John Stultz fee84c43e6 time: Explicitly use u32 instead of int for shift values
Ingo noted that using a u32 instead of int for shift values
would be better to make sure the compiler doesn't unnecessarily
use complex signed arithmetic.

John Stultz 6b1859dba0 ntp: Fix STA_INS/DEL clearing bug
In commit 6b43ae8a61, I
introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit
from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex()
without forcing STA_PLL first.

Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared
until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this
affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it
took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS
was set.

Thomas Gleixner f6c06abfb3 timekeeping: Provide hrtimer update function
To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to
be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

We need to update the hrtimer clock offsets from the hrtimer interrupt
context. To avoid conversions from timespec to ktime_t maintain a
ktime_t based representation of those offsets in the timekeeper. This
puts the conversion overhead into the code which updates the
underlying offsets and provides fast accessible values in the hrtimer
interrupt.

John Stultz 4873fa070a timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issue
The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a
leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are
either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap
second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated
which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other
means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data
stays forever and timers are expired either early or late.

The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a
call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures.
See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix

Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of
a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context
as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard
interrupt context.

Peter Zijlstra 5167e8d541 sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again
Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code:

 - If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a
   negative bias because we can negate our own sample.

 - If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias
   because we push the sample to a known active period.

So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding
copious documentation to the code.

Frederic Weisbecker 5b39939a40 nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict idle logic
Since we want to prepare for making the nohz API to work further
the idle case, we need to pull ts->idle_calls incrementation up to
the callers in idle.

To perform this, we split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in two parts:
a first one that checks if we can really stop the tick for idle,
and another that actually stops it. Then from the callers in idle,
we check if we can stop the tick and only then we increment idle_calls
and finally relay to the nohz API that won't care about these details
anymore.

Frederic Weisbecker f5d411c91e nohz: Rename ts->idle_tick to ts->last_tick
Now that idle and nohz logics are going to be independant each others,
ts->idle_tick becomes too much a biased name to describe the field that
saves the last scheduled tick on top of which we re-calculate the next
tick to schedule when the timer is restarted.

We want to reuse this even to stop the tick outside idle cases. So let's
rename it to some more generic name: ts->last_tick.

This changes a bit the timer list stat export so we need to increase its
version.

Frederic Weisbecker 2ac0d98fd6 nohz: Make nohz API agnostic against idle ticks cputime accounting
When the timer tick fires, it accounts the new jiffy as either part
of system, user or idle time. This is how we record the cputime
statistics.

But when the tick is stopped from the idle task, we still need
to record the number of jiffies spent tickless until we restart
the tick and fall back to traditional tick-based cputime accounting.

To do this, we take a snapshot of jiffies when the tick is stopped
and compute the difference against the new value of jiffies when
the tick is restarted. Then we account this whole difference to
the idle cputime.

However we are preparing to be able to stop the tick from other places
than idle. So this idle time accounting needs to be performed from
the callers of nohz APIs, not from the nohz APIs themselves because
we now want them to be agnostic against places that stop/restart tick.

Therefore, we pull the tickless idle time accounting out of generic
nohz helpers up to idle entry/exit callers.

 " This series has four patches, the major point of which is to eliminate

   RCU_FAST_NO_HZ changes.  The issue with the changes is that posting timers
   from the idle loop has no effect if the CPU has entered dyntick-idle
   mode because the CPU has already computed its wakeup time, and posting
   a timer does not cause it to be recomputed.  The short-term fix is for
   RCU to precompute the timeout value so that the CPU's calculation is
   correct. "

Paul E. McKenney aa9b16306e rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets
When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the
next wakeup time based on the timer wheels.  Only later, when actually
entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked.  In some
cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up.
But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been
computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup
time to be recomputed.  This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have
no effect.

This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake
up the CPU soon enough.  However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU
might stay asleep for a considerable length of time.  If that CPU has
a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might
run very slowly or (in theory) even hang.

This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU
to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account
when programming the CPU's wakeup time.  An alternative approach is
for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers,
but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently
and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly
what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

Peter Zijlstra 5aaa0b7a2e sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load calculations some more
Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[]
calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the
mostly idle case.

Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[]
array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load
balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing
a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

Mike Galbraith 5307c9556b tick: Add tick skew boot option
Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.

Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867:

"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
 various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
 xtime_lock.
    
 Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
 since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
 this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
 many-core systems."

Problems:

- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
  xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
  
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
  being synchronized.

- SGI reports the same for their large systems.

- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
  but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.

- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
  This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
  to have been _induced by_ skew removal.  Skew the tick, contention
  disappeared virtually completely.

Thomas Gleixner 764e0da14f timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation fallout
Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.

Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.

This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.

For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

Suresh Siddha a6371f8023 tick: Fix the spurious broadcast timer ticks after resume
During resume, tick_resume_broadcast() programs the broadcast timer in
oneshot mode unconditionally. On the platforms where broadcast timer
is not really required, this will generate spurious broadcast timer
ticks upon resume. For example, on the always running apic timer
platforms with HPET, I see spurious hpet tick once every ~5minutes
(which is the 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time).

Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of
the broadcast clock event device conditional on the state of active
broadcast users.

Thomas Gleixner b9a6a23566 tick: Ensure that the broadcast device is initialized
Santosh found another trap when we avoid to initialize the broadcast
device in the switch_to_oneshot code. The broadcast device might be
still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That
obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown
device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it:

From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling
the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case,
hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be
null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states
and using the reliable APIC timer.

Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to
'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to
oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit
'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot
as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's
handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to
'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop
handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets
replaced by the lapic timer).

But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in
the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During
resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as
oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot
mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet
wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the
normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a
spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt
after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound
time), but that's a separate issue.

Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

Thomas Gleixner b435092f70 tick: Fix oneshot broadcast setup really
Sven Joachim reported, that suspend/resume on rc3 trips over a NULL
pointer dereference. Linus spotted the clockevent handler being NULL.

commit fa4da365b(clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()) tried to fix a problem with the
broadcast device setup, which was introduced in commit 77b0d60c5(
clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not
needed).

The initial commit avoided to set up the broadcast device when no
broadcast request bits were set, but that left the broadcast device
disfunctional. In consequence deep idle states which need the
broadcast device were not woken up.

commit fa4da365b tried to fix that by initializing the state of the
broadcast facility, but that missed the fact, that nothing initializes
the event handler and some other state of the underlying clock event
device.

The fix is to revert both commits and make only the mode setting of
the clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast
users. 

That initializes everything except the low level device mode, but this
happens when the broadcast functionality is invoked by deep idle.

Suresh Siddha fa4da365bc clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
In the commit 77b0d60c5a,
"clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed",
we were bailing out too quickly in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot(),
with out tracking the broadcast device mode change to 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT'.

This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during
deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is
in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep
idle entry/exit.

Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT',
before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active
requests for the moment.

Neal Cardwell 6f103929f8 nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()
Fix tick_nohz_restart() to not use a stale ktime_t "now" value when
calling tick_do_update_jiffies64(now).

If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick
boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now"
refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is
incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value.

In particular, the first time through the loop the
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the
caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value.

Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct
approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new
timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.

John Stultz 6b43ae8a61 ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock
Since commit 7dffa3c673 the ntp
subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond
adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock.

Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern:
CPU 0                                                    CPU 1
do_adjtimex()
  spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock);
    process_adjtimex_modes();				 timer_interrupt()
      process_adj_status();                                do_timer()
        ntp_start_leap_timer();                             write_lock(&xtime_lock);
          hrtimer_start();                                  update_wall_time();
             hrtimer_reprogram();                            ntp_tick_length()
               tick_program_event()                            spin_lock(&ntp_lock);
                 clockevents_program_event()
		   ktime_get()
                     seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock);

This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using
an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond
processing in the second_overflow() function.

The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres
timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary,
(ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ)  after the leap second instead of
possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic).

This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

set to 1.

Remove the checks for ts->inidle in tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies a bit the code and improves its debuggability
(ie: ensure the call is paired with a tick_nohz_idle_enter()
call).

Michal Hocko 430ee88195 nohz: Remove update_ts_time_stat from tick_nohz_start_idle
There is no reason to call update_ts_time_stat from tick_nohz_start_idle
anymore (after e0e37c20 sched: Eliminate the ts->idle_lastupdate field)
when we updated idle_lastupdate unconditionally.

