      time: Revert ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK compile time optimizaitons · b4f711ee
      John Stultz 提交于
      Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
      which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
      uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
      problems for userland.
      
      In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
      !ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
      twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
      of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
      zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
      /dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
      older applications.
      
      While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
      breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
      the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
      being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
      lets revert this change.

      sched: Keep at least 1 tick per second for active dynticks tasks · 265f22a9
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments
      with a single task running without a periodic tick.
      
      In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(),
      keep at least 1 tick per second.
      
      This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler
      accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity.
      Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime,
      avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details
      handled in sched_class::task_tick().
      
      This limitation will be removed in the future once we get
      these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

      rcu: Fix full dynticks' dependency on wide RCU nocb mode · 73c30828
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Commit 0637e029
      ("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended
      to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is
      enabled.
      
      However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's
      "select" instruction has no effect on such targets.
      
      Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we
      don't want instead.

      nohz: Select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN from full dynticks config · c58b0df1
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
      to an active one.
      
      The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
      cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
      the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
      to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.
      
      We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
      this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
      Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
      a "choice".
      
      So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
      with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
      accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
      when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
      for each cputime accounting choices.
      
      v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
      full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

      nohz: Reduce overhead under high-freq idling patterns · 47aa8b6c
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
      which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
      high frequency.
      
      In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
      context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
      delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
      TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.
      
      Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
      wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

      clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdown · 6f7a05d7
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the
      system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer
      gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot
      cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which
      fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler
      is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due
      to highres mode not being active.
      
      See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333
      
      There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET
      code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event
      handler == NULL for a similar reason.
      
      We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the
      previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in
      tick_setup_new_device().
      
      The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(),
      but that got removed by commit 7c1e7689 (clockevents: prevent
      clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix
      it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

      It makes testing and implementation much easier as we
      know in advance that all CPUs are RCU nocbs.
      
      Also this prepares to remove the dynamic check for
      nohz_full= boot mask to be a subset of rcu_nocbs=
      
      Eventually this should also help removing the requirement
      for the boot CPU to be outside the full dynticks range.

      nohz: Re-evaluate the tick from the scheduler IPI · ff442c51
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
      full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
      task are running or when a new timer list timer is
      enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
      to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
      
      Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.
      
      (Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing
      a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)

      nohz: New option to default all CPUs in full dynticks range · f98823ac
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Provide a new kernel config that defaults all CPUs to be part
      of the full dynticks range, except the boot one for timekeeping.
      
      This default setting is overriden by the nohz_full= boot option
      if passed by the user.
      
      This is helpful for those who don't need a finegrained range
      of full dynticks CPU and also for automated testing.

      nohz: Ensure full dynticks CPUs are RCU nocbs · d1e43fa5
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
      that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU
      callbacks.
      
      Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
      parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=
      
      The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
      excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
      early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
      to stop its tick.

      nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks range · 0453b435
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
      because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
      components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
      as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.
      
      Given that it happens before we know the initial online
      set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
      one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.
      
      To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
      outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
      on kernel parameter parsing time.
      
      We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
      architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
      low power CPUs.
      
      But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

      nohz: New APIs to re-evaluate the tick on full dynticks CPUs · 76c24fb0
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Provide two new helpers in order to notify the full dynticks CPUs about
      some internal system changes against which they may reconsider the state
      of their tick. Some practical examples include: posix cpu timers, perf tick
      and sched clock tick.
      
      For now the notifying handler, implemented through IPIs, is a stub
      that will be implemented when we get the tick stop/restart infrastructure
      in.

      nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming · c5bfece2
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      "Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
      API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
      to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
      
      But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
      "full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
      config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
      constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
      as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
      issues that may be solved in the future.

      nohz: Fix old dynticks idle Kconfig backward compatibility · 0644ca5c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In order to enforce backward compatibility with older
      config files, we want the new dynticks-idle Kconfig entry
      to default its value to the one of the old CONFIG_NO_HZ symbol
      if present.
      
      Namely we want:
      
      	config NO_HZ # old obsolete dynticks idle symbol
      		bool
      
      	config NO_HZ_IDLE # new dynticks idle symbol
      		default NO_HZ
      
      However Kconfig prevents this to work if the old symbol
      is not visible. And this is currently the case because
      NO_HZ lacks a title in order to show it in make oldconfig
      and alike.
      
      To fix this, bring a minimal title and help text to the
      obsolete Kconfig entry that explains its purpose. This
      makes the "defaulting" to work.
