For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> CC: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> CC: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: NChen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> Reported-by: Nzhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Tested-by: NYong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that.

How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits. Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.

Add a clocksource suspend callback. This callback can be used by the clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev driver. One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource too early. With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm callbacks unused.

The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of time. Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the clock source is registered.

MIPS has two functions to calculcate the mult/shift factors for clock sources and clock events at run time. ARM needs such functions as well. Implement a function which calculates the mult/shift factors based on the frequencies to which and from which is converted. The function also has a parameter to specify the minimum conversion range in seconds. This range is guaranteed not to produce a 64bit overflow when a value is multiplied with the calculated mult factor. The larger the conversion range the less becomes the conversion accuracy. Provide two inline wrappers which handle clock events and clock sources. For clock events the "from" frequency is nano seconds per second which corresponds to 1GHz and "to" is the device frequency. For clock sources "from" is the device frequency and "to" is nano seconds per second.

Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it: To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex. Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held. native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex and the deadlock is complete. The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock and then registered it becomes active even if the system is in one-shot mode. Move the override check from sysfs_override_clocksource to the clocksource selection. That fixes the bug and simplifies the code. The check in clocksource_register for double registration of the same clocksource is removed without replacement. To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is defined that returns the jiffies clocksource. The architecture code can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource, e.g. the TOD clock on s390.

Setup clocksource mult_orig in clocksource_enable(). Clocksource drivers can save power by using keeping the device clock disabled while the clocksource is unused. In practice this means that the enable() and disable() callbacks perform clk_enable() and clk_disable(). The enable() callback may also use clk_get_rate() to get the clock rate from the clock framework. This information can then be used to calculate the shift and mult variables. Currently the mult_orig variable is setup from mult at registration time only. This is conflicting with the above case since the clock is disabled and the mult variable is not yet calculated at the time of registration. Moving the mult_orig setup code to clocksource_enable() allows us to both handle the common case with no enable() callback and the mult-changed-after-enable() case.

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing struct clocksource. The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are * the APIs are clearly related * struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs * avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h? timecounter.h?) As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds * struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles * struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which provides a nanosecond counter * only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally and not exposed to users of timecounter The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds. Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

In talking with Josip Loncaric, and his work on clock synchronization (see btime.sf.net), he mentioned that for really close synchronization, it is useful to have access to "hardware time", that is a notion of time that is not in any way adjusted by the clock slewing done to keep close time sync. Part of the issue is if we are using the kernel's ntp adjusted representation of time in order to measure how we should correct time, we can run into what Paul McKenney aptly described as "Painting a road using the lines we're painting as the guide". I had been thinking of a similar problem, and was trying to come up with a way to give users access to a purely hardware based time representation that avoided users having to know the underlying frequency and mask values needed to deal with the wide variety of possible underlying hardware counters. My solution is to introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. This exposes a nanosecond based time value, that increments starting at bootup and has no frequency adjustments made to it what so ever. The time is accessed from userspace via the posix_clock_gettime() syscall, passing CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as the clock_id.

The clocksource frequency is represented by clocksource->mult/2^(clocksource->shift). Currently, when NTP makes adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult value. This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied. This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when switching back and forth between clocksources. This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig pair. The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource adjustments are done only to the mult value. This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw time, which is introduced in a following patch.

Remove the leap second handling from second_overflow(), which doesn't have to check for it every second anymore. With CONFIG_NO_HZ this also makes sure the leap second is handled close to the full second. Additionally this makes it possible to abort a leap second properly by resetting the STA_INS/STA_DEL status bits.

On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr). This patch adds a hook for architectures that set CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also updatee their copy in the vdso.
