We've got the macro NSEC_PER_USEC defined in header file include/linux/time.h. To make the code decent, this patch replaces the immediate number 1000 to convert bewteen a time value in microseconds and one in nanoseconds with the macro NSEC_PER_USEC. Signed-off-by:

Provide a sysfs interface to allow unbinding of clockevent devices. The device is unbound if it is unused or if there is a replacement device available. Unbinding of broadcast devices is not supported as we don't want to foster that nonsense. If no replacement device is available the unbind returns -EBUSY. Unbind is available from the kernel and through sysfs, which is necessary to drop the module refcount. Signed-off-by:

The unregister call can fail, if the clocksource is the current one and there is no replacement clocksource available. It can also fail, if the clocksource is the watchdog clocksource and I'm not going to provide support for this. Signed-off-by:

Thomas Gleixner authored
With the module refcount held for the current clocksource there is no way to unload the module. Provide a sysfs interface which allows to unbind the clocksource. One could argue that the clocksource override could be (ab)used to do so, but the clocksource override cannot be used from the kernel itself, while an unbind function can be used to programmatically check whether a clocksource can be shutdown or not. The unbind functionality uses the new skip current feature of clocksource_select and verifies that a fallback clocksource has been installed. If the clocksource which should be unbound is the current clocksource and no fallback can be found, unbind returns -EBUSY. This does not support the unbinding of a clocksource which is used as the watchdog clocksource. No point in fostering crappy hardware. Signed-off-by:

If a clocksource has a (wrong) high rating, but can't be used as a timebase for oneshot tick mode, it is unconditionally selected even when the system is already in oneshot tick mode. This causes full system failure. Verify the clocksource selection against the oneshot mode. Signed-off-by:

John Stultz authored
Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config, which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause problems for userland. In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on !ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the /dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for older applications. While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile, breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so lets revert this change. Reported-by:

An inactive timer's base can refer to a offline cpu's base. In the current code, cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period that another thread is trying to modify an inactive timer on that CPU with holding its timer base lock, then the lock will be reinitialized under its feet. This leads to following SPIN_BUG(). <0> BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#3, kworker/u:3/1466 <0> lock: 0xe3ebe000, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: kworker/u:3/1466, .owner_cpu: 1 <4> [<c0013dc4>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x11c) from [<c026e794>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x40/0xcc) <4> [<c026e794>] (do_raw_spin_unlock+0x40/0xcc) from [<c076c160>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) <4> [<c076c160>] (_raw_spin_unlock+0x8/0x30) from [<c009b858>] (mod_timer+0x294/0x310) <4> [<c009b858>] (mod_timer+0x294/0x310) from [<c00a5e04>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x104/0x120) <4> [<c00a5e04>] (queue_delayed_work_on+0x104/0x120) from [<c04eae00>] (sdhci_msm_bus_voting+0x88/0x9c) <4> [<c04eae00>] (sdhci_msm_bus_voting+0x88/0x9c) from [<c04d8780>] (sdhci_disable+0x40/0x48) <4> [<c04d8780>] (sdhci_disable+0x40/0x48) from [<c04bf300>] (mmc_release_host+0x4c/0xb0) <4> [<c04bf300>] (mmc_release_host+0x4c/0xb0) from [<c04c7aac>] (mmc_sd_detect+0x90/0xfc) <4> [<c04c7aac>] (mmc_sd_detect+0x90/0xfc) from [<c04c2504>] (mmc_rescan+0x7c/0x2c4) <4> [<c04c2504>] (mmc_rescan+0x7c/0x2c4) from [<c00a6a7c>] (process_one_work+0x27c/0x484) <4> [<c00a6a7c>] (process_one_work+0x27c/0x484) from [<c00a6e94>] (worker_thread+0x210/0x3b0) <4> [<c00a6e94>] (worker_thread+0x210/0x3b0) from [<c00aad9c>] (kthread+0x80/0x8c) <4> [<c00aad9c>] (kthread+0x80/0x8c) from [<c000ea80>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) As an example, this particular crash occurred when CPU #3 is executing mod_timer() on an inactive timer whose base is refered to offlined CPU #2. The code locked the timer_base corresponding to CPU #2. Before it could proceed, CPU #2 came online and reinitialized the spinlock corresponding to its base. Thus now CPU #3 held a lock which was reinitialized. When CPU #3 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base corresponding to CPU #2, we hit the above SPIN_BUG(). CPU #0 CPU #3 CPU #2 ------ ------- ------- ..... ...... <Offline> mod_timer() lock_timer_base spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock) cpu_up(2) ..... ...... init_timers_cpu() .... ..... spin_lock_init(&base->lock) ..... spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock) ...... <spin_bug> Allocation of per_cpu timer vector bases is done only once under "tvec_base_done[]" check. In the current code, spinlock_initialization of base->lock isn't under this check. When a CPU is up each time the base lock is reinitialized. Move base spinlock initialization under the check.

And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear: cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter(). Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss. And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing infrastructure extensively. So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(), so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and thus get the function ordering right.

commit 5b39939a (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with nohz magic. Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline. Reported-and-tested-by:

Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc). Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of a branch and calculate the target address. This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code. Signed-off-by:

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order of entries in the hardware buffer. It assumes that a branch target address will be read _after_ its corresponding branch. In reality the branch target comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch. This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account. Signed-off-by:

The new Branch History Rolling buffer (BHRB) code is only useful on 64bit processors, so move it into the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 region. This avoids code bloat on 32bit systems. Signed-off-by:
