commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream.
When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the
emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing
timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32.
This causes integer underflow in
kernel/time/jiffies.c:
kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
.mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */
^
This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

commit dd5fd9b91a77b4c9c28b7ef9c181b1a875820d0a upstream.
AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.
The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:
clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
tick_setup(local_apic);
...
idle()
tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
halt();
Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:
local_apic_timer_interrupt()
tick_handle_periodic();
softirq()
tick_init_highres();
cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);
So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.
The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.
The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.
Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
has a changelog :)

commit 330a1617b0a6268d427aa5922c94d082b1d3e96d upstream.
Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure
persist.
In the timekeeping suspend path, we udpate the timekeeper
structure, so we should be sure to update the shadow-timekeeper
before releasing the timekeeping locks. Currently this isn't done.
In most cases, the next time related code to run would be
timekeeping_resume, which does update the shadow-timekeeper, but
in an abundence of caution, this patch adds the call to
timekeeping_update() in the suspend path.

commit 04005f6011e3b504cd4d791d9769f7cb9a3b2eae upstream.
A think-o in the calculation of the monotonic -> tai time offset
results in CLOCK_TAI timers and nanosleeps to expire late (the
latency is ~2x the tai offset).
Fix this by adding the tai offset from the realtime offset instead
of subtracting.

In backporting 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a
(timekeeping: Avoid possible deadlock from clock_was_set_delayed),
I ralized the patch had a think-o where instead of checking
clock_set I accidentally typed clock_was_set (which is a function
- so the conditional always is true).
Upstream this was resolved in the immediately following patch
47a1b796306356f358e515149d86baf0cc6bf007 (tick/timekeeping: Call
update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock). But since that patch
really isn't -stable material, so this patch only pulls
the name change.

commit 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a upstream.
As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
hrtimer locks -> timekeeping locks
clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.
But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.
Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep
enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message:

[ 251.101967] Workqueue: events clock_was_set_work
So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.
This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

commit 5258d3f25c76f6ab86e9333abf97a55a877d3870 upstream.
In 780427f0e11 (Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock
gtod notifier), logic was added to pass a CLOCK_WAS_SET
notification to the pvclock notifier chain.
While that patch added a action flag returned from
accumulate_nsecs_to_secs(), it only uses the returned value
in one location, and not in the logarithmic accumulation.
This means if a leap second triggered during the logarithmic
accumulation (which is most likely where it would happen),
the notification that the clock was set would not make it to
the pv notifiers.
This patch extends the logarithmic_accumulation pass down
that action flag so proper notification will occur.
This patch also changes the varialbe action -> clock_set
per Ingo's suggestion.

commit f55c07607a38f84b5c7e6066ee1cfe433fa5643c upstream.
Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to
call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping
structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure

Unfortunately, the updates to the tai offset via adjtimex do not
trigger this update, causing adjustments to the tai offset to be
made and then over-written by the previous value at the next
update_wall_time() call.
This patch resovles the issue by calling timekeeping_update()
right after setting the tai offset.

commit 4be77398ac9d948773116b6be4a3c91b3d6ea18c upstream.
Since commit 1e75fa8be9f (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime
into xtime_sec - merged in v3.6), there has been an problem
with the error accounting in the timekeeping code, such that
when truncating to nanoseconds, we round up to the next nsec,
but the balancing adjustment to the ntp_error value was dropped.
This causes 1ns per tick drift forward of the clock.
In 3.7, this logic was isolated to only GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
architectures (s390, ia64, powerpc).
The fix is simply to balance the accounting and to subtract the
added nanosecond from ntp_error. This allows the internal long-term
clock steering to keep the clock accurate.
While this fix removes the regression added in 1e75fa8be9f, the
ideal solution is to move away from GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
and use the new VSYSCALL method, which avoids entirely the
nanosecond granular rounding, and the resulting short-term clock
adjustment oscillation needed to keep long term accurate time.
[ jstultz: Many thanks to Martin for his efforts identifying this
subtle bug, and providing the fix. ]

commit a97ad0c4b447a132a322cedc3a5f7fa4cab4b304 upstream.
The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens
in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be
difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the
target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second.
Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute
update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the
overall accuracy of the RTC much.

commit 98d6f4dd84a134d942827584a3c5f67ffd8ec35f upstream.
Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)
Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.
First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).
Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.
Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.
[ukl: move assignment to rnd after eventually changing mult, fix build
issue and correct comment with the right math]

timekeeping: Fix HRTICK related deadlock from ntp lock changes
|

Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.
Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:
[ 15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:

The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fdd4dc48451a ("timekeeping:

This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock

This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data
as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This
state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing
mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU
idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine.
The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which
also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing
RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the
timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long
enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state
variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally
to reset the state machine back into non-idle state.
For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's
force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price
of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle
state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually
small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which
do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive
the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of
CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time
definition.

Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger.
When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so
not really that small, there was one could get hung trying to read the
file a chunk at a time.
The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that
the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.

At least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick running for
timekeeping purposes whenever there is a non-idle CPU. However, with
the new nohz_full adaptive-idle machinery, it is difficult to distinguish
between all CPUs really being idle as opposed to all non-idle CPUs being
in adaptive-ticks mode. This commit therefore adds a Kconfig parameter
as a first step towards enabling a scalable detection of full-system
idle state.

tick_nohz_full_kick_all() is useful to notify all full dynticks
CPUs that there is a system state change to checkout before
re-evaluating the need for the tick.
Unfortunately this is implemented using smp_call_function_many()
that ignores the local CPU. This CPU also needs to re-evaluate
the tick.
on_each_cpu_mask() is not useful either because we don't want to
re-evaluate the tick state in place but asynchronously from an IPI
to avoid messing up with any random locking scenario.
So lets call tick_nohz_full_kick() from tick_nohz_full_kick_all()
so that the usual irq work takes care of it.

This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster
with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be
significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a

tracking
Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
more CPU-finegrained fashion.
Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively
enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that
we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking
and another range that does.
Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full
dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass
our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks
subsystem to the context tracking.
This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent
state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the
full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking
itself is still necessary everywhere.

Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:
We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also
have data from a large database setup where performance is also
measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
share-able.
Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:
kernel reverts
-----------------------------------------------------------
1) vanilla upstream (no reverts)
2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c
3) test reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4
e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c
In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
after reverting 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4. When
69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 is included, C0 residency
never seems to get above 40%. Taking that patch out gets C0 near
100% quite often, and performance increases.
The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.
- If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
- The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4,
shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.
Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
baseline.

If the user enables CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and runs the kernel on a machine
with an unstable TSC, it will produce a WARN_ON dump as well as taint
the kernel. This is a bit extreme for a kernel that just enables a
feature but doesn't use it.
The warning should only happen if the user tries to use the feature by
either adding nohz_full to the kernel command line, or by enabling
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL that makes nohz used on all CPUs at boot up. Note,
this second feature should not (yet) be used by distros or anyone that
doesn't care if NO_HZ is used or not.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

On ARM systems the dummy clockevent is registered with the cpu
hotplug notifier chain before any other per-cpu clockevent. This
has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be
registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is
first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in
tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in
periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic()
unconditionally.
On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't
switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if
the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the
broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and
start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way
the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's
possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the
system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick.
Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast
source.

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.

The recent implementation of a generic dummy timer resulted in a
different registration order of per cpu local timers which made the
broadcast control logic go belly up.
If the dummy timer is the first clock event device which is registered
for a CPU, then it is installed, the broadcast timer is initialized
and the CPU is marked as broadcast target.
If a real clock event device is installed after that, we can fail to
take the CPU out of the broadcast mask. In the worst case we end up
with two periodic timer events firing for the same CPU. One from the
per cpu hardware device and one from the broadcast.
Now the problem is that we have no way to distinguish whether the
system is in a state which makes broadcasting necessary or the
broadcast bit was set due to the nonfunctional dummy timer
installment.
To solve this we need to keep track of the system state seperately and
provide a more detailed decision logic whether we keep the CPU in
broadcast mode or not.
The old decision logic only clears the broadcast mode, if the newly
installed clock event device is not affected by power states.
The new logic clears the broadcast mode if one of the following is
true:
- The new device is not affected by power states.
- The system is not in a power state affected mode
- The system has switched to oneshot mode. The oneshot broadcast is
controlled from the deep idle state. The CPU is not in idle at
this point, so it's safe to remove it from the mask.
If we clear the broadcast bit for the CPU when a new device is
installed, we also shutdown the broadcast device when this was the
last CPU in the broadcast mask.
If the broadcast bit is kept, then we leave the new device in shutdown
state and rely on the broadcast to deliver the timer interrupts via
the broadcast ipis.

When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast
logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to
oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without
updating the state and the timer handler.
CPU0 CPU1
per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode
and switched to broadcast
Switch to oneshot mode
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask,
tick_broadcast_mask);
broadcast device mode = oneshot
Timer interrupt
irq_enter()
tick_check_oneshot_broadcast()
dev->set_mode(ONESHOT);
tick_handle_periodic()
if (dev->mode == ONESHOT)
dev->next_event += period;
FAIL.
We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was
in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened.
We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because
otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up
anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode.
So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU
has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device
untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode.
This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main
user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The
nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently
broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast
code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.

In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation
mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far,
but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a
constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
What happens is:
CPU0 CPU1
idle()
arch_idle()
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF);
set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask
if (cpu_offline())
arch_cpu_dead()
cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1)
cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL
broadcast interrupt
dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS
We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in
tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid
cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks.
Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the
tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot
broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the
machine.

If the clock was set (stepped), set the action parameter to functions
in the pvclock gtod notifier chain to non-zero. This allows the
callee to only do work if the clock was stepped.
This will be used on Xen as the synchronization of the Xen wallclock
to the control domain's (dom0) system time will be done with this
notifier and updating on every timer tick is unnecessary and too
expensive.

Instead of passing multiple bools to timekeeping_updated(), define
flags and use a single 'action' parameter. It is then more obvious
what each timekeeping_update() call does.

On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy
clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy
clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but
we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents
before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the
rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating
of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot
hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs
besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick
device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy
devices.
If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is
global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should
choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of
the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take
the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick
device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into
broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.
This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.
On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:
WARNING: at kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c:578 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:
1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer
2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
idle cpu CPU2
3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
runs the following code:
[...]
if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
goto out;
if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
goto out;
[...]
So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
first condition and jump out without clearing the
tick_broadcast_pending_mask.
4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
warning.
The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.
Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.

There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from
the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this
scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cyc = read_sched_clock()
cyc_to_sched_clock()
update_sched_clock()
...
cd.epoch_cyc = cyc;
epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc;
...
epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc)
The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we
calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting
the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely
larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that
will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing
time to jump forward too much.
Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has
stabilized.
