2018-09-06clocksource: Revert "Remove kthread"Peter Zijlstra1-10/+30
I turns out that the silly spawn kthread from worker was actually needed. clocksource_watchdog_kthread() cannot be called directly from clocksource_watchdog_work(), because clocksource_select() calls timekeeping_notify() which uses stop_machine(). One cannot use stop_machine() from a workqueue() due lock inversions wrt CPU hotplug. Revert the patch but add a comment that explain why we jump through such apparently silly hoops.

2018-07-19time: Introduce one suspend clocksource to compensate the suspend timeBaolin Wang1-0/+149
On some hardware with multiple clocksources, we have coarse grained clocksources that support the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag, but which are less than ideal for timekeeping whereas other clocksources can be better candidates but halt on suspend. Currently, the timekeeping core only supports timing suspend using CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksources if that clocksource is the current clocksource for timekeeping. As a result, some architectures try to implement read_persistent_clock64() using those non-stop clocksources, but isn't really ideal, which will introduce more duplicate code. To fix this, provide logic to allow a registered SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksource, which isn't the current clocksource, to be used to calculate the suspend time.

2018-05-02clocksource: Allow clocksource_mark_unstable() on unregistered clocksourcesPeter Zijlstra1-16/+34
Because of how the code flips between tsc-early and tsc clocksources it might need to mark one or both unstable. The current code in mark_tsc_unstable() only worked because previously it registered the tsc clocksource once and then never touched it. Since it now unregisters the tsc-early clocksource, it needs to know if a clocksource got unregistered and the current cs->mult test doesn't work for that. Instead use list_empty(&cs->list) to test for registration. Furthermore, since clocksource_mark_unstable() needs to place the cs on the wd_list, it links the cs->list and cs->wd_list serialization. It must not see a clocsource registered (!empty cs->list) but already past dequeue_watchdog(). So place {en,de}queue{,_watchdog}() under the same lock. Provided cs->list is initialized to empty, this then allows us to unconditionally use clocksource_mark_unstable(), regardless of the registration state.

2017-11-21treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()Kees Cook1-2/+2
This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes, since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following examples, in addition to some other variations. Casting from unsigned long: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr); and forced object casts: void my_callback(struct something *ptr) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr); become: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); Direct function assignments: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback; have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback; And finally, callbacks without a data assignment: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion: void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script: spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/timer_setup.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e;

2017-11-21treewide: init_timer() -> setup_timer()Kees Cook1-2/+1
This mechanically converts all remaining cases of ancient open-coded timer setup with the old setup_timer() API, which is the first step in timer conversions. This has no behavioral changes, since it ultimately just changes the order of assignment to fields of struct timer_list when finding variations of: init_timer(&t); f.function = timer_callback; t.data = timer_callback_arg; to be converted into: setup_timer(&t, timer_callback, timer_callback_arg); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script, which is an improved version of scripts/cocci/api/setup_timer.cocci, in the following ways: - assignments-before-init_timer() cases - limit the .data case removal to the specific struct timer_list instance - handling calls by dereference (timer->field vs timer.field) spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/setup_timer.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e; @@ init_timer( -&(e) +&e , ...) // Match the common cases first to avoid Coccinelle parsing loops with // "... when" clauses. @match_immediate_function_data_after_init_timer@ expression e, func, da; @@ -init_timer +setup_timer ( \(&e\|e\) +, func, da ); ( -\(e.function\|e->function\) = func; -\(e.data\|e->data\) = da; | -\(e.data\|e->data\) = da; -\(e.function\|e->function\) = func; ) @match_immediate_function_data_before_init_timer@ expression e, func, da; @@ ( -\(e.function\|e->function\) = func; -\(e.data\|e->data\) = da; | -\(e.data\|e->data\) = da; -\(e.function\|e->function\) = func; ) -init_timer +setup_timer ( \(&e\|e\) +, func, da ); @match_function_and_data_after_init_timer@ expression e, e2, e3, e4, e5, func, da; @@ -init_timer +setup_timer ( \(&e\|e\) +, func, da ); ... when != func = e2 when != da = e3 ( -e.function = func; ... when != da = e4 -e.data = da; | -e->function = func; ... when != da = e4 -e->data = da; | -e.data = da; ... when != func = e5 -e.function = func; | -e->data = da; ... when != func = e5 -e->function = func; ) @match_function_and_data_before_init_timer@ expression e, e2, e3, e4, e5, func, da; @@ ( -e.function = func; ... when != da = e4 -e.data = da; | -e->function = func; ... when != da = e4 -e->data = da; | -e.data = da; ... when != func = e5 -e.function = func; | -e->data = da; ... when != func = e5 -e->function = func; ) ... when != func = e2 when != da = e3 -init_timer +setup_timer ( \(&e\|e\) +, func, da ); @r1 exists@ expression t; identifier f; position p; @@ f(...) { ... when any init_timer@p(\(&t\|t\)) ... when any } @r2 exists@ expression r1.t; identifier g != r1.f; expression e8; @@ g(...) { ... when any \(t.data\|t->data\) = e8 ... when any } // It is dangerous to use setup_timer if data field is initialized // in another function. @script:python depends on r2@ p << r1.p; @@ cocci.include_match(False) @r3@ expression r1.t, func, e7; position r1.p; @@ ( -init_timer@p(&t); +setup_timer(&t, func, 0UL); ... when != func = e7 -t.function = func; | -t.function = func; ... when != func = e7 -init_timer@p(&t); +setup_timer(&t, func, 0UL); | -init_timer@p(t); +setup_timer(t, func, 0UL); ... when != func = e7 -t->function = func; | -t->function = func; ... when != func = e7 -init_timer@p(t); +setup_timer(t, func, 0UL); ) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2017-05-15x86/tsc, sched/clock, clocksource: Use clocksource watchdog to provide stable sync pointsPeter Zijlstra1-0/+3
Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked. So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've found it to still be stable. There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock values. And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an optimization.

