tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.[ Impact: prevent hard lock up ]

Add enable() and disable() callbacks for clocksources.
This allows us to put unused clocksources in power save mode. The
functions clocksource_enable() and clocksource_disable() wrap the
callbacks and are inserted in the timekeeping code to enable before use

Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked
Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization:
When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL
was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is
arguably the wrong thing to do.We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in
ntp_update_offset(), in form of:if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0))
secs = 0;But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when
the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup.So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions.
This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for
a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update,
with a very large delta.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
-
Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed
The time_reftime update in ntp_update_offset() to xtime.tv_sec
is a convoluted way of saying that we want to freeze the frequency
and want the 'secs' delta to be 0. Also make this branch unlikely.This shaves off 8 bytes from the code size:

Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed
for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value
is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency().
However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the
next second (via second_overflow).This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the
requested change made as quickly as expected.I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.

Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like
ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code
in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time
stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time.The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on
a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code
elsewhere.The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name
"assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper:

So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c
and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar
interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces
new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing
struct clocksource.The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are
* the APIs are clearly related
* struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs
* avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h?
timecounter.h?)As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds
* struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles
* struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which
provides a nanosecond counter
* only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally
and not exposed to users of timecounterThe code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least
as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds.
Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.Acked-by: John Stultz

Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox
On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().Signed-off-by: Sebastien Dugue

Allow the set_mode() clockevent callback to decide and fill in delta
details such as shift, mult, max_delta_ns and min_delta_ns.With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details
which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent
gets setup using set_mode().Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save
power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused.
This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the
clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla
details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough.Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only
clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such
drivers without the delta details filled in.Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm

The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
