I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version
of monotonic_clock().
While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a
single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values
occasionally went negative (time going backwards).
I found that in the following code:
this_offset = get_cycles_sync();
/* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */
--> offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz;
}
return base + offset;
the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though
this_offset > last_offset.
+Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com>
The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().
I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.

This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.
AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.
+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.
Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.
The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.
+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>
Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.
Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace
in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks
and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks.
The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder
and avoid false positives in many cases.
I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.

Lockdep can call the dwarf2 unwinder early, and the dwarf2 code
uses safe_smp_processor_id which tries to access the local APIC page.
But that doesn't work before the APIC code has set up its fixmap.
Check for this case and always return boot cpu then.

Introduce new function verify_bit_range(). Define two versions, one

were checking that the bitmap was consistent every time we allocated

incurs an unnecessary penalty on non debug builds.

panic)

and never be used again"
