* clocksource: Convert s[n]printf() to sysfs_emit()Li Zhijian2024-04-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per filesystems/sysfs.rst, show() should only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned to user space. coccinelle complains that there are still a couple of functions that use snprintf(). Convert them to sysfs_emit().

* clocksource: Make watchdog and suspend-timing multiplication overflow safeAdrian Hunter2024-04-081-22/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop, the clocksource_cyc2ns() calculation will eventually overflow. Add protection against that. Simplify by folding together clocksource_delta() and clocksource_cyc2ns() into cycles_to_nsec_safe(). Check against max_cycles, falling back to a slower higher precision calculation.

* clocksource: Scale the watchdog read retries automaticallyFeng Tang2024-02-211-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns, wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'. sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152) clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896. clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs. The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta (latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs. There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime. Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

* clocksource: Skip watchdog check for large watchdog intervalsJiri Wiesner2024-01-251-1/+24

Both the cs_nsec and the wd_nsec value indicate that the readout interval was circa 14.5 seconds. The observed behaviour is that watchdog checks failed for large readout intervals on 8 NUMA node machines. This indicates that the size of the skew was directly proportinal to the length of the readout interval on those machines. The measured clocksource skew, 668 microseconds, was evaluated against a threshold (the md variable) that is suited for readout intervals of roughly WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, i.e. HZ >> 1, which is 0.5 second. The intention of 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold") was to tighten the threshold for evaluating skew and set the lower bound for the uncertainty_margin of clocksources to twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. Later in c37e85c135ce ("clocksource: Loosen clocksource watchdog constraints"), the WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW constant was increased to 125 microseconds to fit the limit of NTP, which is able to use a clocksource that suffers from up to 500 microseconds of skew per second. Both the TSC and the HPET use default uncertainty_margin. When the readout interval gets stretched the default uncertainty_margin is no longer a suitable lower bound for evaluating skew - it imposes a limit that is far stricter than the skew with which NTP can deal. The root causes of the skew being directly proportinal to the length of the readout interval are: * the inaccuracy of the shift/mult pairs of clocksources and the watchdog * the conversion to nanoseconds is imprecise for large readout intervals Prevent this by skipping the current watchdog check if the readout interval exceeds 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. Considering the maximum readout interval of 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, the current default uncertainty margin (of the TSC and HPET) corresponds to a limit on clocksource skew of 250 ppm (microseconds of skew per second). To keep the limit imposed by NTP (500 microseconds of skew per second) for all possible readout intervals, the margins would have to be scaled so that the threshold value is proportional to the length of the actual readout interval. As for why the readout interval may get stretched: Since the watchdog is executed in softirq context the expiration of the watchdog timer can get severely delayed on account of a ksoftirqd thread not getting to run in a timely manner. Surely, a system with such belated softirq execution is not working well and the scheduling issue should be looked into but the clocksource watchdog should be able to deal with it accordingly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bugs have been reported on 8 sockets x86 machines in which the TSC was wrongly disabled when the system is under heavy workload.

[ 821.067990] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet This can be reproduced by running memory intensive 'stream' tests, or some of the stress-ng subcases such as 'ioport'. The reason for these issues is the when system is under heavy load, the read latency of the clocksources can be very high. Even lightweight TSC reads can show high latencies, and latencies are much worse for external clocksources such as HPET or the APIC PM timer. These latencies can result in false-positive clocksource-unstable determinations. These issues were initially reported by a customer running on a production system, and this problem was reproduced on several generations of Xeon servers, especially when running the stress-ng test. These Xeon servers were not production systems, but they did have the latest steppings and firmware. Given that the clocksource watchdog is a continual diagnostic check with frequency of twice a second, there is no need to rush it when the system is under heavy load. Therefore, when high clocksource read latencies are detected, suspend the watchdog timer for 5 minutes.

* clocksource: Loosen clocksource watchdog constraintsPaul E. McKenney2023-01-031-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, MAX_SKEW_USEC is set to 100 microseconds, which has worked reasonably well. However, NTP is willing to tolerate 500 microseconds of skew per second, and a clocksource that is good enough for NTP should be good enough for the clocksource watchdog. The watchdog's skew is controlled by MAX_SKEW_USEC and the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option. However, these values are doubled before being associated with a clocksource's ->uncertainty_margin, and the ->uncertainty_margin values of the pair of clocksource's being compared are summed before checking against the skew. Therefore, set both MAX_SKEW_USEC and the default for the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option to 125 microseconds of skew per second, resulting in 500 microseconds of skew per second in the clocksource watchdog's skew comparison.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected") and commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during the test run. The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%. 4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were: [ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful benchmarks.

I think this is too small and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us. Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource, an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this. The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

* clocksource: Provide kernel module to test clocksource watchdogPaul E. McKenney2021-06-221-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. It would be good to have a way of testing the clocksource watchdog's ability to distinguish between these two causes of clock skew and instability. Therefore, provide a new clocksource-wdtest module selected by a new TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG Kconfig option. This module has a single module parameter named "holdoff" that provides the number of seconds of delay before testing should start, which defaults to zero when built as a module and to 10 seconds when built directly into the kernel. Very large systems that boot slowly may need to increase the value of this module parameter. This module uses hand-crafted clocksource structures to do its testing, thus avoiding messing up timing for the rest of the kernel and for user applications. This module first verifies that the ->uncertainty_margin field of the clocksource structures are set sanely. It then tests the delay-detection capability of the clocksource watchdog, increasing the number of consecutive delays injected, first provoking console messages complaining about the delays and finally forcing a clock-skew event. Unexpected test results cause at least one WARN_ON_ONCE() console splat. If there are no splats, the test has passed. Finally, it fuzzes the value returned from a clocksource to test the clocksource watchdog's ability to detect time skew. This module checks the state of its clocksource after each test, and uses WARN_ON_ONCE() to emit a console splat if there are any failures. This should enable all types of test frameworks to detect any such failures. This facility is intended for diagnostic use only, and should be avoided on production systems.

* clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew thresholdPaul E. McKenney2021-06-221-10/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is set to detect a 62.5-millisecond skew in a 500-millisecond WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. This requires that clocks be skewed by more than 12.5% in order to be marked unstable. Except that a clock that is skewed by that much is probably destroying unsuspecting software right and left. And given that there are now checks for false-positive skews due to delays between reading the two clocks, it should be possible to greatly decrease WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD, at least for fine-grained clocks such as TSC. Therefore, add a new uncertainty_margin field to the clocksource structure that contains the maximum uncertainty in nanoseconds for the corresponding clock. This field may be initialized manually, as it is for clocksource_tsc_early and clocksource_jiffies, which is copied to refined_jiffies. If the field is not initialized manually, it will be computed at clock-registry time as the period of the clock in question based on the scale and freq parameters to __clocksource_update_freq_scale() function. If either of those two parameters are zero, the tens-of-milliseconds WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is used as a cowardly alternative to dividing by zero. No matter how the uncertainty_margin field is calculated, it is bounded below by twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, that is, by 100 microseconds. Note that manually initialized uncertainty_margin fields are not adjusted, but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE() that triggers if any such field is less than twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. This WARN_ON_ONCE() is intended to discourage production use of the one-nanosecond uncertainty_margin values that are used to test the clock-skew code itself. The actual clock-skew check uses the sum of the uncertainty_margin fields of the two clocksource structures being compared. Integer overflow is avoided because the largest computed value of the uncertainty_margin fields is one billion (10^9), and double that value fits into an unsigned int. However, if someone manually specifies (say) UINT_MAX, they will get what they deserve. Note that the refined_jiffies uncertainty_margin field is initialized to TICK_NSEC, which means that skew checks involving this clocksource will be sufficently forgiving. In a similar vein, the clocksource_tsc_early uncertainty_margin field is initialized to 32*NSEC_PER_MSEC, which replicates the current behavior and allows custom setting if needed in order to address the rare skews detected for this clocksource in current mainline.

* clocksource: Limit number of CPUs checked for clock synchronizationPaul E. McKenney2021-06-221-2/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if skew is detected on a clock marked CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU, that clock is checked on all CPUs. This is thorough, but might not be what you want on a system with a few tens of CPUs, let alone a few hundred of them. Therefore, by default check only up to eight randomly chosen CPUs. Also provide a new clocksource.verify_n_cpus kernel boot parameter. A value of -1 says to check all of the CPUs, and a non-negative value says to randomly select that number of CPUs, without concern about selecting the same CPU multiple times. However, make use of a cpumask so that a given CPU will be checked at most once. Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> # For verify_n_cpus=1. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* clocksource: Check per-CPU clock synchronization when marked unstablePaul E. McKenney2021-06-221-0/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some sorts of per-CPU clock sources have a history of going out of synchronization with each other. However, this problem has purportedy been solved in the past ten years. Except that it is all too possible that the problem has instead simply been made less likely, which might mean that some of the occasional "Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable" messages might be due to desynchronization. How would anyone know? Therefore apply CPU-to-CPU synchronization checking to newly unstable clocksource that are marked with the new CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU flag. Lists of desynchronized CPUs are printed, with the caveat that if it is the reporting CPU that is itself desynchronized, it will appear that all the other clocks are wrong. Just like in real life.

* clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detectedPaul E. McKenney2021-06-221-6/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock was marked unstable. Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta between its pair of reads, the reads are retried. The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for the unstable marking will be apparent. Reported-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* clocksource: Revert "Remove kthread"Peter Zijlstra2018-09-061-10/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I turns out that the silly spawn kthread from worker was actually needed. clocksource_watchdog_kthread() cannot be called directly from clocksource_watchdog_work(), because clocksource_select() calls timekeeping_notify() which uses stop_machine(). One cannot use stop_machine() from a workqueue() due lock inversions wrt CPU hotplug. Revert the patch but add a comment that explain why we jump through such apparently silly hoops.

* time: Introduce one suspend clocksource to compensate the suspend timeBaolin Wang2018-07-191-0/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some hardware with multiple clocksources, we have coarse grained clocksources that support the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag, but which are less than ideal for timekeeping whereas other clocksources can be better candidates but halt on suspend. Currently, the timekeeping core only supports timing suspend using CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksources if that clocksource is the current clocksource for timekeeping. As a result, some architectures try to implement read_persistent_clock64() using those non-stop clocksources, but isn't really ideal, which will introduce more duplicate code. To fix this, provide logic to allow a registered SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksource, which isn't the current clocksource, to be used to calculate the suspend time.

* clocksource: Allow clocksource_mark_unstable() on unregistered clocksourcesPeter Zijlstra2018-05-021-16/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of how the code flips between tsc-early and tsc clocksources it might need to mark one or both unstable. The current code in mark_tsc_unstable() only worked because previously it registered the tsc clocksource once and then never touched it. Since it now unregisters the tsc-early clocksource, it needs to know if a clocksource got unregistered and the current cs->mult test doesn't work for that. Instead use list_empty(&cs->list) to test for registration. Furthermore, since clocksource_mark_unstable() needs to place the cs on the wd_list, it links the cs->list and cs->wd_list serialization. It must not see a clocsource registered (!empty cs->list) but already past dequeue_watchdog(). So place {en,de}queue{,_watchdog}() under the same lock. Provided cs->list is initialized to empty, this then allows us to unconditionally use clocksource_mark_unstable(), regardless of the registration state.
