Previously, the assignment to the local variable 'now' took place
before the for loop. The loop is unconditional so it will be entered
at least once. The variable 'now' is reassigned in the loop and is not
used before reassigning. Therefore, the assignment before the loop is
unnecessary and can be removed.

Pull x86 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"These updates are related to TSC handling:
- Support platforms which have synchronized TSCs but the boot CPU has

This applies to HPE/SGI UV platforms where the platform firmware
uses TSC_ADJUST to ensure TSC synchronization across a huge number
of sockets, but due to power on timings the boot CPU cannot be
guaranteed to have a zero TSC_ADJUST register value.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Now that all affected platforms have a microcode update; and we check
this and disable TSC_DEADLINE and print a microcode revision update
error if its too old, we can remove the TSC_ADJUST clamp.
This should help with systems where the second socket runs ahead of
the first socket and needs a negative adjustment. In this case we'd
hit the 0 clamp and give up for not achieving synchronization.

When the TSC is marked reliable then the synchronization check is skipped,
but that also skips the TSC ADJUST sanitizing code. So on a machine with a

Let the TSC adjust sanitizing code run unconditionally and just skip the
expensive synchronization checks when TSC is marked reliable.

Adjust value 0x80000000 and other values larger than that render the TSC
deadline timer disfunctional.
We have not yet any information about this from Intel, but experimentation
clearly proves that this is a 32/64 bit and sign extension issue.
If adjust values larger than that are actually required, which might be the
case for physical CPU hotplug, then we need to disable the deadline timer
on the affected package/CPUs and use the local APIC timer instead.
That requires some surgery in the APIC setup code, so we just limit the
ADJUST register value into the known to work range for now and revisit this
when Intel comes forth with proper information.

Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which
completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with
random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the
TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails.
Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust
the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine
just stops booting.
Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to
the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an
interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer.
This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware
wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other
systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer.
While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which
moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the
described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps
the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for
the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but
despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised
immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies
silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed.
Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as
expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the
adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis.
Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and
the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to
wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT!
To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures:
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0
- Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative
TSC_ADJUST values.

If the first CPU of a package comes online, it is necessary to test whether
the TSC is in sync with a CPU on some other package. When a deviation is
observed (time going backwards between the two CPUs) the TSC is marked
unstable, which is a problem on large machines as they have to fall back to
the HPET clocksource, which is insanely slow.
It has been attempted to compensate the TSC by adding the offset to the TSC
and writing it back some time ago, but this never was merged because it did
not turn out to be stable, especially not on older systems.
Modern systems have become more stable in that regard and the TSC_ADJUST
MSR allows us to compensate for the time deviation in a sane way. If it's
available allow up to three synchronization runs and if a time warp is
detected the starting CPU can compensate the time warp via the TSC_ADJUST
MSR and retry. If the third run still shows a deviation or when random time
warps are detected the test terminally fails.

When entering idle, it's a good oportunity to verify that the TSC_ADJUST
MSR has not been tampered with (BIOS hiding SMM cycles). If tampering is
detected, emit a warning and restore it to the previous value.
This is especially important for machines, which mark the TSC reliable
because there is no watchdog clocksource available (SoCs).
This is not sufficient for HPC (NOHZ_FULL) situations where a CPU never
goes idle, but adding a timer to do the check periodically is not an option
either. On a machine, which has this issue, the check triggeres right
during boot, so there is a decent chance that the sysadmin will notice.
Rate limit the check to once per second and warn only once per cpu.

The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful
in a two aspects:
1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the
cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at
SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the
point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and
eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no
watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and
acted upon.
2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST
value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization
check fails.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes
online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the
same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests
because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU
in a package.
In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value
even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is
not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has
to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running
packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs
which got powered earlier.
A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs
accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't
help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages,
but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later.
The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting
CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same
package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference
value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

on TSC-less systems. Replace rdtsc_barrier(); get_cycles() with
rdtsc_ordered().
While we're at it, make the somewhat more dangerous change of
removing barrier_before_rdtsc after RDTSC in the TSC warp check
code. This should be okay, though -- the vDSO TSC code doesn't
have that barrier, so, if removing the barrier from the warp
check would cause us to detect a warp that we otherwise wouldn't
detect, then we have a genuine bug.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

For each logical CPU that is coming online, we spend 20msec for
checking the TSC synchronization. And as this is done
sequentially for each logical CPU boot, this time gets added up
depending on the number of logical CPU's supported by the
platform.
Minimize this by using the socket topology information.
If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its
core-siblings online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the
TSC-warp measurement loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec
will be used, as we have some information about this socket
already (and this information grows as we have more and more
logical-siblings in that socket).
Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the
other core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed
the sync test. But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can
potentially be modified wrongly by the bios before the OS boot,
TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able to catch such
errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the cores
in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time.
For example, with this modification, time spent in TSC sync
checks on a 4 socket 10-core with HT system gets reduced from
1580msec to 212msec.

tsc=reliable boot parameter is supposed to skip all the TSC
stablility checks during boot time.
On a 8-socket system where we want to run an experiment with the
"tsc=reliable" boot option, TSC synchronization checks are not
getting skipped and marking the TSC as not stable.
Check for tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is set via
tsc=reliable or for platforms supporting synthetic TSC_RELIABLE
feature bit etc) and when set, skip the TSC synchronization
tests during boot.

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message
Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable.
once for every non-boot CPU.
This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:
$ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc
63 567 4221
There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is
just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a
printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies.
Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC
offset is set by software, it's not perfect. So, the TSC
synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a
clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the
guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to
skip the TSC sync checks.
Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we
still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which
has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take
care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.
