  • 1850514b3   Drivers: clocksource: remove __dev* attributes. ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
    __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • d48fc63f6   Revert "clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously" ... Browse Code »

    This reverts commit b519508298e0292e1771eecf14aaf67755adc39d.

    The reason for this revert is that making the frequency verification
    preemptible and interruptible is not working reliably. Michaels
    machine failed to use PM-timer with the message:

    PM-Timer running at invalid rate: 113% of normal - aborting.

    That's not a surprise as the frequency verification does rely on
    interrupts being disabled. With a async scheduled thread there is no
    guarantee to achieve the same result. Also some driver might fiddle
    with the CTC channel 2 during the verification period, which makes the
    result even more random and unpredictable.

    This can be solved by using the same mechanism as we use in the
    deferred TSC validation code, but that only will work if we verified a
    working HPET _BEFORE_ trying to do the PM-Timer lazy validation.

    So for now reverting is the safe option.

  • b51950829   clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously ... Browse Code »

    The ACPI clocksource takes quite some time to initialize,
    and this increases the boot time of the kernel for a
    double digit percentage. This while almost all modern
    systems will be using the HPET already anyway.

    This patch turns the clocksource loading into an asynchronous
    operation; which means it won't hold up the boot while
    still becoming available normally.

    To make this work well, an udelay() had to be turned into an
    usleep_range() so that on UP systems, we yield the CPU to
    regular boot tasks instead of spinning.

    If the acpi pm timer throws invalid data, clear pmtmr_ioport
    so the pm timer won't accidentally be used.

    This was found when using Xen where there is a acpi pm reported,
    but gives bogus values, and other code was continuing to try
    to use the pm timer after the initialization failed.

  • 08604bd99   time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.h ... Browse Code »

    PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three
    different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it
    is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use
    asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency.

    Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL.
    This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve
    accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
    a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed
    to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be
    1193181.818181...

    The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports (
    http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the

  • dfdf748a6   clocksource, acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata mode ... Browse Code »

    On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
    hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
    ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
    at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
    (i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
    result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
    initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
    hardware is usable.

    Thanks to Andreas Mohr for spotting this issue.

  • 44c10138f   PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision ... Browse Code »

    Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
    ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.

    This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
    for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
    read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.

    In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
    appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
    and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

    Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

  • 1ff100d76   [PATCH] correct slow acpi_pm rating ... Browse Code »

    On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer,
    because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating
    to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT.

    Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM,
    so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far.

    So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

  • 6bb74df48   [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426) ... Browse Code »

    This patch resolves the issue found here:
    http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

    The basic summary is:
    Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
    time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
    causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
    calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
    where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
    jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
    the small sampling time used.

    It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
    function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
    resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
    discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
    time.

    Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
    the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
    selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

    This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
    clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
    timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
    boxes.