2016-12-07clocksource: export the clocks_calc_mult_shift to use by timestamp codeMurali Karicheri1-0/+1
The CPSW CPTS driver is capable of doing timestamping on tx/rx packets and requires to know mult and shift factors for timestamp conversion from raw value to nanoseconds (ptp clock). Now these mult and shift factors are calculated manually and provided through DT, which makes very hard to support of a lot number of platforms, especially if CPTS refclk is not the same for some kind of boards and depends on efuse settings (Keystone 2 platforms). Hence, export clocks_calc_mult_shift() to allow drivers like CPSW CPTS (and other ptp drivesr) to benefit from automaitc calculation of mult and shift factors.

2016-08-31clocksource: Defer override invalidation unless clock is unstableKyle Walker1-3/+12
Clocksources don't get the VALID_FOR_HRES flag until they have been checked by a watchdog. However, when using an override, the clocksource_select logic will clear the override value if the clocksource is not marked VALID_FOR_HRES during that inititial check. When using the boot arguments clocksource=<foo>, this selection can run before the watchdog, and can cause the override to be incorrectly cleared. To address this condition, the override_name is only invalidated for unstable clocksources. Otherwise, the override is left intact until after the watchdog has validated the clocksource as stable/unstable.

2015-03-12clocksource: Simplify the logic around clocksource wrapping safety marginsJohn Stultz1-14/+12
The clocksource logic has a number of places where we try to include a safety margin. Most of these are 12% safety margins, but they are inconsistently applied and sometimes are applied on top of each other. Additionally, in the previous patch, we corrected an issue where we unintentionally in effect created a 50% safety margin, which these 12.5% margins where then added to. So to simplify the logic here, this patch removes the various 12.5% margins, and consolidates adding the margin in one place: clocks_calc_max_nsecs(). Additionally, Linus prefers a 50% safety margin, as it allows bad clock values to be more easily caught. This should really have no net effect, due to the corrected issue earlier which caused greater then 50% margins to be used w/o issue.

Since this is not in the hot path, just do the divide to make it easier to read.

2013-07-05clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capabilityThomas Gleixner1-15/+42
Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability) we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already switched to highres/nohz mode. The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process looks like this: tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC); clocksource_register(HPET); clocksource_done_booting(); clocksource_select() Selects HPET which is valid for high-res switch_to_highres(); clocksource_register(TSC); TSC is not selected, because it is not yet flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES clocksource_watchdog() Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC the current clocksource. Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable, then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again. The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid high res clocksource. To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set. To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread(). So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex unlock/relock dance.

2013-05-16clocksource: Provide unbind interface in sysfsThomas Gleixner1-0/+73
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.
