2016-03-29timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_tFrederic Weisbecker2-32/+31
The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it. But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

2016-03-17timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64John Stultz2-6/+6
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

2016-03-02time: Add history to cross timestamp interface supporting slower devicesChristopher S. Hall1-1/+170
Another representative use case of time sync and the correlated clocksource (in addition to PTP noted above) is PTP synchronized audio. In a streaming application, as an example, samples will be sent and/or received by multiple devices with a presentation time that is in terms of the PTP master clock. Synchronizing the audio output on these devices requires correlating the audio clock with the PTP master clock. The more precise this correlation is, the better the audio quality (i.e. out of sync audio sounds bad). From an application standpoint, to correlate the PTP master clock with the audio device clock, the system clock is used as a intermediate timebase. The transforms such an application would perform are: System Clock <-> Audio clock System Clock <-> Network Device Clock [<-> PTP Master Clock] Modern Intel platforms can perform a more accurate cross timestamp in hardware (ART,audio device clock). The audio driver requires ART->system time transforms -- the same as required for the network driver. These platforms offload audio processing (including cross-timestamps) to a DSP which to ensure uninterrupted audio processing, communicates and response to the host only once every millsecond. As a result is takes up to a millisecond for the DSP to receive a request, the request is processed by the DSP, the audio output hardware is polled for completion, the result is copied into shared memory, and the host is notified. All of these operation occur on a millisecond cadence. This transaction requires about 2 ms, but under heavier workloads it may take up to 4 ms. Adding a history allows these slow devices the option of providing an ART value outside of the current interval. In this case, the callback provided is an accessor function for the previously obtained counter value. If get_system_device_crosststamp() receives a counter value previous to cycle_last, it consults the history provided as an argument in history_ref and interpolates the realtime and monotonic raw system time using the provided counter value. If there are any clock discontinuities, e.g. from calling settimeofday(), the monotonic raw time is interpolated in the usual way, but the realtime clock time is adjusted by scaling the monotonic raw adjustment. When an accessor function is used a history argument *must* be provided. The history is initialized using ktime_get_snapshot() and must be called before the counter values are read.

2016-03-02time: Add driver cross timestamp interface for higher precision time ↵Christopher S. Hall1-0/+56
synchronization ACKNOWLEDGMENT: cross timestamp code was developed by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>. It has changed considerably and any mistakes are mine. The precision with which events on multiple networked systems can be synchronized using, as an example, PTP (IEEE 1588, 802.1AS) is limited by the precision of the cross timestamps between the system clock and the device (timestamp) clock. Precision here is the degree of simultaneity when capturing the cross timestamp. Currently the PTP cross timestamp is captured in software using the PTP device driver ioctl PTP_SYS_OFFSET. Reads of the device clock are interleaved with reads of the realtime clock. At best, the precision of this cross timestamp is on the order of several microseconds due to software latencies. Sub-microsecond precision is required for industrial control and some media applications. To achieve this level of precision hardware supported cross timestamping is needed. The function get_device_system_crosstimestamp() allows device drivers to return a cross timestamp with system time properly scaled to nanoseconds. The realtime value is needed to discipline that clock using PTP and the monotonic raw value is used for applications that don't require a "real" time, but need an unadjusted clock time. The get_device_system_crosstimestamp() code calls back into the driver to ensure that the system counter is within the current timekeeping update interval. Modern Intel hardware provides an Always Running Timer (ART) which is exactly related to TSC through a known frequency ratio. The ART is routed to devices on the system and is used to precisely and simultaneously capture the device clock with the ART.

2016-03-02time: Remove duplicated code in ktime_get_raw_and_real()Christopher S. Hall1-38/+2
The code in ktime_get_snapshot() is a superset of the code in ktime_get_raw_and_real() code. Further, ktime_get_raw_and_real() is called only by the PPS code, pps_get_ts(). Consolidate the pps_get_ts() code into a single function calling ktime_get_snapshot() and eliminate ktime_get_raw_and_real(). A side effect of this is that the raw and real results of pps_get_ts() correspond to exactly the same clock cycle. Previously these values represented separate reads of the system clock.

Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify sched tick dependency, migrate sched to the new mask. Everytime a task is enqueued or dequeued, we evaluate the state of the tick dependency on top of the policy of the tasks in the runqueue, by order of priority: SCHED_DEADLINE: Need the tick in order to periodically check for runtime SCHED_FIFO : Don't need the tick (no round-robin) SCHED_RR : Need the tick if more than 1 task of the same priority for round robin (simplified with checking if more than one SCHED_RR task no matter what priority). SCHED_NORMAL : Need the tick if more than 1 task for round-robin. We could optimize that further with one flag per sched policy on the tick dependency mask and perform only the checks relevant to the policy concerned by an enqueue/dequeue operation. Since the checks aren't based on the current task anymore, we could get rid of the task switch hook but it's still needed for posix cpu timers.

