5aac644a99 x86/tsc: Let high latency PIT fail fast in quick_pit_calibrate()
If it takes longer than 12us to read the PIT counter lsb/msb,
then the error margin will never fall below 500ppm within 50ms,
and Fast TSC calibration will always fail.

This patch detects when that will happen and fails fast. Note
the failure message is not printed in that case because:
1. it will always happen on that class of hardware
2. the absence of the message is more informative than its
presence

520452172e x86/tsc: Change Fast TSC calibration failed from error to info
Many users see this message when booting without knowning that it is
of no importance and that TSC calibration may have succeeded by
another way.

As explained by Paul Bolle in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348488259.1436.22.camel@x61.thuisdomein

  "Fast TSC calibration failed" should not be considered as an error
  since other calibration methods are being tried afterward. At most,
  those send a warning if they fail (not an error). So let's change
  the message from error to warning.

[ tglx: Make if pr_info. It's really not important at all ]

b47dcbdc51 x86, apic: Handle a bad TSC more gracefully
If the TSC is unusable or disabled, then this patch fixes:

 - Confusion while trying to clear old APIC interrupts.
 - Division by zero and incorrect programming of the TSC deadline
   timer.

This fixes boot if the CPU has a TSC deadline timer but a missing or
broken TSC.  The failure to boot can be observed with qemu using
-cpu qemu64,-tsc,+tsc-deadline

This also happens to me in nested KVM for unknown reasons.
With this patch, I can boot cleanly (although without a TSC).

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

09ec54429c clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core code
The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to
provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and
monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core.

We can't do the TSC specific

    if (now < cycle_last)
       	    now = cycle_last;

for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has
CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if
now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative
result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0
for that case.

Implement and enable it for x86

3896c329df x86, tsc: Fix cpufreq lockup
Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver
locked up when doing cpu hotplug.

Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier()
unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change,
instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes.

Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots
and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline,
there's no consumers to free slots.

By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz
we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"

569d6557ab x86: Use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns()
When debug preempt is enabled, preempt_disable() can be traced by
function and function graph tracing.

There's a place in the function graph tracer that calls trace_clock()
which eventually calls cycles_2_ns() outside of the recursion
protection. When cycles_2_ns() calls preempt_disable() it gets traced
and the graph tracer will go into a recursive loop causing a crash or
worse, a triple fault.

Simple fix is to use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns, which
makes sense because the preempt_disable() tracing may use that code
too, and it tracing it, even with recursion protection is rather
pointless.

7da7c15613 x86, tsc: Add static (MSR) TSC calibration on Intel Atom SoCs
On SoCs that have the calibration MSRs available, either there is no
PIT, HPET or PMTIMER to calibrate against, or the PIT/HPET/PMTIMER is
driven from the same clock as the TSC, so calibration is redundant and
just slows down the boot.

TSC rate is caculated by this formula:
<maximum core-clock to bus-clock ratio> * <maximum resolved frequency>
The ratio and the resolved frequency ID can be obtained from MSR.

148f9bb877 x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

2353b47bff Round the calculated scale factor in set_cyc2ns_scale()
During some experiments with an external clock (in a FPGA), we saw that
the TSC clock drifted approx. 2.5ms per second.

This drift was caused by the current way of calculating the scale.
In our case cpu_khz had a value of 3292725. This resulted in a scale
value of 310. But when doing the calculation by hand it shows that the
actual value is 310.9886188491, so a value of 311 would be more precise.

With this change the value is rounded.

b74f05d61b x86: kvmclock: abstract save/restore sched_clock_state
Upon resume from hibernation, CPU 0's hvclock area contains the old
values for system_time and tsc_timestamp. It is necessary for the
hypervisor to update these values with uptodate ones before the CPU uses
them.

Abstract TSC's save/restore sched_clock_state functions and use
restore_state to write to KVM_SYSTEM_TIME MSR, forcing an update.

Also move restore_sched_clock_state before __restore_processor_state,
since the later calls CONFIG_LOCK_STAT's lockstat_clock (also for TSC).
Thanks to Igor Mammedov for tracking it down.

Fixes suspend-to-disk with kvmclock.

57779dc2b3 x86, tsc: Skip refined tsc calibration on systems with reliable TSC
While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly
over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC
algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in
tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the
kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently
after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through
the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results.
Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the
platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much
value in refining it.

So  for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we
should skip the refined tsc algorithm.

We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is
set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there
own TSC calibration methods.

9993bc635d sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

68f30fbee1 x86, tsc: Fix SMI induced variation in quick_pit_calibrate()
pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario:

a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition.

b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after
   returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB
   transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution.

c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and
   exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB
   transition, we are way off because of the SMI.  And as the SMI happened
   between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the
   for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and
   quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error.

Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will
see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a
result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in
the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures.

  [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets
    disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens
    before the ACPI is enabled. ]

To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that

 - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB
change from the PIT (same as before)

 - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed
to *after* the MSB changed.

Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses,
roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get
the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2)
covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to
250ppm precision.

As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50.

SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take
longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will
fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec.

Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to
get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which
direction to correct into, so remove it.

b565201cf7 x86: Reduce clock calibration time during slave cpu startup
Reduce the startup time for slave cpus.

Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration.
These hooks are used on x86.  If a newly started cpu has the
same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the
delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated
value of loops_per_jiffy.

This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a
4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW

This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes.

433bd805e5 clocksource: Replace vread with generic arch data
The vread field was bloating struct clocksource everywhere except
x86_64, and I want to change the way this works on x86_64, so let's
split it out into per-arch data.

df049672dd x86: tsc: Remove unneeded DMI-based blacklisting
The blacklist was added in response to my bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/19/362) and has never
contained more than the one entry describing my old
now dead ThinkPad 380XD laptop. As found out later
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/29/50), this special
treatment has been unnecessary for a long time, so
it can be removed.

44259b1abf x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options
vread_tsc is short and hot, and it's userspace code so the usual
reasons to enable -pg and turn off sibling calls don't apply.

(OK, turning off sibling calls has no effect.  But it might
someday...)

As an added benefit, tsc.c is profilable now.

3729db5ca2 x86-64: Don't generate cmov in vread_tsc
vread_tsc checks whether rdtsc returns something less than
cycle_last, which is an extremely predictable branch.  GCC likes
to generate a cmov anyway, which is several cycles slower than
a predicted branch.  This saves a couple of nanoseconds.

057e6a8c66 x86-64: Remove unnecessary barrier in vread_tsc
RDTSC is completely unordered on modern Intel and AMD CPUs.  The
Intel manual says that lfence;rdtsc causes all previous instructions
to complete before the tsc is read, and the AMD manual says to use
mfence;rdtsc to do the same thing.

From a decent amount of testing [1] this is enough to make rdtsc
be ordered with respect to subsequent loads across a wide variety
of CPUs.

On Sandy Bridge (i7-2600), this improves a loop of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) by more than 5 ns/iter.

8c49d9a74b x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables
Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess.  They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.

This changes them all to use a common mechanism.  All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script).  In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables.  In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.

The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups.  As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.

While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.

62627bec8a x86: tsc: Fix calibration refinement conditionals to avoid divide by zero
Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a
divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer
address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the
ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero
which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation.

The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks
the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the
refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out.

The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads
from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware
wrapping).

So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we
don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by
invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

[ tglx: Applied the same fix to native_calibrate_tsc() where this
  	check was copied from ]
