| | * x86, tsc: Remove CPU frequency calibration on AMDBorislav Petkov2010-08-251-58/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 6b37f5a20c0e5c334c010a587058354215433e92 introduced the CPU frequency calibration code for AMD CPUs whose TSCs didn't increment with the core's P0 frequency. From F10h, revB onward, however, the TSC increment rate is denoted by MSRC001_0015[24] and when this bit is set (which should be done by the BIOS) the TSC increments with the P0 frequency so the calibration is not needed and booting can be a couple of mcecs faster on those machines. Besides, there should be virtually no machines out there which don't have this bit set, therefore this calibration can be safely removed. It is a shaky hack anyway since it assumes implicitly that the core is in P0 when BIOS hands off to the OS, which might not always be the case.

* | x86, tsc, sched: Recompute cyc2ns_offset's during resume from sleep statesSuresh Siddha2010-08-201-0/+38
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still sync'd across cpu's) during resume. This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and idle cpu's after suspend/resume. This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops. Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during suspend.

* x86: Reenable TSC sync check at boot, even with NONSTOP_TSCPallipadi, Venkatesh2009-12-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 83ce4009 did the following change If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable. But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

| * | clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstableThomas Gleixner2009-08-281-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it: To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex. Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held. native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex and the deadlock is complete. The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

| * | timekeeping: Move reset of cycle_last for tsc clocksource to tscMartin Schwidefsky2009-08-151-0/+6
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | change_clocksource resets the cycle_last value to zero then sets it to a value read from the clocksource. The reset to zero is required only for the TSC clocksource to make the read_tsc function work after a resume. The reason is that the TSC read function uses cycle_last to detect backwards going TSCs. In the resume case cycle_last contains the TSC value from the last update before the suspend. On resume the TSC starts counting from 0 again and would trip over the cycle_last comparison. This is subtle and surprising. Move the reset to a resume function in the tsc code.

* x86: Fix serialization in pit_expect_msb()Linus Torvalds2009-08-101-7/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

Our current formula is: time = cycles * mult (where mult is a function of the cpu-speed on variable tsc machines) Suppose our current cycle count is 10, and we have a multiplier of 5, then our time value would end up being 50. Now cpufreq comes along and changes the multiplier to say 3 or 7, which would result in our time being resp. 30 or 70. That means that we can observe random jumps in the time value due to frequency changes in both fwd and bwd direction. So what this patch does is change the formula to: time = cycles * frequency + offset And we calculate offset so that time_before == time_after, thereby ridding us of these jumps in time.

* | time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.hArnd Bergmann2009-06-161-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181...

* | Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error boundsLinus Torvalds2009-03-171-45/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

* | Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitchLinus Torvalds2009-03-171-0/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

This is achieved by resetting the CLOCKSOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag. We add a tsc=reliable commandline option to enable this. This enables legacy hardware without HPET, LAPIC, or ACPI timers to enter high-resolution timer mode. Along with that have extended this to be used in virtualization environement too. Now we also set this flag if the X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE bit is set. This is important since there is a wrap-around problem with the acpi_pm timer. The acpi_pm counter is just 24bits and this can overflow in ~4 seconds. With the NO_HZ kernels in virtualized environment, there can be situations when the guest is descheduled for longer duration, as a result we may miss the wrap of the acpi counter. When TSC is used as a clocksource and acpi_pm timer is being used as the watchdog clocksource this error in acpi_pm results in TSC being marked as unstable, and essentially results in time dropping in chunks of 4 seconds whenever this wrap is missed. Since the virtualized TSC is reliable on VMware, we should always use the TSCs clocksource on VMware, so we skip the verfication at runtime, by checking for the feature bit. Since we reset the flag for mgeode systems too, i have combined the mgeode case with the feature bit check.

This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.
