      tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot · 07f4beb0
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
      also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
      serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
      C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
      depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
      and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
      
      The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
      only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
      the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
      device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
      first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
      
      In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
      a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
      timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
      bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
      cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
      Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
      wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
      that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
      seconds timeframe.
      
      The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
      unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
      cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
      otherwise it would not be executing that code.
      
      [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
        folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
        switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
        state? ]

      clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic · 3a142a06
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
      can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
      supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
      broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
      unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
      oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
      around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.
      
      Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

      clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lock · f833bab8
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
      some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
      
      This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
      
      cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
      cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
      cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
      
      This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
      for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
      reaching the rendezvous point.
      
      Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
      interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
      
      Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
      that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
      chain.
      
      This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
      logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
      a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
      which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

      NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter() · fb02fbc1
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
      reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.
      
      But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
      stale:
      
      idle()
        tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
        halt()
         interrupt
           jiffies updated from irq_enter()
           interrupt handler
           softirq function 1 runs 20ms
           softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
           jiffies updated from irq_exit()
           timer wheel has now an already expired timer
           (the one added in function 2)
           timer fires and timer softirq runs
      
      This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
      when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
      softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.
      
      To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
      not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
      idle when need_resched() is set.

      Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines.
      
      The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to
      determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong
      when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen
      when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup
      first.
      
      The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code
      before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens.
      The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts
      down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens.

      clockevents: make device shutdown robust · 2344abbc
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The device shut down does not cleanup the next_event variable of the
      clock event device. So when the device is reactivated the possible
      stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it
      claims to wait on a event already.
      
      This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem,
      where systems need key press to come back to life.
      
      Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut
      down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that
      and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we
      can not touch the next_event value.

      clockevents: prevent endless loop lockup · 1fb9b7d2
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a
      too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event.
      
      The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event
      device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just
      added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device.
      When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever.
      
      Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning
      and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.
      Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code.

      x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle function · aa276e1c
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to
      now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops
      when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high
      resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based
      laptops.
      
      The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw
      as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module
      is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.
      
      To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle
      function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the
      Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting
      for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.

      I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes -
      I'm nervous about this causing include loops.
      
      However, there's a separate point to be discussed here.
      
      That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel.
      If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then
      that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h
      rather than linux/irq.h.
      
      So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a
      couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity()
      to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h
      and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be
      rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context
      registers.)
      
      Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform
      kernels which both use genirq.

       http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299
       http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525
      
      A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast
      device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in
      tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same.
      
      When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs
      which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event,
      which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast
      device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all
      CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up.
      
      The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on
      other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of
      those events can be delayed for quite a time.
      
      Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs,
      which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event,
      and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

      the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into

      clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko · b7e113dc
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews
      VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot
      timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
      but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
      cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
      code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
      go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct
      solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across
      the suspend/resume.
      
      Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer
      arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time.
      The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can
      never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set,
      when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.