We haven't set idle_active yet and do not provide last_update_time so
the whole call end up being just 2 wasted branches.

Suresh Siddha 77b0d60c5a clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed
Platforms with Always Running APIC Timer doesn't use the broadcast timer
but the kernel is leaving the broadcast timer (HPET in this case)
in oneshot mode.

On these platforms, before the switch to oneshot mode, broadcast device is
actually in shutdown mode. Code checks for empty tick_broadcast_mask and
avoids going into the periodic mode.

During switch to oneshot mode, add the same tick_broadcast_mask checks in the
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() and avoid the broadcast device going into
the oneshot mode.

John Stultz a80b83b7b8 Input: add infrastructure for selecting clockid for event time stamps
As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is
difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event
occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed.

However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be
changed without possibly breaking existing users.

This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the
evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event
timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME).

For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but
in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate.

The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.

Frederic Weisbecker 1268fbc746 nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.

Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

Frederic Weisbecker 2bbb6817c0 nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.

To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().

If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().

Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:

- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

Frederic Weisbecker 280f06774a nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:

- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.

There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.

Split this function into:

- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.

- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).

To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().

This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle

Paul E. McKenney 9b2e4f1880 rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasks
Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness
by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y.  But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side
critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing.  A more
fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required.

This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service,
so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is
always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration.  Similarly,
rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked
at the end of an idle-loop iteration.  This allows the idle task to
use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and
rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to
specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used.

Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks
to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that
the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts.  This
patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits
and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions
and interrupt entry/exit transitions.  It is presumed that userspace
upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution
(though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall).
The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which
avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating.  Overflow
is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter.

This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter
idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying
Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246).
In addition, validation of ->dynticks and ->dynticks_nesting is added.

Suresh Siddha 69e1e811dc sched, nohz: Track nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_power
Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group
because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain]
and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will
be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu
belongs to.

To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters
and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is
delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.
This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

ktime_get and ktime_get_ts were calling timekeeping_get_ns()

using this mechanism returned 0 ns when calling these functions.

This happened for example when running Busybox's ping which calls
syscall(__NR_clock_gettime, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts) which eventually
calls ktime_get. As a result the returned ping travel time was zero.

John Stultz d65670a78c clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjusted
For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will
unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff.  This
has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding
to the mult value.

This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides
an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to
500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could
be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both
check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as
well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over
that 11% boundary.

v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE
messages.

v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set

KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the
clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a
potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes

We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in

The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.

In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

Michal Hocko 6beea0cda8 nohz: Fix update_ts_time_stat idle accounting
update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
(via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.

Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
contexts as well and we will get expected values.

In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq
periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the
alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does.

This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the
alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further,
to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions
to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.

John Stultz 6af7e471e5 alarmtimers: Avoid possible denial of service with high freq periodic timers
Its possible to jam up the alarm timers by setting very small interval
timers, which will cause the alarmtimer subsystem to spend all of its time
firing and restarting timers. This can effectivly lock up a box.

A deeper fix is needed, closely mimicking the hrtimer code, but for now
just cap the interval to 100us to avoid userland hanging the system.

John Stultz cb33217b1b time: Avoid accumulating time drift in suspend/resume
Because the read_persistent_clock interface is usually backed by
only a second granular interface, each time we read from the persistent
clock for suspend/resume, we introduce a half second (on average) of error.

In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended
over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the persistent
clock and the system CLOCK_REALTIME.

If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate
by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger
then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we
do no correction and update the delta.

Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected
time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the
value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to
restore the previous offset from the persistent clock.  However, without
this patch, since each read could cause almost a full second worth of
error, its possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the
suspend/resume cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by
the compensation.

Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time
closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to
accumulate.

John Stultz 1c6b39ad3f alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present
Toralf Förster and Richard Weinberger noted that if there is
no RTC device, the alarm timers core prints out an annoying
"ALARM timers will not wake from suspend" message.

This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however
the issue still remains:  The original idea was to support
alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the
system didn't go into suspend.

However, after further consideration, communicating to the application
that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better
solution.

So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM
clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system.

Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device
we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create,
and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been
observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC.

The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt
handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the
TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the
unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled
region to avoid that.

