From c2bc11113c50449f23c40b724fe410fc2380a8e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:12:42 -0700 Subject: time: Improve documentation of timekeeeping_adjust() After getting a number of questions in private emails about the math around admittedly very complex timekeeping_adjust() and timekeeping_big_adjust(), I figure the code needs some better comments. Hopefully the explanations are clear enough and don't muddy the water any worse. Still needs documentation for ntp_error, but I couldn't recall exactly the full explanation behind the code that's there (although I do recall once working it out when Roman first proposed it). Given a bit more time I can probably work it out, but I don't want to hold back this documentation until then.

This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value.

McKenney" Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:10:22 -0700 Subject: rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasks Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required. This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service, so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly, rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked at the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used. Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions and interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution (though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall). The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter. This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246). In addition, validation of ->dynticks and ->dynticks_nesting is added. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.

There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.

However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.
