| * hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread contextThomas Gleixner2013-07-051-22/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

| * clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capabilityThomas Gleixner2013-07-052-15/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | * posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime ↵KOSAKI Motohiro2013-07-041-3/+36

However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop signal->cputimer accounting. This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

| | * posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exitFrederic Weisbecker2013-07-031-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta before expiring of its timers. This is done from the following places: * When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to the timer struct instead of the absolute value. (See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() ) * When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule(). If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time is performed. Then the given task's reference is released. (See clear_dead_task() ). The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another and deeper debate. The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix up very well together. More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario: 1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit() and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative delta. 2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on clear_dead_task() because tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD. The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return a wrong result. To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time. It doesn't bring much value on its own. The caching done from posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough. And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are dealing with a relative cached of absolute value. But it would be racy. The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its target task reference. Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to avoid circular lock against the sighand lock. There is just no reason to maintain this. The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2 seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value. Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds: #include <sys/time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <pthread.h> static timer_t id; static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new; static void *thread(void *unused) { int err; struct timeval start, end, diff; timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't create timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Arm 10 sec timer */ err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't set timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */ gettimeofday(&start, NULL); do { gettimeofday(&end, NULL); timersub(&end, &start, &diff); } while (diff.tv_sec < 2); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { pthread_t pthread; int err; err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL); if (err) { perror("Can't create thread\n"); return -1; } pthread_join(pthread, NULL); /* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */ sleep(1); err = timer_gettime(id, &new); if (err) perror("Can't get timer value\n"); printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec); return 0; } Before the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 6 2278074 After the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 8 1158766 Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

| | * posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule()Frederic Weisbecker2013-07-031-0/+1

If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the remaining timer expiration delta for further reads. Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it. As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further reads of that timer to return junk values. Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide timers. This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify(). This implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers to handle for that task. So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic and the warning that came along: kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule': kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

| * | tick: Sanitize broadcast control logicThomas Gleixner2013-07-022-12/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 state and rely on the broadcast to deliver the timer interrupts via the broadcast ipis.

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.

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.

The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC synchronized. On a guest this is pointless. On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick and when the clock was set. Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock. Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11 minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.

If a guest is started before NTP is synchronized it may see an incorrect wallclock time. Use the pvclock_gtod notifier chain to receive a notification when the system time has changed and update the wallclock to match. This chain is called on every timer tick and we want to avoid an extra (expensive) hypercall on every tick. Because dom0 has historically never provided a very accurate wallclock and guests do not expect one, we can do this simply: the wallclock is only updated if the clock was set.

| * | timekeeping: Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock gtod notifierDavid Vrabel2013-06-282-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

If other CPUs are online then their timers will not be corrected and they may fire at the wrong time. When running as a Xen guest, this assumption is not true. Non-boot CPUs are only stopped with IRQs disabled instead of offlining them. This is a performance optimization as disabling the CPUs would add an unacceptable amount of additional downtime during a live migration (> 200 ms for a 4 VCPU guest). hrtimers_resume() cannot call on_each_cpu(retrigger_next_event,...) as the other CPUs will be stopped with IRQs disabled. Instead, defer the call to the next softirq.

Since 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function" it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST). This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.

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.

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.

The timer has two 16bit subtimers within its memory mapped I/O interface but only the first can generate interrupts. The first subtimer is used to generate clockevents but only if an interrupt number and register is given. The interrupt acknowledgement mechanism is a little strange because the interrupt mask and acknowledge registers are located in another memory mapped I/O peripheral. The address of this register is passed to the driver through device tree bindings. The second subtimer is used as a clocksource because it isn't capable of generating an interrupt.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems we made a mistake when creating dw_apb_timer_of.c: picoxcell sched_clock had parts that were not related to dw_apb_timer, yet we moved them to dw_apb_timer_of, and tried to use them on socfpga. This results in system where user/system time is not measured properly, as demonstrated by time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=100000 count=100 So this patch switches sched_clock to hardware that exists on both platforms, and adds missing of_node_put() in dw_apb_timer_init().

| * | | ktime: Add __must_check prefix to ktime_to_timespec_condDaniel Borkmann2013-05-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function is currently mainly used in the networking code and if others start using it, they must check the result, otherwise it cannot be determined if the timespec conversion suceeded. Currently no user lacks this check, but make future users aware of a possible misusage. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
| * | | ktime: Use macro NSEC_PER_USEC where appropriateLiu Ying2013-05-281-3/+4
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've got the macro NSEC_PER_USEC defined in header file include/linux/time.h. To make the code decent, this patch replaces the immediate number 1000 to convert bewteen a time value in microseconds and one in nanoseconds with the macro NSEC_PER_USEC.

| * | clockevents: Implement unbind functionalityThomas Gleixner2013-05-165-4/+162
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide a sysfs interface to allow unbinding of clockevent devices. The device is unbound if it is unused or if there is a replacement device available. Unbinding of broadcast devices is not supported as we don't want to foster that nonsense. If no replacement device is available the unbind returns -EBUSY. Unbind is available from the kernel and through sysfs, which is necessary to drop the module refcount.