Thomas Gleixner 07f4beb0b5 tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.

The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.

In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.

The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.

[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
  folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
  switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
  state? ]

Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm
capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in
the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init()
checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and
not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content
when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to
random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is
dereferenced

Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of
class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid
as well.

Thomas Gleixner 99ee5315da timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was set
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.

Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.

The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

John Stultz 9a7adcf5c6 timers: Posix interface for alarm-timers
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.

Some background can be found here:
	https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).

The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).

One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.

There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

John Stultz ff3ead96d1 timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.

Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

to measure the time in suspend.

The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.

This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.

The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

Richard Cochran 1791f88143 posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.

For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.

This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set

Rafael J. Wysocki e1a85b2c51 timekeeping: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev
The timekeeping subsystem uses a sysdev class and a sysdev for
executing timekeeping_suspend() after interrupts have been turned off
on the boot CPU (during system suspend) and for executing
timekeeping_resume() before turning on interrupts on the boot CPU
(during system resume).  However, since both of these functions
ignore their arguments, the entire mechanism may be replaced with a
struct syscore_ops object which is simpler.

When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the

unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working

dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
The following system calls are affected:

   - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
   - clock_gettime
   - clock_getres
   - clock_settime
   - timer_create
   - timer_delete
   - timer_gettime
   - timer_settime

MONOTONIC_RAW clock timestamps are ideally suited for frequency

A new function getnstime_raw_and_real is added to timekeeping subsystem to
capture both timestamps at the same time and atomically.

Alexander Gordeev 025b40abe7 ntp: add hardpps implementation
This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills.  However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal.  The typical error is less then a microsecond.

To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately.  Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.

Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

john stultz b5776c4a6d Fix rounding in clocks_calc_mult_shift()
Russell King reports:
| On the ARM dev boards, we have a 32-bit counter running at 24MHz.  Calling
| clocks_calc_mult_shift(&mult, &shift, 24MHz, NSEC_PER_SEC, 60) gives
| us a multiplier of 2796202666 and a shift of 26.
|
| Over a large counter delta, this produces an error - lets take a count
| from 362976315 to 4280663372:
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202666 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
|  => -38.91872422891230269990
|
| Can we do better?
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202667 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
| 19.45936211449532822051
|
| which is about twice as good as the 2796202666 multiplier.
|
| Looking at the equivalent divisions obtained, 2796202666 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666665673255920410ns per tick, whereas 2796202667 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666667163372039794ns.  The actual value wanted is 1000/24 =
| 41.66666666666666666666ns.

Fix this by ensuring we round to nearest when calculating the
multiplier.

Christoph Lameter 909ea96468 core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.
__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a
single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the
correct per cpu instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()
cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.

Kasper Pedersen a386b5af8e time: Compensate for rounding on odd-frequency clocksources
When the clocksource is not a multiple of HZ, the clock will be off.  For
acpi_pm, HZ=1000 the error is 127.111 ppm:

The rounding of cycle_interval ends up generating a false error term in
ntp_error accumulation since xtime_interval is not exactly 1/HZ.  So, we
subtract out the error caused by the rounding.

This has been visible since 2.6.32-rc2
	commit a092ff0f90
	time: Implement logarithmic time accumulation
That commit raised NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ and exposed the rounding error.

Miroslav Lichvar 8af3c153ba ntp: Clamp PLL update interval
Clamp update interval to reduce PLL gain with low sampling rate (e.g.
intermittent network connection) to avoid instability.

The clamp roughly corresponds to the loop time constant, it's 8 * poll
interval for SHIFT_PLL 2 and 32 * poll interval for SHIFT_PLL 4. This
gives good results without affecting the gain in normal conditions where
ntpd skips only up to seven consecutive samples.

John Stultz c7dcf87a68 time: Workaround gcc loop optimization that causes 64bit div errors
Early 4.3 versions of gcc apparently aggressively optimize the raw
time accumulation loop, replacing it with a divide.

On 32bit systems, this causes the following link errors:
	undefined reference to `__umoddi3'
	undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

The gcc issue has been fixed in 4.4 and greater.

