We used to store the wall-to-monotonic offset and the realtime base. It's faster to precompute the monotonic base. This is about a 3% speedup on Sandy Bridge for CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

Since commit 7dffa3c6 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.

While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results. Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much value in refining it. So for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we should skip the refined tsc algorithm. We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there own TSC calibration methods.

Richard Weinberger noticed that on some RTC hardware that doesn't support UIE mode, due to coarse granular alarms (like 1minute resolution), the current virtualized RTC support doesn't properly error out when UIE is enabled. Instead the current code queues an alarm for the next second, but it won't fire until up to a miniute later. This patch provides a generic way to flag this sort of hardware and fixes the issue on the mpc5121 where Richard noticed the problem.

When switching from a vsyscall capable to a non-vsyscall capable clocksource, there was a small race, where the last vsyscall gettimeofday before the switch might return a invalid time value using the new non-vsyscall enabled clocksource values after the switch is complete. This is due to the vsyscall code checking the vclock_mode once outside of the seqcount protected section. After it reads the vclock mode, it doesn't re-check that the sampled clock data that is obtained in the seqcount critical section still matches. The fix is to sample vclock_mode inside the protected section, and as long as it isn't VCLOCK_NONE, return the calculated value. If it has changed and is now VCLOCK_NONE, fall back to the syscall gettime calculation. v2: * Cleanup checks as suggested by tglx * Also fix same issue present in gettimeofday path CC: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

On SMP-capable kernels (e.g. generic distro kernel) the cs5535-clockevt driver loads but is not actually used. Setting cpumask to cpu_all_mask works for UP-only kernels, but if compiled for SMP - though still running on the same UP hardware - kernel/time/tick-common.c:tick_check_new_device() reads this as "non-cpu-local" and silently ignores the device. If we leave cpumask unset clockevents_register_device() will initialize it and the cs5535-clockevt driver will be used no matter how the kernel was compiled. Should anyone ever manage to stick a CS553x in an SMP system (is this even possible?) then a warning will be printed. This is fine as the cs5535-clockevt driver was never written/tested for SMP. If bisecting led you here this patch may have exposed a pre-existing MFGPT problem. Configure for UP-only and re-check.

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.

idle_cpu() is called on irq entry to guess if we need to call tick_check_idle(). This way we can catch up with jiffies if the tick was stopped, stop accounting idle time during the interrupt and maintain the sched clock if it is unstable. But if we are going to exit the idle loop to schedule a new task (ie: if we have a task in the runqueue or a remotely enqueued ttwu to perform), the idle_cpu() check will return 0 such that we miss the call to tick_check_idle() for all interrupts happening before we schedule the new task. As a result these interrupts and the softirqs coming along may deal with stale jiffies values, bad sched clock values, and won't substract their time from the idle time accounting. Fix this with using is_idle_task() instead that strictly checks that we are running the idle task, without caring about the fact we are going to schedule a task soon.

ts->inidle is set by tick_nohz_idle_enter() and unset by tick_nohz_idle_exit(). However these two calls are assumed to be always paired. This means that by the time we call tick_nohz_idle_exit(), ts->inidle is supposed to be always 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).

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.
