      x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation, cleanup · f3f3149f
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      As suggested by Ingo, remove all references to tsc from init/calibrate.c
      
      TSC is x86 specific, and using tsc in variable names in a generic file should
      be avoided. lpj_tsc is now called lpj_fine, since it is related to fine tuning
      of lpj value. Also tsc_rate_*  is called timer_rate_*

      x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation · 3da757da
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
      calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
      to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
      result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
      a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
      result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
      resulting in the guest panicking.
      
      Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
      printk to print the bogomips value.
      
      We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
      different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
      frequency.

      x86: on x86_64, correct reading of PC RTC when update in progress in time_64.c · bbbd9995
      David P. Reed 提交于
      Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c
      
      Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC
      timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus
      while updates are in progress.  The use of UIP flag while interrupts
      are disabled to protect a 244 microsecond window is one of the
      Motorola spec sheet's documented ways to read the RTC time registers
      reliably.
      
      tglx: removed locking changes from original patch, as they gain nothing
      (read_persistent_clock is only called during boot, suspend, resume - so
      no hot path affected) and conflict with the paravirt locking scheme
      (see 32bit code), which we do not want to complicate for no benefit.

      x86: fix freeze in x86_64 RTC update code in time_64.c · c399da0d
      David P. Reed 提交于
      Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls 
      update_persistent_clock()
      
      A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
      and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
      HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop.  This freeze is due to the use of
      spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
      set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled.  The call from
      ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

      Delete filenames in comments. · 835c34a1
      Dave Jones 提交于
      Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
      are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
      them, as they add no real value.
      
      Additionally:
      - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
      - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
      - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
        git.

      [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426) · 6bb74df4
      john stultz 提交于
      This patch resolves the issue found here:
      http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
      
      The basic summary is:
      Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
      time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
      causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
      calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
      where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
      jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
      the small sampling time used.
      
      It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
      function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
      resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
      discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
      time.
      
      Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
      the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
      selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
      
      This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
      clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
      timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
      boxes.
