      Delete filenames in comments. · 835c34a1
      Dave Jones 提交于
      Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
      are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
      them, as they add no real value.
      
      Additionally:
      - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
      - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
      - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from

      drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals · 1855256c
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Three main sets of changes:
      
      1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
         since callers should not be changing that data.
      
      2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
         whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
         that data area.
      
      3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
         in low-level drivers.
      
      And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
      optimizations on the part of the compiler.
      
      The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
      have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
      it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

      sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event() · 2aa44d05
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
      using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
      idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
      TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.
      
      ( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
        printk-timestamps as well. )
      
      Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
      callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
      the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
      task statistics.

      Add a sched_clock paravirt_op · 688340ea
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for
      Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds.
      
      This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which
      matches both Xen and VMI's requirements.
      
      In order to do this, we:
         1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock
         2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header
         3. update vmi accordingly
      
      One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak
      function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to
      override this weak binding.  This means the usual paravirt_ops
      technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

      [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426) · 6bb74df4
      john stultz 提交于
      This patch resolves the issue found here:
      http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
      
      The basic summary is:
      Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
      time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
      causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
      calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
      where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
      jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
      the small sampling time used.
      
      It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
      function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
      resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
      discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
      time.
      
      Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
      the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
      selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
      
      This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
      clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
      timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
      boxes.

      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we
      need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code.  This
      value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with
      real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can
      make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

      [PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fix · 6cb9a835
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      The custom_sched_clock hook is broken.  The result from sched_clock needs to
      be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles.  The TSC is insufficient for this
      purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
      represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
      interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).
      
      To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
      that is scheduled time.  So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
      into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along.  This allows the tsc.c
      code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
      backends.
      
      It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
      abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
      implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
      ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
      got in the wrong units.

      [PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686 · f9690982
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
      back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
      the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.
      
      This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
      hardware.  (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
      sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
      of jitter.)
      
      Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
      desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
      this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed.  This makes
      the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
      flag.

      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      VMI timer code.  It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
      configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code.  The backend
      timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
      some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
      when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
      hypervisors as well.  So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

      [PATCH] i386 Time: Avoid PIT SMP lockups · 3f4a0b91
      john stultz 提交于
      Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
      Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.
      
      However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
      the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
      Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again.  So this
      changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.
      
      Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:
      
      tsc		[if present & stable]
      hpet		[if present]
      cyclone		[if present]
      acpi_pm		[if present]
      pit		[if UP]
      jiffies
      
      Rather then the current more complicated:
      tsc		[if present & stable]
      hpet		[if present]
      cyclone		[if present]
      acpi_pm		[if present]
