      nohz: Avoid tick's double reprogramming in highres mode · 2a16fc93
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the
      next jiffies.
      
      However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is
      in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode
      because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some
      randomly deferred future.
      
      So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode.
      This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable
      scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other
      hrtimer is pending.

      nohz: Fix spurious periodic tick behaviour in low-res dynticks mode · b5e995e6
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      When we reach the end of the tick handler, we unconditionally reschedule
      the next tick to the next jiffy. Then on irq exit, the nohz code
      overrides that setting if needed and defers the next tick as far away in
      the future as possible.
      
      Now in the best dynticks case, when we actually don't need any tick in
      the future (ie: expires == KTIME_MAX), low-res and high-res behave
      differently. What we want in this case is to cancel the next tick
      programmed by the previous one. That's what we do in high-res mode. OTOH
      we lack a low-res mode equivalent of hrtimer_cancel() so we simply don't
      do anything in this case and the next tick remains scheduled to jiffies + 1.
      
      As a result, in low-res mode, when the dynticks code determines that no
      tick is needed in the future, we can recursively get a spurious tick
      every jiffy because then the next tick is always reprogrammed from the
      tick handler and is never cancelled. And this can happen indefinetly
      until some subsystem actually needs a precise tick in the future and only
      then we eventually overwrite the previous tick handler setting to defer
      the next tick.
      
      We are fixing this by introducing the ONESHOT_STOPPED mode which will
      let us pause a clockevent when no further interrupt is needed. Meanwhile
      we can't expect all drivers to support this new mode.
      
      So lets reduce much of the symptoms by skipping the nohz-blind tick
      rescheduling from the tick-handler when the CPU is in dynticks mode.
      That tick rescheduling wrongly assumed periodicity and the low-res
      dynticks code can't cancel such decision. This breaks the recursive (and
      thus the worst) part of the problem. In the worst case now, we'll get
      only one extra tick due to uncancelled tick scheduled before we entered
      dynticks mode.
      
      This also removes a needless clockevent write on idle ticks. Since those
      clock write are usually considered to be slow, it's a general win.

      timer: Fix lock inversion between hrtimer_bases.lock and scheduler locks · 504d5874
      Jan Kara 提交于
      clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
      hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
      printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:
