timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the current one. Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be shown correctly in sysfs.

If a clocksource has a (wrong) high rating, but can't be used as a timebase for oneshot tick mode, it is unconditionally selected even when the system is already in oneshot tick mode. This causes full system failure. Verify the clocksource selection against the oneshot mode.

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.

commit 5b39939a (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with nohz magic. Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data and dereferences a NULL pointer. Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

commit b352bc1c (tick: Convert broadcast cpu bitmaps to cpumask_var_t) broke CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK in a very subtle way. Instead of allocating the cpumasks with zalloc_cpumask_var it uses alloc_cpumask_var, so we can get random data there, which of course confuses the logic completely and causes random failures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered. If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode on all CPUs one more time.

When running with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/timer_list will fail with an ENOMEM condition. On a sufficantly large systems the total amount of data is more then 4mb, so it won't fit into a single buffer. The failure can also occur on smaller systems when memory fragmentation is high as reported by Dave Jones. Convert /proc/timer_list to a proper seq_file with its own iterator. This is a little more complex given that we have to make two passes with two separate headers. sysrq_timer_list_show also needed to be updated to reflect the fact that now timer_list_show only does one cpu at at time.

Remove the "single task" statement from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL title. The constraint can be invalidated when tasks from other sched classes than SCHED_FAIR are running.

"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.

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.

Shorten the seqcount write hold region to the actual update of the timekeeper and the related data (e.g vsyscall). On a contemporary x86 system this reduces the maximum latencies on Preempt-RT from 8us to 4us on the non-timekeeping cores.

Use the shadow timekeeper to do the update_wall_time() adjustments and then copy it over to the real timekeeper. Keep the shadow timekeeper in sync when updating stuff outside of update_wall_time().
