* x86: C1E late detection fix. Really switch off lapic timerThomas Gleixner2007-10-171-14/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Doh, I completely missed that devices marked DUMMY are not running the set_mode function. So we force broadcasting, but we keep the local APIC timer running. Let the clock event layer mark the device _after_ switching it off. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* Use num_possible_cpus() instead of NR_CPUS for timer distributionjohn stultz2007-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid lock contention, we distribute the sched_timer calls across the cpus so they do not trigger at the same instant. However, I used NR_CPUS, which can cause needless grouping on small smp systems depending on your kernel config. This patch converts to using num_possible_cpus() so we spread it as evenly as possible on every machine. Briefly tested w/ NR_CPUS=255 and verified reduced contention.

* clockevents: introduce force broadcast notifierThomas Gleixner2007-10-142-6/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into broadcast mode. Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock events layer. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

* clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^WthinkoThomas Gleixner2007-09-231-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across the suspend/resume. Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time. The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set, when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

* clockevents: prevent stale tick update on offline cpuThomas Gleixner2007-09-161-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Taking a cpu offline removes the cpu from the online mask before the CPU_DEAD notification is done. The clock events layer does the cleanup of the dead CPU from the CPU_DEAD notifier chain. tick_do_timer_cpu is used to avoid xtime lock contention by assigning the task of jiffies xtime updates to one CPU. If a CPU is taken offline, then this assignment becomes stale. This went unnoticed because most of the time the offline CPU went dead before the online CPU reached __cpu_die(), where the CPU_DEAD state is checked. In the case that the offline CPU did not reach the DEAD state before we reach __cpu_die(), the code in there goes to sleep for 100ms. Due to the stale time update assignment, the system is stuck forever. Take the assignment away when a cpu is not longer in the cpu_online_mask. We do this in the last call to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when the offline CPU is on the way to the final play_dead() idle entry. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* clockevents: do not shutdown the oneshot broadcast deviceThomas Gleixner2007-09-161-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | When a cpu goes offline it is removed from the broadcast masks. If the mask becomes empty the code shuts down the broadcast device. This is wrong, because the broadcast device needs to be ready for the online cpu going idle (into a c-state, which stops the local apic timer). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* clockevents: Enforce oneshot broadcast when broadcast mask is set on resumeThomas Gleixner2007-09-161-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | The jinxed VAIO refuses to resume without hitting keys on the keyboard when this is not enforced. It is unclear why the cpu ends up in a lower C State without notifying the clock events layer, but enforcing the oneshot broadcast here is safe. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* timekeeping: Prevent time going backwards on resumeThomas Gleixner2007-09-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timekeeping resume adjusts xtime by adding the slept time in seconds and resets the reference value of the clock source (clock->cycle_last). clock->cycle last is used to calculate the delta between the last xtime update and the readout of the clock source in __get_nsec_offset(). xtime plus the offset is the current time. The resume code ignores the delta which had already elapsed between the last xtime update and the actual time of suspend. If the suspend time is short, then we can see time going backwards on resume. Suspend: offs_s = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_s; timekeeping_suspend_time = read_rtc(); Resume: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; if sleep_time_seconds == 0 and offs_r < offs_s, then time goes backwards. Fix this by storing the offset from the last xtime update and add it to xtime during resume, when we reset clock->cycle_last: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; xtime += offs_s; /* Fixup xtime offset at suspend time */ clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; Thanks to Marcelo for tracking this down on the OLPC and providing the necessary details to analyze the root cause.

* Cache xtime every call to update_wall_timejohn stultz2007-07-251-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a 'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick. IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or 'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the seconds field).

* Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().john stultz2007-07-251-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

* NTP: remove clock_was_set() call to prevent deadlockThomas Gleixner2007-07-031-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The clock_was_set() call in seconds_overflow() which happens only when leap seconds are inserted / deleted is wrong in two aspects: 1. it results in a call to on_each_cpu() with interrupts disabled 2. it is potential deadlock source vs. call_lock in smp_call_function() The only possible side effect of the removal might be, that an absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timer fires 1 second too late, in the rare case of leap second deletion and an absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timer which expires in the affected time frame.

* timer statistics: fix raceBjorn Steinbrink2007-06-011-16/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix two races in the timer stats lookup code. One by ensuring that the initialization of a new entry is finished upon insertion of that entry. The other by cleaning up the hash table when the entries array is cleared, so that we don't have any "pre-inserted" entries. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for reminding me of the memory barriers.

* NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeoutsThomas Gleixner2007-05-301-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit value. When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for HZ=1000. In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Booting a SMP kernel with maxcpus=1 on a SMP system leads to a hard hang, because ACPI ignores the maxcpus setting and sends timer broadcast info for the offline CPUs.

* Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan2007-05-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%). Cross-compile tested on all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs, alpha alpha-up arm i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig ia64 ia64-up m68k mips parisc parisc-up powerpc powerpc-up s390 s390-up sparc sparc-up sparc64 sparc64-up um-x86_64 x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig as well as my two usual configs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this. Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume function. Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used accross suspend/resume.

* sched: dynticks idle load balancingSiddha, Suresh B2007-05-081-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the process idle load balancing in the presence of dynticks. cpus for which ticks are stopped will sleep till the next event wakes it up. Potentially these sleeps can be for large durations and during which today, there is no periodic idle load balancing being done. This patch nominates an owner among the idle cpus, which does the idle load balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are completely idle, then we can stop this idle load balancing too. Checks added in fast path are minimized. Whenever there are busy cpus in the system, there will be an owner(idle cpu) doing the system wide idle load balancing. Open items: 1. Intelligent owner selection (like an idle core in a busy package). 2. Merge with rcu's nohz_cpu_mask?

* highres/dyntick: prevent xtime lock contentionThomas Gleixner2007-05-083-3/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.
