2011-06-21time: Avoid accumulating time drift in suspend/resumeJohn Stultz
Because the read_persistent_clock interface is usually backed by only a second granular interface, each time we read from the persistent clock for suspend/resume, we introduce a half second (on average) of error. In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the persistent clock and the system CLOCK_REALTIME. If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we do no correction and update the delta. Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to restore the previous offset from the persistent clock. However, without this patch, since each read could cause almost a full second worth of error, its possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the suspend/resume cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by the compensation. Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to accumulate.

2011-06-21alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is presentJohn Stultz
Toralf Förster and Richard Weinberger noted that if there is no RTC device, the alarm timers core prints out an annoying "ALARM timers will not wake from suspend" message. This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however the issue still remains: The original idea was to support alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the system didn't go into suspend. However, after further consideration, communicating to the application that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better solution. So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system. Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create, and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.

2011-06-21alarmtimers: Handle late rtc module loadingJohn Stultz
The alarmtimers code currently picks a rtc device to use at late init time. However, if your rtc driver is loaded as a module, it may be registered after the alarmtimers late init code, leaving the alarmtimers nonfunctional. This patch moves the the rtcdevice selection to when we actually try to use it, allowing us to make use of rtc modules that may have been loaded at any point since bootup.

2011-06-16clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruptionThomas Gleixner
The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that.

2011-06-03clockevents: Handle empty cpumask gracefullyThomas Gleixner
For UP it's stupid to request an initialized cpumask for the clock event devices. Though we need the mask set even on UP to avoid a horrible ifdeffery especially in the broadcast code. For SMP we can at least try to survive with a warning and set the cpumask of the cpu we're running on. That gives a decent chance to bring the machine up and retrieve the debug info.

2011-05-16tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshotThomas Gleixner
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

2011-05-04alarmtimer: Check return value of class_find_device()Thomas Gleixner
alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init() checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is dereferenced Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid as well. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2011-05-02timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was setThomas Gleixner
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we don't have an interface. Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are expired whenever the clock was set. The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

2011-04-28timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementationJohn Stultz
Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code, and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes). Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

2011-04-26timers: Posix interface for alarm-timersJohn Stultz
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if it is suspended. Some background can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/ The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device. As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME). The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides (ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait on a new alarm). One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research. There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated bag, mid-flight).

2011-04-26timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interfaceJohn Stultz
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for alarm-timers. Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers, but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer expires. The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree. See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36 This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct RTC manipulation.

2011-04-26time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptimeJohn Stultz
Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled. This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume to measure the time in suspend. The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However, this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate. This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume. The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

2011-04-18posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphoreRichard Cochran
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex. However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes. For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime would have to wait for almost a whole second. This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of a mutex.

2011-02-18ntp: Remove redundant and incorrect parameter checkRichard Cochran
The ADJ_SETOFFSET code redundantly checks the range of the nanoseconds field of the time value. This field is checked again in the subsequent call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). Also, as is, the check will not detect whether the number of microseconds is out of range. Let timekeeping_inject_offset() do the error checking.

2011-02-02posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocksRichard Cochran
This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver may optionally implement custom character device operations. The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks. The following system calls are affected: - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall) - clock_gettime - clock_getres - clock_settime - timer_create - timer_delete - timer_gettime - timer_settime [ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic to posix-clock.c and made all referenced functions static ] Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Acked-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <20110201134420.164172635@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2011-02-02time: Introduce timekeeping_inject_offsetJohn Stultz
This adds a kernel-internal timekeeping interface to add or subtract a fixed amount from CLOCK_REALTIME. This makes it so kernel users or interfaces trying to do so do not have to read the time, then add an offset and then call settimeofday(), which adds some extra error in comparision to just simply adding the offset in the kernel timekeeping core.
