      clocksource: add suspend callback · c54a42b1
      由 Magnus Damm 提交于 
      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.

      Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache" · 83f57a11
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This reverts commit 7bc7d637, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:

 "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
  2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
  nanoseconds field.

  He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
  overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
  sub-nanosecond accumulated time.

  Details:

   * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
  sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
  This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
  sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
  Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
  that rounding.

   * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
  xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.

   * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
  since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
  complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
  steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
  known to work.

   * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
  timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
  accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
  Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
  non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted  (those
  patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
  directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
  xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.

  Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the

This causes user space observerable time warps:

      nohz: Prevent clocksource wrapping during idle · 98962465
      由 Jon Hunter 提交于 
      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.

      time: Remove xtime_cache · 7bc7d637
      由 john stultz 提交于 
      With the prior logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of
possibly half a second off.

This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always
stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up
removing the xtime_cache related code.

This is a bit simpler, but still could use some wider testing.

      time: Implement logarithmic time accumulation · a092ff0f
      由 john stultz 提交于 
      Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ.
Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop
a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused
latency.

The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals
with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did
slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue
with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of
time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second
granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock.

For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency
correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either
get no correction, or a 50us correction.

Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying
frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error
have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without
NOHZ.

So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing
the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval
logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop
needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original
granularity error for adjtimex() changes.

Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code
(patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the
current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before.

An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in
the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked
this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible
overflows if the shift value gets too large.

      time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE · da15cfda
      由 john stultz 提交于 
      After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not
fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids
to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't
have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using
something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso
clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you
only get low-res tick grained time resolution.

This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made
the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the
vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications
on a system.

With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity
trade-off for themselves.

      timekeeping: optimized ktime_get[_ts] for GENERIC_TIME=y · 951ed4d3
      由 Martin Schwidefsky 提交于 
      The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial
for GENERIC_TIME=y:

 0)               |  ktime_get() {
 0)               |    ktime_get_ts() {
 0)               |      getnstimeofday() {
 0)               |        read_tod_clock() {
 0)   0.601 us    |        }
 0)   1.938 us    |      }
 0)               |      set_normalized_timespec() {
 0)   0.602 us    |      }
 0)   4.375 us    |    }
 0)   5.523 us    |  }

Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of
unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second
value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second
delta from the clock source.

ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls
clocksource_read:

 0)               |  ktime_get() {
 0)               |    read_tod_clock() {
 0)   0.610 us    |    }
 0)   1.977 us    |  }

It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing
to a nano second value.

ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.

      sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler · dce48a84
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. 

The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.

Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

      time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them · 6c9bacb4
      由 john stultz 提交于 
      Impact: fix time warp bug

Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time
inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that
the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going
negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have
the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in
update_wall_time():

  1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we
     incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec.
     (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it
      to be small).

  2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then
     cycle_interval.

  3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a
     corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier
     being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be
     subtracted from xtime_nsec.

This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow.

Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow()
whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error
accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the
accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after
the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior.

This leaves us with (at least) two options:

1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we
   notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative.

This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed
(due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an
ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may
always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part.

2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its
   negative to both xtime_nsec and the error.

This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding
issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in
the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction
being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of
control is lessened.

      timekeeping: fix rounding problem during clock update · 5cd1c9c5
      由 Roman Zippel 提交于 
      Due to a rounding problem during a clock update it's possible for readers
to observe the clock jumping back by 1nsec.  The following simplified
example demonstrates the problem:

cycle	xtime
0	0
1000	999999.6
2000	1999999.2
3000	2999998.8
...

1500 =	1499999.4
=	0.0 + 1499999.4
=	999999.6 + 499999.8

When reading the clock only the full nanosecond part is used, while
timekeeping internally keeps nanosecond fractions.  If the clock is now
updated at cycle 1500 here, a nanosecond is missing due to the truncation.

The simple fix is to round up the xtime value during the update, this also
changes the distance to the reference time, but the adjustment will
automatically take care that it stays under control.

      clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW · 2d42244a
      由 John Stultz 提交于 
      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.

      x86: tsc prevent time going backwards · d8bb6f4c
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code forever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.

This was reported in:
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
     http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23

I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.

CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.

The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.

The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.

To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.

I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.
