2018-04-26Revert: Unify CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIMEThomas Gleixner
Revert commits 92af4dcb4e1c ("tracing: Unify the "boot" and "mono" tracing clocks") 127bfa5f4342 ("hrtimer: Unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior") 7250a4047aa6 ("posix-timers: Unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior") d6c7270e913d ("timekeeping: Remove boot time specific code") f2d6fdbfd238 ("Input: Evdev - unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior") d6ed449afdb3 ("timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock") 72199320d49d ("timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock") As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change. As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

2018-03-13timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clockThomas Gleixner
The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and jiffies have never been advanced after resume. At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read time since boot. Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies. As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume before the tick is restarted, In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time spent in suspend. The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend. There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the (unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse. There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that in a detectable fashion.

2018-01-16hrtimer: Unify remote enqueue handlingAnna-Maria Gleixner
hrtimer_reprogram() is conditionally invoked from hrtimer_start_range_ns() when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true. In the !hres_active case there is a special condition for the nohz_active case: If the newly enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a remote CPU then the remote CPU needs to be notified and woken up from a NOHZ idle sleep to take the new first expiring timer into account. Previous changes have already established the prerequisites to make the remote enqueue behaviour the same whether high resolution mode is active or not: If the to be enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a remote CPU, then it cannot be enqueued there. This was done for the high resolution mode because there is no way to access the remote CPU timer hardware. The same is true for NOHZ, but was handled differently by unconditionally enqueuing the timer and waking up the remote CPU so it can reprogram its timer. Again there is no compelling reason for this difference. hrtimer_check_target(), which makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision is already unconditional, but not yet functional because nothing updates hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next in the !hres_active case. To unify this the following changes are required: 1) Make the store of the new first expiry time unconditonal in hrtimer_reprogram() and check __hrtimer_hres_active() before proceeding to the actual hardware access. This check also lets the compiler eliminate the rest of the function in case of CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n. 2) Invoke hrtimer_reprogram() unconditionally from hrtimer_start_range_ns() 3) Remove the remote wakeup special case for the !high_res && nohz_active case. Confine the timers_nohz_active static key to timer.c which is the only user now.

2018-01-16hrtimer: Optimize the hrtimer code by using static keys for ↵Thomas Gleixner
migration_enable/nohz_active The hrtimer_cpu_base::migration_enable and ::nohz_active fields were originally introduced to avoid accessing global variables for these decisions. Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch, which can be avoided by using static keys. Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical case of high performance networking which tends to disable the timer migration functionality. No change in functionality.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2016-07-07timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possibleThomas Gleixner
The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels. That results in coarser granularity. To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock whenever possible.

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

2015-04-22tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluationThomas Gleixner
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

Use the new tick_suspend/resume_local() and get rid of the homebrewn implementation of these in the ARM bL switcher. The check for the cpumask is completely pointless. There is no harm to suspend a per cpu tick device unconditionally. If that's a real issue then we fix it proper at the core level and not with some completely undocumented hacks in some random core code.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism, it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit calls instead of this monstrosity. Split out the suspend/resume() calls and invoke them directly from the call sites.

2015-03-27clockevents: Handle tick device's resume separatelyViresh Kumar
Upcoming patch will redefine possible states of a clockevent device. The RESUME mode is a special case only for tick's clockevent devices. In future it can be replaced by ->resume() callback already available for clockevent devices. Lets handle it separately so that clockevents_set_mode() only handles states valid across all devices.

2014-09-13nohz: Move nohz full init call to tick initFrederic Weisbecker
This way we unbloat a bit main.c and more importantly we initialize nohz full after init_IRQ(). This dependency will be needed in further patches because nohz full needs irq work to raise its own IRQ. Information about the support for this ability on ARM64 is obtained on init_IRQ() which initialize the pointer to __smp_call_function. Since tick_init() is called right after init_IRQ(), this is a good place to call tick_nohz_init() and prepare for that dependency.

2014-02-07time: Change the return type of clockevents_notify() to integerPreeti U Murthy
The broadcast framework can potentially be made use of by archs which do not have an external clock device as well. Then, it is required that one of the CPUs need to handle the broadcasting of wakeup IPIs to the CPUs in deep idle. As a result its local timers should remain functional all the time. For such a CPU, the BROADCAST_ENTER notification has to fail indicating that its clock device cannot be shutdown. To make way for this support, change the return type of tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() and hence clockevents_notify() to indicate such scenarios.

2013-12-23tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the jiffies lockJohn Stultz
Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time() while holding the jiffies lock. Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer(). This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed() in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set() call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock to be acquired.

2011-09-08clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurableMartin Schwidefsky
The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an attribute of the clockevents device. In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

2008-10-17NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter()Thomas Gleixner
We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case. But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become stale: idle() tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer) halt() interrupt jiffies updated from irq_enter() interrupt handler softirq function 1 runs 20ms softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value jiffies updated from irq_exit() timer wheel has now an already expired timer (the one added in function 2) timer fires and timer softirq runs This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself. To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from idle when need_resched() is set.
