      time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge · 833f32d7
      John Stultz 提交于
      Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result,
      the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the
      leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the
      second edge.
      
      This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based,
      but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra
      conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance
      overhead.
      
      However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME
      timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early,
      since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping
      timer, which then applies the leapsecond.
      
      This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar
      to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using
      the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just
      prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all
      applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful,
      since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.)
      
      However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to
      avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing.
      
      So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early,
      this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep
      enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which
      provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the
      leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer
      core from expiring timers too early.
      
      This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional
      overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second
      continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths.
      
      Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years
      ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance
      overhead.
      
      While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about
      strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch
      this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

      time: Rework debugging variables so they aren't global · 57d05a93
      John Stultz 提交于
      Ingo suggested that the timekeeping debugging variables
      recently added should not be global, and should be tied
      to the timekeeper's read_base.
      
      Thus this patch implements that suggestion.
      
      This version is different from the earlier versions
      as it keeps the variables in the timekeeper structure
      rather then in the tkr.

      timekeeping: Provide fast accessor to the seconds part of CLOCK_MONOTONIC · 9e3680b1
      Heena Sirwani 提交于
      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.
