Adjust value 0x80000000 and other values larger than that render the TSC deadline timer disfunctional. We have not yet any information about this from Intel, but experimentation clearly proves that this is a 32/64 bit and sign extension issue. If adjust values larger than that are actually required, which might be the case for physical CPU hotplug, then we need to disable the deadline timer on the affected package/CPUs and use the local APIC timer instead. That requires some surgery in the APIC setup code, so we just limit the ADJUST register value into the known to work range for now and revisit this when Intel comes forth with proper information.

Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails. Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine just stops booting. Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer. This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer. While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed. Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis. Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT! To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures: - If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0 - If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0 - Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative TSC_ADJUST values.

0-day testing encountered a NULL pointer dereference in a cpumask access from tsc_store_and_check_tsc_adjust(). This happens when the function is called on the boot CPU and the topology masks are not yet available due to CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. Add a NULL pointer check for the mask pointer. If NULL it's safe to assume that the CPU is the boot CPU and the first one in the package.

If the first CPU of a package comes online, it is necessary to test whether the TSC is in sync with a CPU on some other package. When a deviation is observed (time going backwards between the two CPUs) the TSC is marked unstable, which is a problem on large machines as they have to fall back to the HPET clocksource, which is insanely slow. It has been attempted to compensate the TSC by adding the offset to the TSC and writing it back some time ago, but this never was merged because it did not turn out to be stable, especially not on older systems. Modern systems have become more stable in that regard and the TSC_ADJUST MSR allows us to compensate for the time deviation in a sane way. If it's available allow up to three synchronization runs and if a time warp is detected the starting CPU can compensate the time warp via the TSC_ADJUST MSR and retry. If the third run still shows a deviation or when random time warps are detected the test terminally fails.

If the TSC_ADJUST MSR is available all CPUs in a package are forced to the same value. So TSCs cannot be out of sync when the first CPU in the package was in sync.

When entering idle, it's a good oportunity to verify that the TSC_ADJUST MSR has not been tampered with (BIOS hiding SMM cycles). If tampering is detected, emit a warning and restore it to the previous value. This is especially important for machines, which mark the TSC reliable because there is no watchdog clocksource available (SoCs). This is not sufficient for HPC (NOHZ_FULL) situations where a CPU never goes idle, but adding a timer to do the check periodically is not an option either. On a machine, which has this issue, the check triggeres right during boot, so there is a decent chance that the sysadmin will notice. Rate limit the check to once per second and warn only once per cpu.

The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful in a two aspects: 1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and acted upon. 2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization check fails. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU in a package. In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs which got powered earlier. A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages, but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later. The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

TSC on Intel Atom SoCs capable of determining TSC frequency by MSR is reliable and the frequency is known (provided by HW). On these platforms PIT/HPET is generally not available so calibration won't work at all and there is no other clocksource to act as a watchdog for the TSC, so we have no other choice than to trust it. Set both X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flags to make sure the calibration is skipped and no watchdog is required.

On Intel GOLDMONT Atom SoC TSC is the only available clocksource, so there is no way to do software calibration or have a watchdog clocksource for it. Software calibration is already disabled via the TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag, but the watchdog requirement still persists, so such systems cannot switch to high resolution/nohz mode. Mark it reliable, so it becomes usable. Hardware teams confirmed that this is safe on that SoC.

CPUs/SoCs with CPUID leaf 0x15 come with a known frequency and will report the frequency to software via CPUID instruction. This hardware provided frequency is the "real" frequency of TSC. Set the X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag for such systems to skip the software calibration process. A 24 hours test on one of the CPUID 0x15 capable platforms was conducted. PIT calibrated frequency resulted in more than 3 seconds drift whereas the CPUID determined frequency showed less than 0.5 second drift.

The X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flag in Linux kernel implies both reliable (at runtime) and trustable (at calibration). But reliable running and trustable calibration independent of each other. Add a new flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ, which denotes that the frequency is known (via MSR/CPUID). This flag is only meant to skip the long term calibration on systems which have a known frequency. Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ to the skip the delayed calibration and leave X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE in place. After converting the existing users of X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE to use either both flags or just X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ we can seperate the functionality.

As found by gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized, having a storage_bytes value other than 2 or 4 will result in undefined behavior: drivers/iio/temperature/maxim_thermocouple.c: In function 'maxim_thermocouple_read': drivers/iio/temperature/maxim_thermocouple.c:141:5: error: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This probably cannot happen, but returning -EINVAL here is appropriate and makes gcc happy and the code more robust.

aoeblk contains some mysterious code, that wants to elevate the bio vec page counts while it's under IO. That is not needed, it's fragile, and it's causing kernel oopses for some.

The ns->lba_shift assumes its value to be the logarithmic of the LA size. A previous patch duplicated the lba_shift calculation into lightnvm. It prematurely also subtracted a 512byte shift, which commonly is applied per-command. The 512byte shift being subtracted twice led to data loss when restoring the logical to physical mapping table from device and when issuing I/O commands using rrpc. Fix offset by removing the 512byte shift subtraction when calculating lba_shift.

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These fix two bugs in error code paths in the PM core (system-wide suspend of devices), a device reference leak in the boot-time suspend test code and a cpupower utility regression from the 4.7 cycle. Specifics: - Prevent the PM core from attempting to suspend parent devices if any of their children, whose suspend callbacks were invoked asynchronously, have failed to suspend during the "late" and "noirq" phases of system-wide suspend of devices (Brian Norris). - Prevent the boot-time system suspend test code from leaking a reference to the RTC device used by it (Johan Hovold). - Fix cpupower to use the return value of one of its library functions correctly and restore the correct behavior of it when used for setting cpufreq tunables broken during the 4.7 development cycle (Laura Abbott)" * tag 'pm-4.9-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: PM / sleep: don't suspend parent when async child suspend_{noirq, late} fails PM / sleep: fix device reference leak in test_suspend cpupower: Correct return type of cpu_power_is_cpu_online() in cpufreq-set
