Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field. I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf as well. Signed-off-by:

Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel. Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances: - boot_tvec_base That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no other purpose. With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the per cpu base. Before: text data bss dec hex filename 17491 9201 4160 30852 7884 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o - Overloading the base pointer with various flags The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable, irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling with the base pointer. As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list, which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs. This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well. We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate big endian bitfields. Signed-off-by: -

The FIFO guarantee is only there if two timers are queued into the same bucket at the same jiffie on the same cpu: - The slack value depends on the delta between expiry and enqueue time, so the resulting expiry time can be different for timers which are queued in different jiffies. - Timers which are queued into the secondary array end up after a later queued timer which was queued into the primary array due to cascading. - Timers can end up on different cpus due to the NOHZ target moving around. Obviously there is no guarantee of expiry ordering between cpus. So anything which relies on FIFO behaviour of the timer wheel is broken already. This is a preparatory patch for converting the timer wheel to hlist which reduces the memory foot print of the wheel by 50%. It's a seperate patch so any (unlikely to happen) regression caused by this can be identified clearly. Signed-off-by:

catchup_timer_jiffies() has been applied blindly to several functions without looking for possible better ways to do it. 1) internal_add_timer() Move the update to base->all_timers before we actually insert the timer into the wheel. 2) detach_if_pending() Again the update to base->all_timers allows us to explicitely do the timer_jiffies update in place, if this was the last timer which got removed. 3) __run_timers() We only check on entry, which is silly, because base->timer_jiffies can be behind - especially on NOHZ kernels - and if there is a single deferrable timer somewhere between base->timer_jiffies and jiffies we expire it and then loop until base->timer_jiffies == jiffies. Move it into the loop. Signed-off-by:

Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free. Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running. Suggested-by:

Introduce raw_write_seqcount_barrier(), a new construct that can be used to provide write barrier semantics in seqcount read loops instead of the usual consistency guarantee. raw_write_seqcount_barier() is equivalent to: raw_write_seqcount_begin(); raw_write_seqcount_end(); But avoids issueing two back-to-back smp_wmb() instructions. This construct works because the read side will 'stall' when observing odd values. This means that -- referring to the example in the comment below -- even though there is no (matching) read barrier between the loads of X and Y, we cannot observe !x && !y, because: - if we observe Y == false we must observe the first sequence increment, which makes us loop, until - we observe !(seq & 1) -- the second sequence increment -- at which time we must also observe T == true.

I'll shortly be introducing another seqcount primitive that's useful to provide ordering semantics and would like to use the write_seqcount_barrier() name for that. Seeing how there's only one user of the current primitive, lets rename it to invalidate, as that appears what its doing. While there, employ lockdep_assert_held() instead of assert_spin_locked() to not generate debug code for regular kernels. Signed-off-by:

A queued hrtimer that gets restarted (hrtimer_start*() while hrtimer_is_queued()) will briefly appear as unqueued/inactive, even though the timer has always been active, we just moved it. Close this hole by preserving timer->state in hrtimer_start_range_ns()'s remove_hrtimer() call. Reported-by:

I do not understand HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE. Unless I am totally confused it looks buggy and simply unneeded. migrate_hrtimer_list() sets it to keep hrtimer_active() == T, but this is not enough: this can fool, say, hrtimer_is_queued() in dequeue_signal(). Can't migrate_hrtimer_list() simply use HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED? This fixes the race and we can kill STATE_MIGRATE. Signed-off-by:

In 0c4a5fc9 (Add leap-second timer edge testing to leap-a-day.c), we added a timer to the test which checks to make sure timers near the leapsecond edge behave correctly. However, the output generated from the timer uses ctime_r, which isn't async-signal safe, and should that signal land while the main test is using ctime_r to print its output, its possible for the test to deadlock on glibc internal locks. Thus this patch reworks the output to avoid using ctime_r in the signal handler. Signed-off-by:

The fix in d1518326 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete. The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow. Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values, then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over, then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state change on the next update. To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to the real-timekeeper. This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the fast-timekeepers as well. Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this fix. Reported-by:

CLOCK_EVT_MODE_* macros are present for backward compatibility (as most of the drivers are still using old ->set_mode() interface). These macro's shouldn't be used anymore in code, that is common to both driver interfaces, i.e. ->set_mode() and ->set_state_*(). Drivers implementing ->set_state_*() interface, which have their clkevt->mode set to 0 (clkevt device structures are normally globally defined), will not participate in suspend/resume as they will always be marked as UNUSED. Fix this by checking state of the clockevent device instead of mode, which is updated for both the interfaces. Fixes: ac34ad27 ("clockevents: Do not suspend/resume if unused") Signed-off-by:

Prarit reported an issue w/ timers around the leapsecond, where a timer set for Midnight UTC (00:00:00) might fire a second early right before the leapsecond (23:59:60 - though it appears as a repeated 23:59:59) is applied. So I've updated the leap-a-day.c test to integrate a similar test, where we set a timer and check if it triggers at the right time, and if the ntp state transition is managed properly. Reported-by:

Since the leapsecond is applied at tick-time, this means there is a small window of time at the start of a leap-second where we cross into the next second before applying the leap. This patch modified adjtimex so that the leap-second is applied on the second edge. Providing more correct leapsecond behavior. This does make it so that adjtimex()'s returned time values can be inconsistent with time values read from gettimeofday() or clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,...) for a brief period of one tick at the leapsecond. However, those other interfaces do not provide the TIME_OOP time_state return that adjtimex() provides, which allows the leapsecond to be properly represented. They instead only see a time discontinuity, and cannot tell the first 23:59:59 from the repeated 23:59:59 leap second. This seems like a reasonable tradeoff given clock_gettime() / gettimeofday() cannot properly represent a leapsecond, and users likely care more about performance, while folks who are using adjtimex() more likely care about leap-second correctness.

Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result, the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the second edge. This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based, but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance overhead. However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early, since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping timer, which then applies the leapsecond. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful, since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.) However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing. So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early, this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer core from expiring timers too early. This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths. Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance overhead. While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually. Originally-suggested-by:

It was reported that 868a3e91 (hrtimer: Make offset update smarter) was causing timer problems after suspend/resume. The problem with that change is the modification to clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_update is done prior to mirroring the time state to the shadow-timekeeper. Thus the next time we do update_wall_time() the updated sequence is overwritten by whats in the shadow copy. This patch moves the shadow-timekeeper mirroring to the end of the function, after all updates have been made, so all data is kept in sync. (This patch also affects the update_fast_timekeeper calls which were also problematically done prior to the mirroring). Reported-and-tested-by:
