Pull timer fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A fix for an abs()/abs64() bug that caused too slow NTP convergence on
32-bit kernels, plus a removal of an obsolete clockevents driver
facility after all users got converted during the merge window"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
clockevents: Remove unused set_mode() callback
time: Fix timekeeping_freqadjust()'s incorrect use of abs() instead of abs64()
|

All users are migrated to the per-state callbacks, get rid of the
unused interface and the core support code.

The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error
correction uses a logarithmic approximation, so any time
adjtimex() adjusts the clock steering, timekeeping_freqadjust()
quickly approximates the correct clock frequency over a series
of ticks.
Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced
in commit:
dc491596f639 ("timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz")
used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the
size of the approximated adjustment to be made.
Per include/linux/kernel.h:
"abs() should not be used for 64-bit types (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()".
Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to
take a quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the
proper frequency, which caused the adjustments to be made much
slower then intended (most easily observed when large
adjustments are made).
This patch fixes the issue by using abs64() instead.

The code ensures that when nohz full is running, at least the
boot CPU serves as a housekeeper and it can't be later offlined.
Let's assert this assumption to make sure that we have CPUs to
handle unbound jobs like workqueues and timers while nohz full
CPUs run undisturbed.
Also improve the comments on housekeeper offlining prevention.

Commit 75e3b37d0598 ("hrtimer: Drop return code of hrtimer_switch_to_hres()")
drops the return code of hrtimer_switch_to_hres(). While doing so, it also
drops the return statement itself on failure. This may cause a system hang.
Seen when running arm:multi_v7_defconfig in qemu with devicetree file

lock_timer_base() cannot prevent the following :
CPU1 ( in __mod_timer()
timer->flags |= TIMER_MIGRATING;
spin_unlock(&base->lock);
base = new_base;
spin_lock(&base->lock);
// The next line clears TIMER_MIGRATING
timer->flags &= ~TIMER_BASEMASK;
CPU2 (in lock_timer_base())
see timer base is cpu0 base
spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags);
if (timer->flags == tf)
return base; // oops, wrong base
timer->flags |= base->cpu // too late
We must write timer->flags in one go, otherwise we can fool other cpus.

The weak update_persistent_clock64() calls update_persistent_clock(),
if the architecture defines an update_persistent_clock64() to replace
and remove its update_persistent_clock() version, when building the
kernel the linker will throw an undefined symbol error, that is, any
arch that switches to update_persistent_clock64() will have this issue.
To solve the issue, we add the common weak update_persistent_clock().

Two issues were found on an IMX6 development board without an
enabled RTC device(resulting in the boot time and monotonic
time being initialized to 0).
Issue 1:exportfs -a generate:
"exportfs: /opt/nfs/arm does not support NFS export"
Issue 2:cat /proc/stat:
"btime 4294967236"
The same issues can be reproduced on x86 after running the
following code:
int main(void)
{
struct timeval val;
int ret;
val.tv_sec = 0;
val.tv_usec = 0;
ret = settimeofday(&val, NULL);
return 0;
}
Two issues are different symptoms of same problem:
The reason is a positive wall_to_monotonic pushes boot time back
to the time before Epoch, and getboottime will return negative
value.
In symptom 1:
negative boot time cause get_expiry() to overflow time_t
when input expire time is 2147483647, then cache_flush()
always clears entries just added in ip_map_parse.
In symptom 2:
show_stat() uses "unsigned long" to print negative btime
value returned by getboottime.
This patch fix the problem by prohibiting time from being set to a value which
would cause a negative boot time. As a result one can't set the CLOCK_REALTIME
time prior to (1970 + system uptime).

timespec_trunc() avoids rounding if granularity <= nanoseconds-per-jiffie
(or TICK_NSEC). This optimization assumes that:
1. current_kernel_time().tv_nsec is already rounded to TICK_NSEC (i.e.
with HZ=1000 you'd get 1000000, 2000000, 3000000... but never 1000001).
This is no longer true (probably since hrtimers introduced in 2.6.16).
2. TICK_NSEC is evenly divisible by all possible granularities. This may
be true for HZ=100, 250, 1000, but obviously not for HZ=300 /
TICK_NSEC=3333333 (introduced in 2.6.20).
Thus, sub-second portions of in-core file times are not rounded to on-disk
granularity. I.e. file times may change when the inode is re-read from disk
or when the file system is remounted.
This affects all file systems with file time granularities > 1 ns and < 1s,
e.g. CEPH (1000 ns), UDF (1000 ns), CIFS (100 ns), NTFS (100 ns) and FUSE
(configurable from user mode via struct fuse_init_out.time_gran).
Steps to reproduce with e.g. UDF:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=udfdisk count=10000 && mkudffs udfdisk
$ mkdir udf && mount udfdisk udf
$ touch udf/test && stat -c %y udf/test
2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006767 +0200
$ umount udf && mount udfdisk udf
$ stat -c %y udf/test
2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006000 +0200
Remounting truncates the mtime to 1 µs.
Fix the rounding in timespec_trunc() and update the documentation.
timespec_trunc() is exclusively used to calculate inode's [acm]time (mostly
via current_fs_time()), and always with super_block.s_time_gran as second
argument. So this can safely be changed without side effects.
Note: This does _not_ fix the issue for FAT's 2 second mtime resolution,
as super_block.s_time_gran isn't prepared to handle different ctime /
mtime / atime resolutions nor resolutions > 1 second.

