the slack estimator used unsigned math; however for very short delay it's possible that by the time you calculate the timeout, it's already passed and you get a negative time/slack... in an unsigned variable... which then gets turned into a 100 msec delay rather than zero. This patch fixes this by using a signed typee in the right places. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

this patch adds a _range version of hrtimer_start() so that range timers can be created; the hrtimer_start() function is just a wrapper around this. In addition, hrtimer_start_expires() will now preserve existing ranges. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

in some randconfig configurations, hrtimers are used even though the hrtimer config if off; and it broke the build due to some of the new functions being on the wrong side of the ifdef. This patch moves the functions to the other side of the ifdef, fixing the build bug. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

This patch makes the select() and poll() hrtimers use the new range feature and settings from the task struct. In addition, this includes the estimate_accuracy() function that Linus posted to lkml, but changed entirely based on other peoples lkml feedback.

We want to be able to control the default "rounding" that is used by select() and poll() and friends. This is a per process property (so that we can have a "nice" like program to start certain programs with a looser or stricter rounding) that can be set/get via a prctl(). For this purpose, a field called "timer_slack_ns" is added to the task struct. In addition, a field called "default_timer_slack"ns" is added so that tasks easily can temporarily to a more/less accurate slack and then back to the default. The default value of the slack is set to 50 usec; this is significantly less than 2.6.27's average select() and poll() timing error but still allows the kernel to group timers somewhat to preserve power behavior. Applications and admins can override this via the prctl() Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points 1) the soft expire point 2) the hard expire point the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point, and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the future.

In order to be able to turn hrtimers into range based, we need to provide accessor functions for getting to the "expires" ktime_t member of the struct hrtimer. This patch adds a set of accessors for this purpose: * hrtimer_set_expires * hrtimer_set_expires_tv64 * hrtimer_add_expires * hrtimer_add_expires_ns * hrtimer_get_expires * hrtimer_get_expires_tv64 * hrtimer_get_expires_ns * hrtimer_expires_remaining * hrtimer_start_expires No users of these new accessors are added yet; these follow in later patches. Hopefully this patch can even go into 2.6.27-rc so that the conversions will not have a bottleneck in -next Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

With lots of help, input and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner This patch switches select() and poll() over to hrtimers. The core of the patch is replacing the "s64 timeout" with a "struct timespec end_time" in all the plumbing. But most of the diffstat comes from using the just introduced helpers: poll_select_set_timeout poll_select_copy_remaining timespec_add_safe which make manipulating the timespec easier and less error-prone.

with hrtimer poll/select, the signal restart data no longer is a single long representing a jiffies count, but it becomes a second/nanosecond pair that also needs to encode if there was a timeout at all or not.

This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll: poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time. This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various, common, sanity checks. poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).

For the select() rework, it's important to be able to add timespec structures in an overflow-safe manner.

Fix regression tracked as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11361 and caused by commit f735a2a1 ("[netdrvr] forcedeth: setup wake-on-lan before shutting down") that makes network adapters integrated into the NVidia MCP55 chipsets fail to work in kexeced kernels. The problem appears to be that if the adapter is put into D3_hot during ->shutdown(), it cannot be brought back into D0 after kexec (ref. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121900062814967&w=4). Therefore, only put forcedeth into D3 during ->shutdown() if the system is to be powered off. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite the fixes in commit b27f03d4. The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.
