goes and leaves idle relative to the jiffies increment.
Provide a tick_nohz_active indicator and let RCU and the accounting
code use this instead of tick_nohz_enable.

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.
[ukl: move assignment to rnd after eventually changing mult, fix build
issue and correct comment with the right math]

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide

Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.
First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).
Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.
Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

On most ARM systems the per-cpu clockevents are truly per-cpu in
the sense that they can't be controlled on any other CPU besides
the CPU that they interrupt. If one of these clockevents were to
become a broadcast source we will run into a lot of trouble
because the broadcast source is enabled on the first CPU to go
into deep idle (if that CPU suffers from FEAT_C3_STOP) and that
could be a different CPU than what the clockevent is interrupting
(or even worse the CPU that the clockevent interrupts could be
offline).
Theoretically it's possible to support per-cpu clockevents as the
broadcast source but so far we haven't needed this and supporting
it is rather complicated. Let's just deny the possibility for now
until this becomes a reality (let's hope it never does!).

With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.
This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data
as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This
state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing
mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU
idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine.
The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which
also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing
RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the
timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long
enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state
variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally
to reset the state machine back into non-idle state.
For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's
force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price
of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle
state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually
small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which
do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive
the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of
CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time
definition.

The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens
in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be
difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the
target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second.
Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute
update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the
overall accuracy of the RTC much.

tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks
CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before
re-evaluating the need for the tick.
Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many()
that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate
the tick.
on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to
re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI
to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario.
So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all()
so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
more CPU-finegrained fashion.
Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively
enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that
we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking
and another range that does.
Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full
dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass
our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks
subsystem to the context tracking.
This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent
state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the
full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking
itself is still necessary everywhere.

The ARM architected system counter has at least 56 usable bits.
Add support for counters with more than 32 bits to the generic
sched_clock implementation so we can increase the time between
wakeups due to dealing with wrap-around on these devices while
benefiting from the irqtime accounting and suspend/resume
handling that the generic sched_clock code already has. On my
system using 56 bits over 32 bits changes the wraparound time
from a few minutes to an hour. For faster running counters (GHz
range) this is even more important because we may not be able to
execute the timer in time to deal with the wraparound if only 32
bits are used.
We choose a maxsec value of 3600 seconds because we assume no
system will go idle for more than an hour. In the future we may
need to increase this value.
Note: All users should switch over to the 64-bit read function so
we can remove setup_sched_clock() in favor of sched_clock_register().

more than 32 bits the wraparound time can be larger than what can
fit into the units that msecs_to_jiffies takes (unsigned int).
Luckily, the wraparound is initially calculated in nanoseconds

with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint

feature but doesn't use it.
The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by
either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note,
this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

On ARM systems the dummy clockevent is registered with the cpu
hotplug notifier chain before any other per-cpu clockevent. This
has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be
registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is
first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in
tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in
periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic()
unconditionally.
On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't
switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if
the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the
broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and
start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way
the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's
possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the
system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick.
Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast
source.

Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability)
we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented
that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already
switched to highres/nohz mode.
The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the
TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process
looks like this:
tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC);
clocksource_register(HPET);
clocksource_done_booting();
clocksource_select()
Selects HPET which is valid for high-res
switch_to_highres();
clocksource_register(TSC);
TSC is not selected, because it is not yet
flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES
clocksource_watchdog()
Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC
the current clocksource.
Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which
worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable,
then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again.
The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick
a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid
high res clocksource.
To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog
thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set.
To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to
install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through
clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out
the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the
select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread().
So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code
without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex
unlock/relock dance.

The recent implementation of a generic dummy timer resulted in a
different registration order of per cpu local timers which made the
broadcast control logic go belly up.
If the dummy timer is the first clock event device which is registered
for a CPU, then it is installed, the broadcast timer is initialized
and the CPU is marked as broadcast target.
If a real clock event device is installed after that, we can fail to
take the CPU out of the broadcast mask. In the worst case we end up
with two periodic timer events firing for the same CPU. One from the
per cpu hardware device and one from the broadcast.
Now the problem is that we have no way to distinguish whether the
system is in a state which makes broadcasting necessary or the
broadcast bit was set due to the nonfunctional dummy timer
installment.
To solve this we need to keep track of the system state seperately and
provide a more detailed decision logic whether we keep the CPU in
broadcast mode or not.
The old decision logic only clears the broadcast mode, if the newly
installed clock event device is not affected by power states.
The new logic clears the broadcast mode if one of the following is
true:
- The new device is not affected by power states.
- The system is not in a power state affected mode
- The system has switched to oneshot mode. The oneshot broadcast is
controlled from the deep idle state. The CPU is not in idle at
this point, so it's safe to remove it from the mask.
If we clear the broadcast bit for the CPU when a new device is
installed, we also shutdown the broadcast device when this was the
last CPU in the broadcast mask.
If the broadcast bit is kept, then we leave the new device in shutdown

