2006-09-26[PATCH] hpet rtc emulation: add watchdog timerClemens Ladisch1-6/+31
To prevent the emulated RTC timer from stopping when interrupts are delayed for too long, disable interrupts around all of the register initialization, and check that the interrupt handler did not schedule the next interrupt in the past.

2006-09-26[PATCH] X86_64 monotonic_clock goes backwardsDimitri Sivanich1-7/+4
I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version of monotonic_clock(). While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values occasionally went negative (time going backwards). I found that in the following code: this_offset = get_cycles_sync(); /* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */ --> offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz; } return base + offset; the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though this_offset > last_offset. +Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com> The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns(). I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq(). Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0 is enabled.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Add the vgetcpu vsyscallVojtech Pavlik1-6/+7
This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node numbers and pass them to the program. AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code: Better prototype for vgetcpu() It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA. Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied argument to speed things more up. Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from GDT limit instead of CPUID Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.

2006-07-28[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Add user_mode checks to profile_pc for oprofileAndi Kleen1-1/+1
Fixes a obscure user space triggerable crash during oprofiling. Oprofile calls profile_pc from NMIs even when user_mode(regs) is not true and the program counter is inside the kernel lock section. This opens a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could happen. Add user_mode checks to i386/x86-64 profile_pc to prevent that.

2006-06-26[PATCH] x86_64: Explain why HPET T0_CMP register is written twiceVojtech Pavlik1-2/+2
After writing the CFG register, the first value written to the T0_CMP register is the value at which next interrupt should be triggered, every value after that sets the period of the interrupt. For that reason, the code needs to write the value twice - to set both the phase and period.

2006-04-09[PATCH] x86_64: Fix drift with HPET timer enabledJordan Hargrave1-0/+2
If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day. This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct setting (still using PIT count). If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced. HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for HPET timer. Vojtech comments: "It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error there."

2006-03-31[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi1-2/+2
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

2006-02-26[PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlierAndi Kleen1-11/+11
SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe timer or not. This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early. This fixes a couple of problems: - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was set up time_init_gtod too late. - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading because time_init_gtod could actually change it later.

2006-02-11[PATCH] x86-64: Fix HPET timer on x460Chris McDermott1-3/+9
[description from AK] The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter. Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode or no HPET at all. TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

2006-02-04[PATCH] x86_64: Allow to run main time keeping from the local APIC interruptAndi Kleen1-7/+38
Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch. This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option. This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable. Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case should be automatically detected. It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work. It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with nearly nanosecond accuracy.
