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.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz(). Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The below scenario describes the race condition, x==0 Boot CPU other CPU proc_P: x==0 timer interrupt update_vsyscall x==1 x++;sync settimeofday update_vsyscall_tz x==2 x++;sync x==3 sync;x++ sync;x++ proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even) Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not atomic on powerpc.

System time accounting APIs such as vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() need to be irqsafe. Current callers include irq entry, exit and kvm, all of which have been checked against that requirement. Now it's better to grow that with an automatic check in case we have further callers or we missed something.

On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few arch housekeeping.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt(). This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one is left pending on exit from a KVM guest. When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the next task to account its cputime. These archs all put their own hooks in their context switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves. Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime() callback called in generic code right after a context switch and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.

This reverts 68568add ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest. This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer. It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not correct because the mechanism are not consistent. In our setup it adds 2% jitter. With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some issues that this tries to address. We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell interrupts. The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external "edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor. Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal. This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up. The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a "irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt occurred while soft-disabled. When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that field. We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the arch_local_irq_enable case). This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create fake interrupts, among others. In addition, this adds a few refinements: - We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max (on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from performance monitor interrupts. - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve perf sample quality. - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops) - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

When re-enabling interrupts we have code to handle edge sensitive decrementers by resetting the decrementer to 1 whenever it is negative. If interrupts were disabled long enough that the decrementer wrapped to positive we do nothing. This means interrupts can be delayed for a long time until it finally goes negative again. While we hope interrupts are never be disabled long enough for the decrementer to go positive, we have a very good test team that can drive any kernel into the ground.

commit cf9efce0 (powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURR) used in_irq() to detect if the time was spent in interrupt processing. This only catches hardirq context so if we are in softirq context and in the idle loop we end up accounting it as idle time. If we instead use in_interrupt() we catch both softirq and hardirq time. The issue was found when running a network intensive workload. top showed the following: 0.0%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 85.7%id, 0.0%wa, 9.9%hi, 3.3%si, 0.0%st 85.7% idle. But this was wildly different to the perf events data. To confirm the suspicion I ran something to keep the core busy: # yes > /dev/null & 8.2%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 10.3%hi, 81.4%si, 0.0%st We only got 8.2% of the CPU for the userspace task and softirq has shot up to 81.4%. With the patch below top shows the correct stats: 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 5.3%id, 0.0%wa, 13.3%hi, 81.3%si, 0.0%st Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

Since the cpu accounting code uses the hypervisor dispatch trace log now when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the previous commit disabled access to it via files in the /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/ directory in that case. This restores those files. To do this, we now have a hook that the cpu accounting code will call as it processes each entry from the hypervisor dispatch trace log. The code in dtl.c now uses that to fill up its ring buffer, rather than having the hypervisor fill the ring buffer directly. This also fixes dtl_file_read() to handle overflow conditions a bit better and adds a spinlock to ensure that race conditions (multiple processes opening or reading the file concurrently) are handled correctly.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and softirq times. This turns out to be quite confusing for users because it means that a program will often be measured as taking less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode) than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly when there are no other partitions running. This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread, regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will generally show greater user and system times when run on a multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor. On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode, we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from user mode. On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR rather than the SPURR. This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log by the time accounting code.

Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call. Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it is time for the next decrementer clock event. The result is that the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next decrementer clock event is due. This was pointed out by Milton Miller. This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending. This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it used to skip. However, these machines are now old and rare enough that this doesn't matter. To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused. This deletes them. In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume. Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for 52xx platforms have been removed. The call in the powermac cpu frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct value. This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c. The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO. The VDSO gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds, using the algorithm now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds. The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick. With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards by 1 microsecond. To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format. (Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.) This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds. Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing __do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000 for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec function is then unused and is deleted. The new algorithm is now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs + (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with seconds = now >> 32 partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32 The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least 4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most 2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors, so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this. This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to xtime, but that could change in future. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