When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast
logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to
oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without
updating the state and the timer handler.
CPU0 CPU1
per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode
and switched to broadcast
Switch to oneshot mode
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask,
tick_broadcast_mask);
broadcast device mode = oneshot
Timer interrupt
irq_enter()
tick_check_oneshot_broadcast()
dev->set_mode(ONESHOT);
tick_handle_periodic()
if (dev->mode == ONESHOT)
dev->next_event += period;
FAIL.
We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was
in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened.
We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because
otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up
anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode.
So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU
has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device
untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode.
This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main
user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The
nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently
broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast
code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.

In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation
mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far,
but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a
constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
What happens is:
CPU0 CPU1
idle()
arch_idle()
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF);
set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask
if (cpu_offline())
arch_cpu_dead()
cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1)
cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL
broadcast interrupt
dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS
We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in
tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid
cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks.
Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the
tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot
broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the
machine.

If the clock was set (stepped), set the action parameter to functions
in the pvclock gtod notifier chain to non-zero. This allows the
callee to only do work if the clock was stepped.
This will be used on Xen as the synchronization of the Xen wallclock
to the control domain's (dom0) system time will be done with this
notifier and updating on every timer tick is unnecessary and too
expensive.

On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy
clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy
clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but
we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents
before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the
rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating
of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot
hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs
besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick
device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy
devices.
If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is
global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should
choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of
the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take
the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick
device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into
broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.
This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.
On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:
WARNING: at kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c:578 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:
1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer
2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
idle cpu CPU2
3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
runs the following code:
[...]
if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
goto out;
if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
goto out;
[...]
So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
first condition and jump out without clearing the
tick_broadcast_pending_mask.
4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
warning.
The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.
Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.

There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from
the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this
scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cyc = read_sched_clock()
cyc_to_sched_clock()
update_sched_clock()
...
cd.epoch_cyc = cyc;
epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc;
...
epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc)
The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we
calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting
the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely
larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that
will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing
time to jump forward too much.
Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has
stabilized.

Since 7300711e ("clockevents: broadcast fixup possible waiters"),
the timekeeping duty is assigned to the CPU that handles the tick
broadcast clock device by the time it is set in one shot mode.
This is an issue in full dynticks mode where the timekeeping duty
must stay handled by the boot CPU for now. Otherwise it prevents
secondary CPUs from offlining and this breaks
suspend/shutdown/reboot/...
As it appears there is no reason for this timekeeping duty to be
moved to the broadcast CPU, besides nothing prevent it from being
later re-assigned to another target, let's simply remove it.

In tick_nohz_cpu_down_callback() if the cpu is the one handling
timekeeping, we must return something that stops the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
notifiers and then start notify CPU_DOWN_FAILED on the already called
notifier call backs.
However traditional errno values are not handled by the notifier unless
these are encapsulated using errno_to_notifier().
Hence the current -EINVAL is misinterpreted and converted to junk after
notifier_to_errno(), leaving the notifier subsystem to random behaviour
such as eventually allowing the cpu to go down.
Fix this by using the standard NOTIFY_BAD instead.

Since commit 31ade30692, timekeeping_init()
checks for presence of persistent clock by attempting to read a non-zero
time value. This is an issue on platforms where persistent_clock (instead
is implemented as a free-running counter (instead of an RTC) starting
from zero on each boot and running during suspend. Examples are some ARM
platforms (e.g. PandaBoard).
An attempt to read such a clock during timekeeping_init() may return zero
value and falsely declare persistent clock as missing. Additionally, in
the above case suspend times may be accounted twice (once from
timekeeping_resume() and once from rtc_resume()), resulting in a gradual
drift of system time.
This patch does a run-time correction of the issue by doing the same check
during timekeeping_suspend().
A better long-term solution would have to return error when trying to read
non-existing clock and zero when trying to read an uninitialized clock, but
that would require changing all persistent_clock implementations.
This patch addresses the immediate breakage, for now.

commit 26517f3e (tick: Avoid programming the local cpu timer if
broadcast pending) added a warning if the cpu enters broadcast mode
again while the pending bit is still set. Meelis reported that the
warning triggers. There are two corner cases which have been not
considered:
1) cpuidle calls clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
twice. That can result in the following scenario
CPU0 CPU1
cpuidle_idle_call()
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
set cpu in tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask
broadcast interrupt
event expired for cpu1
set pending bit
acpi_idle_enter_simple()
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
WARN_ON(pending bit)
Move the WARN_ON into the section where we enter broadcast mode so
it wont provide false positives on the second call.
2) safe_halt() enables interrupts, so a broadcast interrupt can be
delivered befor the broadcast mode is disabled. That sets the
pending bit for the CPU which receives the broadcast
interrupt. Though the interrupt is delivered right away from the
broadcast handler and leaves the pending bit stale.
Clear the pending bit for the current cpu in the broadcast handler.

With the module refcount held for the current clocksource there is no
way to unload the module.
Provide a sysfs interface which allows to unbind the clocksource. One
could argue that the clocksource override could be (ab)used to do so,
but the clocksource override cannot be used from the kernel itself,
while an unbind function can be used to programmatically check whether
a clocksource can be shutdown or not.
The unbind functionality uses the new skip current feature of
clocksource_select and verifies that a fallback clocksource has been
installed. If the clocksource which should be unbound is the current
clocksource and no fallback can be found, unbind returns -EBUSY.
This does not support the unbinding of a clocksource which is used as

If a clocksource has a (wrong) high rating, but can't be used as a
timebase for oneshot tick mode, it is unconditionally selected even
when the system is already in oneshot tick mode. This causes full

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.
In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.
While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on
CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned
up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick
device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data
and dereferences a NULL pointer.
Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:
- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.
- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:
- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.
The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.
This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:
- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.
- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.
- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.
- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.
- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.

The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments
with a single task running without a periodic tick.
In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(),
keep at least 1 tick per second.
This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler
accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity.
Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime,
avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details
handled in sched_class::task_tick().
This limitation will be removed in the future once we get
these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

Pull more full-dynticks updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
* Get rid of the passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN (finally!)
* Preparation patch to remove the dependency on CONFIG_64BITS
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
to an active one.
The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.
We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
a "choice".
So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
for each cputime accounting choices.
v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
high frequency.
In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.
Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the
system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer
gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot
cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which
fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler
is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due
to highres mode not being active.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333
There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET
code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event
handler == NULL for a similar reason.
We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the
previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in
tick_setup_new_device().
The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(),
but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent
clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix
it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

Also this prepares to remove the dynamic check for

Interrupt exit is a natural place to stop the tick: it happens
after all events happening before and during the irq which
are liable to update the dependency on the tick occured. Also
it makes sure that any check on tick dependency is well ordered
against dynticks kick IPIs.
Bring in the infrastructure that performs the tick dependency
checks on irq exit and shut it down if these checks show that we
can do it safely.

The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
task are running or when a new timer list timer is
enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.
(Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing
a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)

Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
if passed by the user.
This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.

We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU
callbacks.
Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=
The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
to stop its tick.

The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.
Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.
To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.
We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.
But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try
to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device
is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs
to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource
is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer
from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless
we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered.
If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that
have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode
again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid
this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register
the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode
on all CPUs one more time.

When running with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/timer_list will fail

"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

In order to enforce backward compatibility with older
config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry
to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol
if present.
Namely we want:
config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol
bool
config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol
default NO_HZ
However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol
is not visible. And this is currently the case because
NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig
and alike.
To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the
obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This
makes the "defaulting" to work.

* Static periodic tick
* Idle dynticks
* Full dynticks
At least for now, these are mutually exclusive choices, so
let's rely on the proper Kconfig feature to display these

A new entry CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is created and the old
CONFIG_NO_HZ maps to it for config file backward compatibility.
The old name was too general now that we have more
granular dynticks implementations.

We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.
As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.
It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.
On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.
But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:
1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE
We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.
So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.
Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)
This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.
So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.
Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

This way the full nohz CPUs can safely run with the tick
stopped with a guarantee that somebody else is taking
care of the jiffies and GTOD progression.
Once the duty is attributed to a CPU, it won't change. Also that
CPU can't enter into dyntick idle mode or be hot unplugged.
This may later be improved from a power consumption POV. At
least we should be able to share the duty amongst all CPUs
outside the full dynticks range. Then the duty could even be
shared with full dynticks CPUs when those can't stop their
tick for any reason.
But let's start with that very simple approach first.

[fix have_nohz_full_mask offcase]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:
* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.
* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.
Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*
An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

There are some new processors whose TSC clocksource won't stop during
suspend. Currently, after system resumes, kernel will use persistent
clock or RTC to compensate the sleep time, but with these nonstop
clocksources, we could skip the special compensation from external
sources, and just use current clocksource for time recounting.
This can solve some time drift bugs caused by some not-so-accurate or
error-prone RTC devices.
The current way to count suspended time is first try to use the persistent
clock, and then try the RTC if persistent clock can't be used. This
patch will change the trying order to:
suspend-nonstop clocksource -> persistent clock -> RTC
When counting the sleep time with nonstop clocksource, use an accurate way
suggested by Jason Gunthorpe to cover very large delta cycles.

