      cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUs · 6a61671b
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a
      full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields
      of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those
      of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and
      we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot.
      
      To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on
      kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context
      where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current
      time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times()
      accessors.

      This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While

      cputime: Allow dynamic switch between tick/virtual based cputime accounting · 3f4724ea
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based
      cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand"
      virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies
      on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel
      boundaries.
      
      This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in
      more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on
      CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account
      the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries.
      
      Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between
      tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the
      overhead associated to user hooks.

      cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting · abf917cd
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
      able to account the cputime without using the tick.
      
      Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
      hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
      
      However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
      low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
      have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
      for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
      outside idle.
      
      This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
      accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
      
      There are some upsides of doing this:
      
      - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
      if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
      tickless mode).
      
      - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
      (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
      and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
      of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
      
      And one downside:
      
      - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
      accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

      cputime: Move default nsecs_to_cputime() to jiffies based cputime file · ae8dda5c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If the architecture doesn't provide an implementation of
      nsecs_to_cputime(), the cputime accounting core uses a
      default one that converts the nanoseconds to jiffies. However
      this only makes sense if we use the jiffies based cputime.
      
      For now it doesn't matter much because this API is only
      called on code that uses jiffies based cputime accounting.
      
      But the code may evolve and this API may be used more
      broadly in the future. Keeping this default implementation
      around is very error prone as it may introduce a bug and
      hide it on architectures that don't override this API.
      
      Fix this by moving this definition to the jiffies based
      cputime headers as it is the only place where it belongs to.

      cputime: Librarize per nsecs resolution cputime definitions · 39613766
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The full dynticks cputime accounting that we'll soon introduce
      will rely on sched_clock(). And its clock can have a per
      nanosecond granularity.
      
      To prepare for this, we need to have a cputime_t implementation
      that has this precision.
      
      ia64 virtual cputime accounting already uses that granularity
      so all we need is to librarize its implementation in the asm
      generic headers.
      
      Also librarize the default per jiffy granularity cputime_t
      as well so that we can easily pick either implementation
      depending on the cputime accounting config we choose.

      ALSA: hda/hdmi - Work around "alsactl restore" errors · 6f54c361
      Takashi Iwai 提交于
      When "alsactl restore" is performed on HDMI codecs, it tries to
      restore the channel map value since the channel map controls are
      writable.  But hdmi_chmap_ctl_put() returns -EBADFD when no PCM stream
      is assigned yet, and this results in an error message from alsactl.
      Although the error is harmless, it's certainly ugly and can be
      regarded as a regression.
      
      As a workaround, this patch changes the return code in such a case to
      be zero for making others happy.  (A slight excuse is: when the chmap
      is changed through the proper alsa-lib API, the PCM status is checked
      there anyway, so we don't have to be too strict in the kernel side.)

      cpuidle: remove the power_specified field in the driver · 8aef33a7
      Daniel Lezcano 提交于
      We realized that the power usage field is never filled and when it
      is filled for tegra, the power_specified flag is not set causing all
      of these values to be reset when the driver is initialized with
      set_power_state().
      
      However, the power_specified flag can be simply removed under the
      assumption that the states are always backward sorted, which is the
      case with the current code.
      
      This change allows the menu governor select function and the
      cpuidle_play_dead() to be simplified.  Moreover, the
      set_power_states() function can removed as it does not make sense
      any more.
      
      Drop the power_specified flag from struct cpuidle_driver and make
      the related changes as described above.
      
      As a consequence, this also fixes the bug where on the dynamic
      C-states system, the power fields are not initialized.

      Pull tracing regression fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled

         1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
            when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled.  The
            tracing_on file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable
            tracers if they request it (call the tracer's start() method).
      
         2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
            separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
            option of git commit.  But as the change is still related to the
            commit it wasn't noticed in review.  That change, changed the way
            blocking is done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the
            tracing_on settings.  I've been told that this change breaks
            current userspace, and this specific change is being reverted."
