      HPET: make minimum reprogramming delta useful · 7cfb0435
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks,
which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs.
The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets,
where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be
a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters
machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events,
which increases the delta when it is not sufficient.

      clockevents: prevent endless loop lockup · 1fb9b7d2
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      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.

      clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdown · 9c17bcda
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events
code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized
and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but
useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another
CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and
the second init could just render it unusable again.

      clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setup · 7205656a
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event,
but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the
device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts
working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event()
and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot().
Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

      clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handler · d4496b39
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken,
when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code
stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field
only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in
question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value
and therefor never increases.

      clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop · 7c1e7689
      Venkatesh Pallipadi authored 
      There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.

The problematic path seems to be

* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
  * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
    * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
  * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
    * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.

Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.

This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.