On the CPU which gets woken along with the target CPU of the broadcast
the following happens:
deep_idle()
<-- spurious wakeup
broadcast_exit()
set forced bit
enable interrupts
<-- Nothing happens
disable interrupts
broadcast_enter()
<-- Here we observe the forced bit is set
deep_idle()
Now after that the target CPU of the broadcast runs the broadcast
handler and finds the other CPU in both the broadcast and the forced
mask, sends the IPI and stuff gets back to normal.
So it's not actually harmful, just more evidence for the theory, that
hardware designers have access to very special drug supplies.
Now there is no point in going back to deep idle just to wake up again
right away via an IPI. Provide a check which allows the idle code to
avoid the deep idle transition.

Some brilliant hardware implementations wake multiple cores when the
broadcast timer fires. This leads to the following interesting
problem:
CPU0 CPU1
wakeup from idle wakeup from idle
leave broadcast mode leave broadcast mode
restart per cpu timer restart per cpu timer
go back to idle
handle broadcast
(empty mask)
enter broadcast mode
programm broadcast device
enter broadcast mode
programm broadcast device
So what happens is that due to the forced reprogramming of the cpu
local timer, we need to set a event in the future. Now if we manage to
go back to idle before the timer fires, we switch off the timer and
arm the broadcast device with an already expired time (covered by
forced mode). So in the worst case we repeat the above ping pong
forever.
Unfortunately we have no information about what caused the wakeup, but
we can check current time against the expiry time of the local cpu. If
the local event is already in the past, we know that the broadcast
timer is about to fire and send an IPI. So we mark ourself as an IPI
target even if we left broadcast mode and avoid the reprogramming of
the local cpu timer.
This still leaves the possibility that a CPU which is not handling the
broadcast interrupt is going to reach idle again before the IPI
arrives. This can't be solved in the core code and will be handled in
follow up patches.

If the local cpu timer stops in deep idle, we arm the broadcast device
and get woken by an IPI. Now when we return from deep idle we reenable
the local cpu timer unconditionally before handling the IPI. But
that's a pointless exercise: the timer is already expired and the IPI
is on the way. And it's an expensive exercise as we use the forced
reprogramming mode so that we do not lose a timer event. This forced
reprogramming will loop at least once in the retry.
To avoid this reprogramming, we mark the cpu in a pending bit mask
before we send the IPI. Now when the IPI target cpu wakes up, it will
see the pending bit set and skip the reprogramming. The reprogramming
of the cpu local timer will happen in the IPI handler which runs the
cpu local timer interrupt function.

Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.
This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
preventing this problem.

A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated
largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.
The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even specify
the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device tree
as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes basically
touch every single platform in the process.
We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
"multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose
their headers to architecture independent code any more.
It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
removing broken and obsolete code.

Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function
for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected
to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power
states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag).
When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic
broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an
attempt is made to broadcast to them.
This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for
devices which require broadcast in low power states.

At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock()
it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest. This time
difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock,
and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot.
The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time
to the hardware clock in the ntp code. This patch adds
persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied
in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware
clock.
x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a
+/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time. Other arches, such
as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the
rtc and will see this problem.

Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based
cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand"
virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies
on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel
boundaries.
This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in
more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account
the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries.
Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between
tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the
overhead associated to user hooks.

Make the persistent clock check a kernel config option, so that some
platform can explicitely select it, also make CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS and
RTC_SYSTOHC depend on its non-existence, which could prevent the
persistent clock and RTC code from doing similar thing twice during
system's init/suspend/resume phases.
If the CONFIG_HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK=n, then no change happens for kernel
which still does the persistent clock check in timekeeping_init().

Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
In current kernel, there are several places which need to check
whether there is a persistent clock for the platform. Current check
is done by calling the read_persistent_clock() and validating its
return value.
So one optimization is to do the check only once in timekeeping_init(),
and use a flag persistent_clock_exist to record it.
v2: Add a has_persistent_clock() helper function, as suggested by John.

The purpose of this option is to allow ARM/etc systems that rely on the
class RTC subsystem to have the same kind of automatic NTP based
synchronization that we have on PC platforms. Today ARM does not
implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class
RTC system.
When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic
rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and
is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads
the RTC at boot.
Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used
first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers
need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for
PPC is included in this patch.
Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.
Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().
This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.

klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.
However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.
To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.
cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8
C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will
predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time.
There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat)
at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at
Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu
governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle
CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally
idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5
seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is
idle until break event occurs.
In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep
C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice
deep C-state stays at >99.98%.
In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and
choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater
than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is
triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered
and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively.
When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor
will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates
deeper C-states possibility.
Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit:

We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent
on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode
is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to
sleep 1 second in deep C-state.
While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%.
