* clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurableMartin Schwidefsky2011-09-081-73/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.Christoph Lameter2010-12-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu instance. However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.

* clockevents: Sanitize min_delta_ns adjustment and prevent overflowsThomas Gleixner2010-03-121-12/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows. Sanitize it by: - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data Reported-by: Uwe Kleine-Koenig <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 secondsJon Hunter2009-11-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the "clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds. The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc). The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function "clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX. For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for a 64-bit machine it will be many years. This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of "unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX. Hence this allows a 32-bit machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all callers of clockevent_delta2ns().

* clocksource: prevent selection of low resolution clocksourse also for nohz=onThomas Gleixner2009-06-131-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 3f68535adad (clocksource: sanity check sysfs clocksource changes) prevents selection of non high resolution capable clocksources when high resolution mode is active, but did not take into account that the same rules apply for highres=off nohz=on. Check the tick device mode instead of hrtimer_hres_active() to verify whether the system needs to be protected from a switch to jiffies or other non highres capable clock sources.

* clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather informationThomas Gleixner2008-09-091-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected machines. The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of the min_delta_ns value.

* clockevents: prevent endless loop lockupThomas Gleixner2008-09-051-6/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* clockevents: enforce reprogram in oneshot setupThomas Gleixner2008-09-051-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes - I'm nervous about this causing include loops. However, there's a separate point to be discussed here. That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel. If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h rather than linux/irq.h. So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity() to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context registers.) Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform kernels which both use genirq.

* [PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangsThomas Gleixner2007-03-161-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the code and the bug reports what's going on. The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion, when the non boot CPU is brought back up. The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp. nohz mode were simply wrong. Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic modes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [PATCH] tick-management: dyntick / highres functionalityThomas Gleixner2007-02-161-0/+84
With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers. The code which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks. The dyntick functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline. Provide also the infrastructure to support high resolution timers.