monotonic timers
I noticed for non-monotonic timers in timer_list, some of the
output looked a little confusing.
For example:
#1: <0000000000000000>, posix_timer_fn, S:01, hrtimer_start_range_ns, leap-a-day/2360
# expires at 1434412800000000000-1434412800000000000 nsecs [in 1434410725062375469 to 1434410725062375469 nsecs]
You'll note the relative time till the expiration "[in xxx to
yyy nsecs]" is incorrect. This is because its printing the delta
between CLOCK_MONOTONIC time to the CLOCK_REALTIME expiration.
This patch fixes this issue by adding the clock offset to the
"now" time which we use to calculate the delta.

Restart the tick when necessary from the irq exit path. It makes nohz
full more flexible, simplify the related IPIs and doesn't bring
significant overhead on irq exit.
In a longer term view, it will allow us to piggyback the nohz kick
on the scheduler IPI in the future instead of sending a dedicated IPI
that often doubles the scheduler IPI on task wakeup. This will require
more changes though including careful review of resched_curr() callers
to include nohz full needs.

On nohz full early days, idle dynticks and full dynticks weren't well
integrated and we couldn't risk full dynticks calls on idle without
risking messing up tick idle statistics. This is why we prevented such
thing to happen.
Nowadays full dynticks and idle dynticks are better integrated and
interact without known issue.
So lets remove that.

Andriy reported that on a virtual machine the warning about negative
expiry time in the clock events programming code triggered:
hpet: hpet0 irq 40 for MSI
hpet: hpet1 irq 41 for MSI
Switching to clocksource hpet
WARNING: at kernel/time/clockevents.c:239
[<ffffffff810ce6eb>] clockevents_program_event+0xdb/0xf0
[<ffffffff810cf211>] tick_handle_periodic_broadcast+0x41/0x50
[<ffffffff81016525>] timer_interrupt+0x15/0x20
When the second hpet is installed as a per cpu timer the broadcast
event is not longer required and stopped, which sets the next_evt of
the broadcast device to KTIME_MAX.
If after that a spurious interrupt happens on the broadcast device,
then the current code blindly handles it and tries to reprogram the
broadcast device afterwards, which adds the period to
next_evt. KTIME_MAX + period results in a negative expiry value
causing the WARN_ON in the clockevents code to trigger.
Add a proper check for the state of the broadcast device into the
interrupt handler and return if the interrupt is spurious.

If the current cpu is the one which has the hrtimer based broadcast
queued then we better return busy immediately instead of going through
loops and hoops to figure that out.

Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from
going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode.
If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no
sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to
go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up
again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based
broadcast device is not evaluated.
Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide
proper subfunctions for the various config combinations.
The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP
misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle
can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary.
Provide checks for the trivial cases:
- If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy
- If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return
busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based.
- If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs
extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion
which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep
track of the currently running timer.
local_timer_interrupt()
local_handler()
hrtimer_interrupt()
expire_hrtimers()
broadcast_hrtimer()
send_ipis()
local_handler()
hrtimer_interrupt()
....
Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast
code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.

Its mandatory for the drivers to provide set_state_{oneshot|periodic}()
(only if related modes are supported) and set_state_shutdown() callbacks
today, if they are implementing the new set-state interface.
But this leads to unnecessary noop callbacks for drivers which don't
want to implement them. Over that, it will lead to a full function call
for nothing really useful.
Lets make all set-state callbacks optional.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
majority of cases.
From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI
device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
device configuration object.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
the last minute for 4.1.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
_MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
Lv Zheng).
- ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).
- rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).
- fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).
- fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
(Rafael J Wysocki).
- fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).
- support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).
- ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).
- ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).
- ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).
- cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).
- assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).
- fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).
- fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
Kandoi).
- support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).
- new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
Rafael J Wysocki).
- wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).
- new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).
- assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).
- cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
Wysocki).
- powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).
- cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).
- serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
Bhargava, Joe Konno).
- cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).
- assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma,
Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).
- new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
Points (Viresh Kumar).
- updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
(Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.
The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.
With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No
intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field.
I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this
would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about
that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats
stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf
as well.

Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply
cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the
correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and
the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and
the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel.
Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances:
- boot_tvec_base
That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the
timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no
other purpose.
With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static
initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base
dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the
per cpu base.
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
17491 9201 4160 30852 7884 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o
After:
text data bss dec hex filename
17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o
- Overloading the base pointer with various flags
The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable,
irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling
with the base pointer.
As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit
machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list,
which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs.
This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer
start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows
us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well.
We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the
static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate
big endian bitfields.