This patch replaces the accumulation loop with a do_div, as suggested

Jason Wessel deda2e8196 timekeeping: Fix overflow in rawtime tv_nsec on 32 bit archs
The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap
and become negative which later causes looping problems in the
getrawmonotonic().  The edge case occurs when the system has slept for
a short period of time of ~2 seconds.

A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem:

ftrace time stamp: log
43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa
43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd
43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0
46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3
46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3

The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to
the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec.

A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it
to a timespec_t.

Arjan van de Ven af5ab277de clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew
Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
xtime_lock.

Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 83cd4fe27a sched: Change nohz idle load balancing logic to push model
In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is
still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing
on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz
balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing.
The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs
instead of the normal idle balance.

This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic:
* the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and
  wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on
  behalf of any of the idle CPUs.
* On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this
  periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU
  doing the timer broadcast.

Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu
doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle,
there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu
where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle
system).

And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load
balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended
(as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was
causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc.

For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers
from an idle cpu.  This is good for power-savings anyway.

John Stultz d7e81c269d clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interface
How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to
describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires
careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits.

Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much
easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that
function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length
assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently.

So this patch simplifies the registration process by having
clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration
function taking care of setting mult/shift.

This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource
driver.

Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs
longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can
keep track of the assumptions being made.

John Stultz 6a867a3955 time: Remove xtime_cache
With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
half a second off.

This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
xtime_cache related code.

This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
the edge case in update_wall_time().

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

John Stultz 830ec0458c time: Fix accumulation bug triggered by long delay.
The logarithmic accumulation done in the timekeeping has some overflow
protection that limits the max shift value. That means it will take
more then shift loops to accumulate all of the cycles. This causes
the shift decrement to underflow, which causes the loop to never exit.

The simplest fix would be simply to do a:
	if (shift)
		shift--;

However that is not optimal, as we know the cycle offset is larger
then the interval << shift, the above would make shift drop to zero,
then we would be spinning for quite awhile accumulating at interval
chunks at a time.

Instead, this patch only decreases shift if the offset is smaller
then cycle_interval << shift.  This makes sure we accumulate using
the largest chunks possible without overflowing tick_length, and limits
the number of iterations through the loop.

This issue was found and reported by Sonic Zhang, who also tested the fix.
Many thanks your explanation and testing!

Thomas Gleixner 7b7422a566 clocksource: Prevent potential kgdb dead lock
commit 0f8e8ef7 (clocksource: Simplify clocksource watchdog resume
logic) introduced a potential kgdb dead lock. When the kernel is
stopped by kgdb inside code which holds watchdog_lock then kgdb dead
locks in clocksource_resume_watchdog().

clocksource_resume_watchdog() is called from kbdg via
clocksource_touch_watchdog() to avoid that the clock source watchdog
marks TSC unstable after the kernel has been stopped.

Solve this by replacing spin_lock with a spin_trylock and just return
in case the lock is held. Not resetting the watchdog might result in
TSC becoming marked unstable, but that's an acceptable penalty for
using kgdb.

The timekeeping is anyway easily screwed up by kgdb when the system
uses either jiffies or a clock source which wraps in short intervals
(e.g. pm_timer wraps about every 4.6s), so we really do not have to
worry about that occasional TSC marked unstable side effect.

The second caller of clocksource_resume_watchdog() is
clocksource_resume(). The trylock is safe here as well because the
system is UP at this point, interrupts are disabled and nothing else
can hold watchdog_lock().

Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.

The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.

The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

Linus Torvalds 83f57a11d8 Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache"
This reverts commit 7bc7d63745, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:

 "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
  2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
  nanoseconds field.

  He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
  overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
  sub-nanosecond accumulated time.

  Details:

   * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
  sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
  This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
  sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
  Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
  that rounding.

   * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
  xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.

   * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
  since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
  complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
  steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
  known to work.

   * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
  timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
  accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
  Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
  non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted  (those
  patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
  directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
  xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.

  Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

Barry Song f065f41f48 timecompare: fix half-Y2K38 problem in timecompare_update while calculating offset
ktime will overflow from 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038,
ktime_add() in timecompare_update() will overflow a half earlier.  As a
result, wrong offset will be gotten, then cause some strange problems.

Thomas Gleixner bb6eddf767 clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug
Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.

If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.

On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.

Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.

Thomas Gleixner 41d2e49493 hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.

Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.

The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.
