Pull timekeeping changes from John Stultz:

 Main changes are the initial steps of Nicoli's work to make the clockevent
 timers be corrected for NTP adjustments. Then a few smaller fixes that
 I've queued, and adding Stephen Boyd to the maintainers list for
 timekeeping.

On systems with a large number of CPUs, running sysrq-<q> can cause
watchdog timeouts.  There are two slow sections of code in the sysrq-<q>
path in timer_list.c.

1. print_active_timers() - This function is called by print_cpu() and
   contains a slow goto loop.  On a machine with hundreds of CPUs, this
   loop took approximately 100ms for the first CPU in a NUMA node.
   (Subsequent CPUs in the same node ran much quicker.)  The total time
   to print all of the CPUs is ultimately long enough to trigger the
   soft lockup watchdog.

2. print_tickdevice() - This function outputs a large amount of textual
   information.  This function also took approximately 100ms per CPU.

Since sysrq-<q> is not a performance critical path, there should be no
harm in touching the nmi watchdog in both slow sections above.  Touching
it in just one location was insufficient on systems with hundreds of
CPUs as occasional timeouts were still observed during testing.

This issue was observed on an Oracle T7 machine with 128 CPUs, but I
anticipate it may affect other systems with similarly large numbers of
CPUs.

The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock
wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register()
after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap
timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock
already wrapped.

On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than
the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.

A clockevent device's rate should be configured before or at registration
and changed afterwards through clockevents_update_freq() only.

For the configuration at registration, we already have
clockevents_config_and_register().

Right now, there are no clockevents_config() users outside of the
clockevents core.

To mitigiate the risk of drivers errorneously reconfiguring their rates
through clockevents_config() *after* device registration, make
clockevents_config() static.

With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented
in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate
change of a clockevent device made after its registration.

Currently, h8300_timer8 violates this requirement in that it registers its
clockevent device with the correct rate, but resets its ->mult and ->rate
values in timer8_clock_event_start(), called from its ->set_state_oneshot()
function.

It seems like
  commit 4633f4ca ("clocksource/drivers/h8300: Cleanup startup and
                        remove module code."),
which introduced the rate initialization at registration, missed to remove
the manual setting of ->mult and ->shift from timer8_clock_event_start().

With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented

change of a clockevent device made after its registration.

Currently, em_sti violates this requirement in that it registers its
clockevent device with a dummy rate and sets its final rate through

This patch moves the setting of the clockevent device's rate to its

I checked all current em_sti users in arch/arm/mach-shmobile and right now,
none of them changes any rate in any clock tree relevant to em_sti after
their respective time_init(). Since all em_sti instances are created after
time_init(), none of them should ever observe any clock rate changes.

- Determine the ->rate value in em_sti_probe() at device probing rather

Currently, the em_sti driver prepares and enables the needed clock in
em_sti_enable(), potentially called through its clockevent device's
->set_state_oneshot().

However, the clk_prepare() step may sleep whereas tick_program_event() and
thus, ->set_state_oneshot(), can be called in atomic context.

Split the clk_prepare_enable() in em_sti_enable() into two steps:
- prepare the clock at device probing via clk_prepare()
- and enable it in em_sti_enable() via clk_enable().
Slightly reorder resource initialization in em_sti_probe() in order to
facilitate error handling in later patches.

With the upcoming NTP correction related rate adjustments to be implemented
in the clockevents core, the latter needs to get informed about every rate
change of a clockevent device made after its registration.

Currently, sh_tmu violates this requirement in that it registers its
clockevent device with a dummy rate and sets its final rate through
clockevents_config() called from its ->set_state_oneshot() and
->set_state_periodic() functions respectively.

This patch moves the setting of the clockevent device's rate to its
registration.

Note that there has been some back and forth regarding this question with
respect to the clocksource also provided by this driver:
  commit 66f49121 ("clocksource: sh_tmu: compute mult and shift before
                        registration")
moves the rate determination from the clocksource's ->enable() function to
before its registration. OTOH, the later
  commit 0aeac458 ("clocksource: sh_tmu: __clocksource_updatefreq_hz()
                        update")
basically reverts this, saying
  "Without this patch the old code uses clocksource_register() together
   with a hack that assumes a never changing clock rate."

However, I checked all current sh_tmu users in arch/sh as well as in
arch/arm/mach-shmobile carefully and right now, none of them changes any
rate in any clock tree relevant to sh_tmu after their respective
time_init(). Since all sh_tmu instances are created after time_init(), none
of them should ever observe any clock rate changes.

What's more, both, a clocksource as well as a clockevent device, can
immediately get selected for use at their registration and thus, enabled
at this point already. So it's probably safer to assume a "never changing
clock rate" here.

- Move the struct sh_tmu_channel's ->rate member to struct sh_tmu_device:
  it's a property of the underlying clock which is in turn specific to
  the sh_tmu_device.
- Determine the ->rate value in sh_tmu_setup() at device probing rather

This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
actually problematic afaik.

I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
it but not bring the machine down.

Instead of putting cmd_time_out under ../target/core/user_0/foo/control,

In order to do this, tcmu_module_init() has been updated to create
a local struct configfs_attribute **tcmu_attrs, that is based upon
the existing passthrough_attrib_attrs along with the new cmd_time_out
attribute.  Once **tcm_attrs has been setup, go ahead and point
it at tcmu_ops->tb_dev_attrib_attrs so it's picked up by target-core.

Also following MNC's previous change, ->cmd_time_out is stored in
milliseconds but exposed via configfs in seconds.  Also, note this

and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
not get updated with the second calls state.

2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
completion that will never be called.

To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.

Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple
threads call core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt at the same time. I think
we need a mutex in target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store.

If tcmu-runner is processing a STPG and needs to change the kernel's
ALUA state then we cannot use the same work queue for task management
requests and ALUA transitions, because we could deadlock. The problem
occurs when a STPG times out before tcmu-runner is able to
call into target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store->
core_alua_do_port_transition -> core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt ->
queue_work. In this case, the tmr is on the work queue waiting for
the STPG to complete, but the STPG transition is now queued behind
the waiting tmr.

Note:
This bug will also be fixed by this patch:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14560.html
which switches the tmr code to use the system workqueues.

For both, I am not sure if we need a dedicated workqueue since
it is not a performance path and I do not think we need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
to make forward progress to free up memory like the block layer does.

We do not setup the LU group for pscsi devices, so if you write
a state to alua_access_state that will cause a transition you will
get a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch will fail attempts to try and transition the path
for backend devices that set the TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA
flag.
