Daniel Lezcano reported seeing multi-second stalls from keyboard input on his T61 laptop when NOHZ and CPU_IDLE were enabled on a 32bit kernel. He bisected the problem down to commit 1e75fa8b ("time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec"). After reproducing this issue, I narrowed the problem down to the fact that timekeeping_get_ns() returns a 64bit nsec value that hasn't been accumulated. In some cases this value was being then stored in timespec.tv_nsec (which is a long). On 32bit systems, with idle times larger then 4 seconds (or less, depending on the value of xtime_nsec), the returned nsec value would overflow 32bits. This limited kept time from increasing, causing timers to not expire. The fix is to make sure we don't directly store the result of timekeeping_get_ns() into a tv_nsec field, instead using a 64bit nsec value which can then be added into the timespec via timespec_add_ns().

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the year 2262). Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are injected via adjtimex. So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t. Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

For performance reasons, we maintain ktime_t based duplicates of wall_to_monotonic (offs_real) and total_sleep_time (offs_boot). Since large problems could occur (such as the resume regression on 3.5-rc7, or the leapsecond hrtimer issue) if these value pairs were to be inconsistently updated, this patch this cleans up how we modify these value pairs to ensure we are always consistent. As a side-effect this is also more efficient as we only caulculate the duplicate values when they are changed, rather then every update_wall_time call. This also provides WARN_ONs to detect if future changes break the invariants.

The timespec tv_nsec value must be shifted before set or added to the internal value. tv_nsec is a long, which is 32bit on a 32bit system, so without casting tv_nsec to u64 we lose the bits which are shifted over the 32bit boundary.

The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data. On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer interrupt sees stale values.

As part of cleaning up the timekeeping code, this patch converts a number of internal functions to takei a timekeeper ptr as an argument, so that the internal functions don't access the global timekeeper structure directly. This allows for further optimizations to reduce lock hold time later.

The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full nsec portion out and back in over and over. This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion (stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds). This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event.

Since commit 7dffa3c6 the ntp subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock. Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern: CPU 0 CPU 1 do_adjtimex() spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock); process_adjtimex_modes(); timer_interrupt() process_adj_status(); do_timer() ntp_start_leap_timer(); write_lock(&xtime_lock); hrtimer_start(); update_wall_time(); hrtimer_reprogram(); ntp_tick_length() tick_program_event() spin_lock(&ntp_lock); clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond processing in the second_overflow() function. The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary, (ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ) after the leap second instead of possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic). This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed. However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be changed without possibly breaking existing users. This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME). For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate. The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.

For readers, we don't need to take xtime_lock anymore.