2016-03-02nohz: New tick dependency maskFrederic Weisbecker2-7/+144
The tick dependency is evaluated on every IRQ and context switch. This consists is a batch of checks which determine whether it is safe to stop the tick or not. These checks are often split in many details: posix cpu timers, scheduler, sched clock, perf events.... each of which are made of smaller details: posix cpu timer involves checking process wide timers then thread wide timers. Perf involves checking freq events then more per cpu details. Checking these informations asynchronously every time we update the full dynticks state bring avoidable overhead and a messy layout. Let's introduce instead tick dependency masks: one for system wide dependency (unstable sched clock, freq based perf events), one for CPU wide dependency (sched, throttling perf events), and task/signal level dependencies (posix cpu timers). The subsystems are responsible for setting and clearing their dependency through a set of APIs that will take care of concurrent dependency mask modifications and kick targets to restart the relevant CPU tick whenever needed. This new dependency engine stays beside the old one until all subsystems having a tick dependency are converted to it.

2016-02-29Handle ISO 8601 leap seconds and encodings of midnight in mktime64()David Howells1-1/+8
Handle the following ISO 8601 features in mktime64(): (1) Leap seconds. Leap seconds are indicated by the seconds parameter being the value 60. Handle this by treating it the same as 00 of the following minute. It has been pointed out that a minute may contain two leap seconds. However, pending discussion of what that looks like and how to handle it, I'm not going to concern myself with it. (2) Alternate encodings of midnight. Two different encodings of midnight are permitted - 00:00:00 and 24:00:00 - the first is midnight today and the second is midnight tomorrow and is exactly equivalent to the first with tomorrow's date. As it happens, we don't actually need to change mktime64() to handle either of these - just comment them as valid parameters. These facility will be used by the X.509 parser. Doing it in mktime64() makes the policy common to the whole kernel and easier to find.

2016-01-27hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAWMarc Zyngier1-1/+10
The KVM/ARM timer implementation arms a hrtimer when a vcpu is blocked (usually because it is waiting for an interrupt) while its timer is going to kick in the future. It is essential that this timer doesn't get adjusted, or the guest will end up being woken-up at the wrong time (NTP running on the host seems to confuse the hell out of some guests). In order to allow this, let's add CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support to hrtimer (it is so far only supported for posix timers). It also has the (limited) benefit of fixing de0421d53bfb ("mac80211_hwsim: shuffle code to prepare for dynamic radios"), which already uses this functionnality without realizing wasn't implemented (just being lucky...).

If CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is enabled we add a jiffie to the relative timeout to prevent short sleeps, but we do not account for that in interfaces which retrieve the remaining time. Helge observed that timerfd can return a remaining time larger than the relative timeout. That's not expected and breaks userland test programs. Store the information that the timer was armed relative and provide functions to adjust the remaining time. To avoid bloating the hrtimer struct make state a u8, which as a bonus results in better code on x86 at least.

The posix_clock_poll function is supposed to return a bit mask of POLLxxx values. However, in case the hardware has disappeared (due to hot plugging for example) this code returns -ENODEV in a futile attempt to throw an error at the file descriptor level. The kernel's file_operations interface does not accept such error codes from the poll method. Instead, this function aught to return POLLERR. The value -ENODEV does, in fact, contain the POLLERR bit (and almost all the other POLLxxx bits as well), but only by chance. This patch fixes code to return a proper bit mask.

The clocksource validation which makes sure that the newly read value is not smaller than the last value only works if the clocksource mask is 64bit, i.e. the counter is 64bit wide. But we want to use that mechanism also for clocksources which are less than 64bit wide. So instead of checking whether bit 63 is set, we check whether the most significant bit of the clocksource mask is set in the delta result. If it is set, we return 0.

2015-12-16timekeeping: Cap adjustments so they don't exceed the maxadj valueJohn Stultz1-4/+27
Thus its been occasionally noted that users have seen confusing warnings like: Adjusting tsc more than 11% (5941981 vs 7759439) We try to limit the maximum total adjustment to 11% (10% tick adjustment + 0.5% frequency adjustment). But this is done by bounding the requested adjustment values, and the internal steering that is done by tracking the error from what was requested and what was applied, does not have any such limits. This is usually not problematic, but in some cases has a risk that an adjustment could cause the clocksource mult value to overflow, so its an indication things are outside of what is expected. It ends up most of the reports of this 11% warning are on systems using chrony, which utilizes the adjtimex() ADJ_TICK interface (which allows a +-10% adjustment). The original rational for ADJ_TICK unclear to me but my assumption it was originally added to allow broken systems to get a big constant correction at boot (see adjtimex userspace package for an example) which would allow the system to work w/ ntpd's 0.5% adjustment limit. Chrony uses ADJ_TICK to make very aggressive short term corrections (usually right at startup). Which push us close enough to the max bound that a few late ticks can cause the internal steering to push past the max adjust value (tripping the warning). Thus this patch adds some extra logic to enforce the max adjustment cap in the internal steering. Note: This has the potential to slow corrections when the ADJ_TICK value is furthest away from the default value. So it would be good to get some testing from folks using chrony, to make sure we don't cause any troubles there.
