If a device is shutdown, then there might be a pending interrupt, which will be processed after we reenable interrupts, which causes the original handler to be run. If the old handler is the (broadcast) periodic handler the shutdown state might hang the kernel completely. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The current code checks if abs(delta_delta.tv_sec) is greater or equal to two before it discards the old delta value, but this can trigger at close to -1 seconds since -1.000000001 seconds is stored as tv_sec -2 and tv_nsec 999999999 in a normalized timespec. rtc_resume had an early return check if the rtc value had not changed since rtc_suspend. This effectivly stops time for the duration of the short sleep. Check if sleep_time is positive after all the adjustments have been applied instead since this allows the old_system adjustment in rtc_suspend to have an effect even for short sleep cycles.

Currently, the RTC code does not disable the alarm in the hardware. This means that after a sequence such as the one below (the files are in the RTC sysfs), the box will boot up after 2 minutes even though we've asked for the alarm to be turned off. # echo $((`cat since_epoch`)+120) > wakealarm # echo 0 > wakealarm # poweroff Fix this by disabling the alarm when there are no timers to run.

__remove_hrtimer() attempts to reprogram the clockevent device when the timer being removed is the next to expire. However, __remove_hrtimer() reprograms the clockevent *before* removing the timer from the timerqueue and thus when hrtimer_force_reprogram() finds the next timer to expire it finds the timer we're trying to remove. This is especially noticeable when the system switches to NOHz mode and the system tick is removed. The timer tick is removed from the system but the clockevent is programmed to wakeup in another HZ anyway. Silence the extra wakeup by removing the timer from the timerqueue before calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() so that we actually program the clockevent for the next timer to expire. This was broken by 998adc3d "hrtimers: Convert hrtimers to use timerlist infrastructure".

ktime_get and ktime_get_ts were calling timekeeping_get_ns() but later they were not calling arch_gettimeoffset() so architectures using this mechanism returned 0 ns when calling these functions. This happened for example when running Busybox's ping which calls syscall(__NR_clock_gettime, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts) which eventually calls ktime_get. As a result the returned ping travel time was zero. CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Hector Palacios <hector.palacios@digi.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> CC: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> CC: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> Reported-by: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Tested-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

After getting a number of questions in private emails about the math around admittedly very complex timekeeping_adjust() and timekeeping_big_adjust(), I figure the code needs some better comments. Hopefully the explanations are clear enough and don't muddy the water any worse. Still needs documentation for ntp_error, but I couldn't recall exactly the full explanation behind the code that's there (although I do recall once working it out when Roman first proposed it). Given a bit more time I can probably work it out, but I don't want to hold back this documentation until then.

KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes unstable. We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through a full update cycle.

David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries). For example: [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404) thread: before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739) self: before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698) [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'. I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements are the outer-most ones. --- #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <pthread.h> static pthread_barrier_t barrier; static void *chew_cpu(void *arg) { pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); while (1) __asm__ __volatile__("" : : : "memory"); return NULL; } int main(void) { clockid_t process_clock, my_thread_clock, th_clock; struct timespec process_before, process_after; struct timespec me_before, me_after; struct timespec th_before, th_after; struct timespec sleeptime; unsigned long diff; pthread_t th; int err; err = clock_getcpuclockid(0, &process_clock); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_self(), &my_thread_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_init(&barrier, NULL, 2); err = pthread_create(&th, NULL, chew_cpu, NULL); if (err) return 1; err = pthread_getcpuclockid(th, &th_clock); if (err) return 1; pthread_barrier_wait(&barrier); err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_before); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_before); if (err) return 1; sleeptime.tv_sec = 0; sleeptime.tv_nsec = 500000000; nanosleep(&sleeptime, NULL); err = clock_gettime(th_clock, &th_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(my_thread_clock, &me_after); if (err) return 1; err = clock_gettime(process_clock, &process_after); if (err) return 1; diff = process_after.tv_nsec - process_before.tv_nsec; printf("process: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", process_before.tv_sec, process_before.tv_nsec, process_after.tv_sec, process_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = th_after.tv_nsec - th_before.tv_nsec; printf("thread: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", th_before.tv_sec, th_before.tv_nsec, th_after.tv_sec, th_after.tv_nsec, diff); diff = me_after.tv_nsec - me_before.tv_nsec; printf("self: before(%lu.%.9lu) after(%lu.%.9lu) diff(%lu)\n", me_before.tv_sec, me_before.tv_nsec, me_after.tv_sec, me_after.tv_nsec, diff); return 0; } This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime().

There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly. A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an attribute of the clockevents device. In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

show_stat handler of the /proc/stat file relies on kstat_cpu(cpu) statistics when priting information about idle and iowait times. This is OK if we are not using tickless kernel (CONFIG_NO_HZ) because counters are updated periodically. With NO_HZ things got more tricky because we are not doing idle/iowait accounting while we are tickless so the value might get outdated. Users of /proc/stat will notice that by unchanged idle/iowait values which is then interpreted as 0% idle/iowait time. From the user space POV this is an unexpected behavior and a change of the interface. Let's fix this by using get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us which accounts the total idle/iowait time since boot and it doesn't rely on sampling or any other periodic activity. Fall back to the previous behavior if NO_HZ is disabled or not configured.

get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us update idle/iowait counters unconditionally if the given CPU is in the idle loop. This doesn't work well outside of CPU governors which are singletons so nobody (except for IRQ) can race with them.

update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter (via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get cumulative time for both idle and iowait times. The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading. Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well. If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other contexts as well and we will get expected values.
