| * | | | clockevents: Stop unused clockevent devicesViresh Kumar2015-05-193-4/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU, clockevent device can now be stopped by switching to ONESHOT_STOPPED state. The natural place for handling this transition is tick_program_event(). On 'expires == KTIME_MAX', we skip programming the event and so we need to fix such call sites as well, to always call tick_program_event() irrespective of the expires value. Once the clockevent device is required again, check if it was earlier put into ONESHOT_STOPPED state. If yes, switch its state to ONESHOT before programming its event. To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the case where we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't configured in ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

| * | | | clockevents: Introduce CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT_STOPPED stateViresh Kumar2015-05-192-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When no timers/hrtimers are pending, the expiry time is set to a special value: 'KTIME_MAX'. This normally happens with NO_HZ_{IDLE|FULL} in both LOWRES/HIGHRES modes. When 'expiry == KTIME_MAX', we either cancel the 'tick-sched' hrtimer (NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES) or skip reprogramming clockevent device (NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES). But, the clockevent device is already reprogrammed from the tick-handler for next tick. As the clock event device is programmed in ONESHOT mode it will at least fire one more time (unnecessarily). Timers on few implementations (like arm_arch_timer, etc.) only support PERIODIC mode and their drivers emulate ONESHOT over that. Which means that on these platforms we will get spurious interrupts periodically (at last programmed interval rate, normally tick rate). In order to avoid spurious interrupts, the clockevent device should be stopped or its interrupts should be masked. A simple (yet hacky) solution to get this fixed could be: update hrtimer_force_reprogram() to always reprogram clockevent device and update clockevent drivers to STOP generating events (or delay it to max time) when 'expires' is set to KTIME_MAX. But the drawback here is that every clockevent driver has to be hacked for this particular case and its very easy for new ones to miss this. However, Thomas suggested to add an optional state ONESHOT_STOPPED to solve this problem: lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/9/508. This patch adds support for ONESHOT_STOPPED state in clockevents core. It will only be available to drivers that implement the state-specific callbacks instead of the legacy ->set_mode() callback.

This typically happens when a device is swapped out by tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens, the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.

| * | | | hrtimer: Allow concurrent hrtimer_start() for self restarting timersPeter Zijlstra2015-04-221-3/+9

If hrtimer::function then returns HRTIMER_RESTART we'll hit the BUG_ON because HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED will be set. Since the above is a perfectly valid scenario, remove the BUG_ON and make the enqueue_hrtimer() call conditional on the timer not being enqueued already. NOTE: in that concurrent scenario its entirely common for both sites to want to modify the hrtimer, since hrtimers don't provide serialization themselves be sure to provide some such that the hrtimer::function and the hrtimer_start() caller don't both try and fudge the expiration state at the same time. To that effect, add a WARN when someone tries to forward an already enqueued timer, the most common way to change the expiry of self restarting timers. Ideally we'd put the WARN in everything modifying the expiry but most of that is inlines and we don't need the bloat.

That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

We discussed whether we change the return value and force all start sites to handle that the timer is already expired, but that would be a Herculean task and I'm not sure whether its a good idea to enforce that handling on everyone. A simpler solution is to enforce a timer interrupt instead of raising and scheduling a softirq. Just use the existing infrastructure to do so and remove all the softirq leftovers. The HRTIMER softirq enum is now unused, but kept around because trace parsers rely on the existing numbering.

We want to use it now, but in __remove_hrtimer() the update happens after the calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() which has to evaluate all clock bases for the next expiring timer. So in case the last timer of a clock base got removed we still see the active bit and therefor evaluate the clock base for no value.

And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters. See the following bugzilla for details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353 This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if appropriate after the division, it also changes the return type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected. Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both 32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure no such use cases creep in.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However, the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure. Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer. This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

* | | sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to ↵Jason Low2015-05-081-29/+50

Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock. Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems (such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats. This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced from 30% down to less than 1%. Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time. However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue. An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It looks like clockevents_unbind is being exported by mistake as: - it is static; - it is not listed in include/linux/clockchips.h; - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(clockevents_unbind) follows clockevents_unbind_device() implementation. I think clockevents_unbind_device should be exported instead. This is going to be used to teardown Hyper-V clockevent devices on module unload.
