Though the time_before and time_after family of functions were nicely
extended to support jiffies64, so that the interface would be consistent,
it was forgotten to also extend the before/after jiffies functions to
support jiffies64. This commit brings the interface to parity between
jiffies and jiffies64, which is quite convenient.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;
}

While calculating the scheduler tick max deferment, the delta is
converted from microseconds to nanoseconds through a multiplication
against NSEC_PER_USEC.
But this microseconds operand is an unsigned int, thus the result may
likely overflow. The result is cast to u64 but only once the operation
is completed, which is too late to avoid overflown result.
This is currently not a problem because the scheduler tick max deferment
is 1 second. But this may become an issue as we plan to make this
value tunable.
So lets fix this by casting the usecs value to u64 before multiplying by
NSECS_PER_USEC.
Also to prevent from this kind of mistake to happen again, move this
ad-hoc jiffies -> nsecs conversion to a new helper.

According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results
in undefined behavior. This commit therefore changes the definitions
of time_after(), time_after_eq(), time_after64(), and time_after_eq64()
to avoid this undefined behavior. The trick is that the subtraction
is done using unsigned arithmetic, which according to 6.2.5p9 cannot
overflow because it is defined as modulo arithmetic. This has the added
(though admittedly quite small) benefit of shortening four lines of code
by four characters each.
Note that the C standard considers the cast from unsigned to
signed to be implementation-defined, see 6.3.1.3p3. However, on a
two's-complement system, an implementation that defines anything other
than a reinterpretation of the bits is free to come to me, and I will be
happy to act as a witness for its being committed to an insane asylum.
(Although I have nothing against saturating arithmetic or signals in some
cases, these things really should not be the default when compiling an
operating-system kernel.)

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.
This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.
This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.
Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.
For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.
Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.
This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.
This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.
NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed
in clock_t units.
This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed
to jiffies_to_clock_t().
This function has an overflow in :
return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ);
commit cbbc719fcc (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type
to unsigned long) only got around the problem.
As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking
various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper
that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a legacy constant that defines the timer
device's granularity. On hardware with particularly coarse
granularity, this constant is used to reduce accumulated
time error when using jiffies as a clocksource, by calculating
the hardware's actual tick length rather then just assuming
it is 1sec/HZ.
However, for the most part this is unnecessary, as most modern
systems don't use jiffies for their clocksource, and their
tick device is sufficiently fine grained to avoid major error.
Thus, this patch allows an architecture to not define
CLOCK_TICK_RATE, in which case ACTHZ defaults to (HZ << 8).

Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some
problems:
- The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so
it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days.
- msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument
is set, assuming that input was negative value. So it cannot
convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too.
This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can
deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as
unsigned.

Hi.
I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)
In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.
This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.
Thanx...

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.
Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.
It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.
2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).
Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.
In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:
Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07
NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
# touch /local/A/foo/bar
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:
Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min, 0 users, load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks
when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit
systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types
without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64
(unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work.
On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64()
will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by
64bit jiffies.

If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.
This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct
setting (still using PIT count).
If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced.
HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for
HPET timer.
Vojtech comments:
"It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally
exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error
there."

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
