TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware hypervisor. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

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.

change_clocksource resets the cycle_last value to zero then sets it to a value read from the clocksource. The reset to zero is required only for the TSC clocksource to make the read_tsc function work after a resume. The reason is that the TSC read function uses cycle_last to detect backwards going TSCs. In the resume case cycle_last contains the TSC value from the last update before the suspend. On resume the TSC starts counting from 0 again and would trip over the cycle_last comparison. This is subtle and surprising. Move the reset to a resume function in the tsc code.

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

For freqency dependent TSCs we only scale the cycles, we do not account for the discrepancy in absolute value. Our current formula is: time = cycles * mult (where mult is a function of the cpu-speed on variable tsc machines) Suppose our current cycle count is 10, and we have a multiplier of 5, then our time value would end up being 50. Now cpufreq comes along and changes the multiplier to say 3 or 7, which would result in our time being resp. 30 or 70. That means that we can observe random jumps in the time value due to frequency changes in both fwd and bwd direction. So what this patch does is change the formula to: time = cycles * frequency + offset And we calculate offset so that time_before == time_after, thereby ridding us of these jumps in time.

PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181...

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: Changes timekeeping on Vmware (or with tsc=reliable). This is achieved by resetting the CLOCKSOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag. We add a tsc=reliable commandline option to enable this. This enables legacy hardware without HPET, LAPIC, or ACPI timers to enter high-resolution timer mode. Along with that have extended this to be used in virtualization environement too. Now we also set this flag if the X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE bit is set. This is important since there is a wrap-around problem with the acpi_pm timer. The acpi_pm counter is just 24bits and this can overflow in ~4 seconds. With the NO_HZ kernels in virtualized environment, there can be situations when the guest is descheduled for longer duration, as a result we may miss the wrap of the acpi counter. When TSC is used as a clocksource and acpi_pm timer is being used as the watchdog clocksource this error in acpi_pm results in TSC being marked as unstable, and essentially results in time dropping in chunks of 4 seconds whenever this wrap is missed. Since the virtualized TSC is reliable on VMware, we should always use the TSCs clocksource on VMware, so we skip the verfication at runtime, by checking for the feature bit. Since we reset the flag for mgeode systems too, i have combined the mgeode case with the feature bit check.

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

Introduce a fast TSC-calibration method on sane hardware. It only uses 17920 PIT timer ticks to calibrate the TSC, plus 256 ticks on each side to make sure the TSC values were very close to the tick, so the whole calibration takes 15ms. Yet, despite only takign 15ms, we can actually give pretty stringent guarantees of accuracy: - the code requires that we hit each 256-counter block at least 50 times, so the TSC error is basically at *MOST* just a few PIT cycles off in any direction. In practice, it's going to be about one microseconds off (which is how long it takes to read the counter) - so over 17920 PIT cycles, we can pretty much guarantee that the calibration error is less than one half of a percent. My testing bears this out: on my machine, the quick-calibration reports 2934.085kHz, while the slow one reports 2933.415. Yes, the slower calibration is still more precise. For me, the slow calibration is stable to within about one hundreth of a percent, so it's (at a guess) roughly an order-and-a-half of magnitude more precise. The longer you wait, the more precise you can be. However, the nice thing about the fast TSC PIT synchronization is that it's pretty much _guaranteed_ to give that 0.5% precision, and fail gracefully (and very quickly) if it doesn't get it. And it really is fairly simple (even if there's a lot of _details_ there, and I didn't get all of those right ont he first try or even the second ;) The patch says "110 insertions", but 63 of those new lines are actually comments.

The last changes made the calibration loop 250ms long which is far too much. Try to do that more clever. Experiments have shown that using a 10ms delay for the PIT based calibration gives us a good enough value. If we have a reference (HPET/PMTIMER) and the result of the PIT and the reference is close enough, then we can break out of the calibration loop on a match right away and use the reference value. Otherwise we just loop 3 times and decide then, which value to take. One caveat is that for virtualized environments the PIT calibration often does not work at all and I found out that 10us is a bit too short as well for the reference to give a sane result. The solution here is to make the last loop longer when the first two PIT calibrations failed. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

This is often because native_calibrate_tsc lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of tsc_read_refs is wrong. tsc_read_refs is called from native_calibrate_tsc which is not __init and native_calibrate_tsc cannot be marked __init Signed-off-by: NMarcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: H.

Dave Hansen reported a build error on 32bit which went unnoticed as newer gcc versions seem to optimize unused static functions away before compiling them. Make vread_tsc() depend on CONFIG_X86_64 Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Integration generated a duplicate call to use_tsc_delay. Particularly, the one that is done before we check for general tsc usability seems wrong. Signed-off-by: NGlauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is for consistency with i386. We call use_tsc_delay() at tsc initialization for x86_64, so we'll be always using it. Signed-off-by: NGlauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
