93825f2ec7 jiffies: Reuse TICK_NSEC instead of NSEC_PER_JIFFY
NSEC_PER_JIFFY is an ad-hoc redefinition of TICK_NSEC. Let's rather
use a unique and well maintained version.

12907fbb1a sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method
PeterZ reported that we'd fail to mark the TSC unstable when the
clocksource watchdog finds it unsuitable.

Allow a clocksource to run a custom action when its being marked
unstable and hook up the TSC unstable code.

24b91e360e nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers
When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on
that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it
doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything.

In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the
clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent
device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented
on top of hrtimer.

Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick
deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the
device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides
with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick
accidentally.

In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing
as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled:

      Task in a full dynticks CPU
      ----------------------------

      * hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead
      * the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead
      * tick fires 1 second later
      * on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees
        the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline,
        fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled.
      * hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline
      * tick never fires again until an interrupt happens...

In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched
local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to
reprogram the clock after an interrupt.

On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next
clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related
comment to avoid confusion.

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

2456e85535 ktime: Get rid of the union
ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

9c1645727b timekeeping_Force_unsigned_clocksource_to_nanoseconds_conversion
The clocksource delta to nanoseconds conversion is using signed math, but
the delta is unsigned. This makes the conversion space smaller than
necessary and in case of a multiplication overflow the conversion can
become negative. The conversion is done with scaled math:

    s64 nsec_delta = ((s64)clkdelta * clk->mult) >> clk->shift;

Shifting a signed integer right obvioulsy preserves the sign, which has
interesting consequences:
 
 - Time jumps backwards
 
 - __iter_div_u64_rem() which is used in one of the calling code pathes
   will take forever to piecewise calculate the seconds/nanoseconds part.

This has been reported by several people with different scenarios:

David observed that when stopping a VM with a debugger:

 "It was essentially the stopped by debugger case.  I forget exactly why,
  but the guest was being explicitly stopped from outside, it wasn't just
  scheduling lag.  I think it was something in the vicinity of 10 minutes
  stopped."

 When lifting the stop the machine went dead.

The stopped by debugger case is not really interesting, but nevertheless it
would be a good thing not to die completely.

But this was also observed on a live system by Liav:

 "When the OS is too overloaded, delta will get a high enough value for the
  msb of the sum delta * tkr->mult + tkr->xtime_nsec to be set, and so
  after the shift the nsec variable will gain a value similar to
  0xffffffffff000000."

Unfortunately this has been reintroduced recently with commit 6bd58f09e1
("time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation"). It had been fixed a year
ago already in commit 35a4933a89 ("time: Avoid signed overflow in
timekeeping_get_ns()").

Though it's not surprising that the issue has been reintroduced because the
function itself and the whole call chain uses s64 for the result and the
propagation of it. The change in this recent commit is subtle:

   s64 nsec;

-  nsec = (d * m + n) >> s:
+  nsec = d * m + n;
+  nsec >>= s;

d being type of cycle_t adds another level of obfuscation.

This wouldn't have happened if the previous change to unsigned computation
would have made the 'nsec' variable u64 right away and a follow up patch
had cleaned up the whole call chain.

There have been patches submitted which basically did a revert of the above
patch leaving everything else unchanged as signed. Back to square one. This
spawned a admittedly pointless discussion about potential users which rely
on the unsigned behaviour until someone pointed out that it had been fixed
before. The changelogs of said patches added further confusion as they made
finally false claims about the consequences for eventual users which expect
signed results.

Despite delta being cycle_t, aka. u64, it's very well possible to hand in
a signed negative value and the signed computation will happily return the
correct result. But nobody actually sat down and analyzed the code which
was added as user after the propably unintended signed conversion.

Though in sensitive code like this it's better to analyze it proper and
make sure that nothing relies on this than hunting the subtle wreckage half
a year later. After analyzing all call chains it stands that no caller can
hand in a negative value (which actually would work due to the s64 cast)
and rely on the signed math to do the right thing.

Change the conversion function to unsigned math. The conversion of all call
chains is done in a follow up patch.

This solves the starvation issue, which was caused by the negative result,
but it does not solve the underlying problem. It merily procrastinates
it. When the timekeeper update is deferred long enough that the unsigned
multiplication overflows, then time going backwards is observable again.

It does neither solve the issue of clocksources with a small counter width
which will wrap around possibly several times and cause random time stamps
to be generated. But those are usually not found on systems used for
virtualization, so this is likely a non issue.

I took the liberty to claim authorship for this simply because
analyzing all callsites and writing the changelog took substantially
more time than just making the simple s/s64/u64/ change and ignore the
rest.

5304121ada clocksource: export the clocks_calc_mult_shift to use by timestamp code
The CPSW CPTS driver is capable of doing timestamping on tx/rx packets and
requires to know mult and shift factors for timestamp conversion from raw
value to nanoseconds (ptp clock). Now these mult and shift factors are
calculated manually and provided through DT, which makes very hard to
support of a lot number of platforms, especially if CPTS refclk is not the
same for some kind of boards and depends on efuse settings (Keystone 2
platforms). Hence, export clocks_calc_mult_shift() to allow drivers like
CPSW CPTS (and other ptp drivesr) to benefit from automaitc calculation of
mult and shift factors.

4a057549d6 alarmtimer: Add tracepoints for alarm timers
Alarm timers are one of the mechanisms to wake up a system from suspend,
but there exist no tracepoints to analyse which process/thread armed an
alarmtimer.

Add tracepoints for start/cancel/expire of individual alarm timers and one
for tracing the suspend time decision when to resume the system.

The following trace excerpt illustrates the new mechanism:

Binder:3292_2-3304  [000] d..2   149.981123: alarmtimer_cancel:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a7800 type:REALTIME

system_server-3000  [002] ...1  162.701940: alarmtimer_suspend:
alarmtimer type:REALTIME expires:1325376840000000000

The wakeup time which is selected at suspend time allows to map it back to
the task arming the timer: Binder:3292_2.

[ tglx: Store alarm timer expiry time instead of some useless RTC relative
  	information, add proper type information for wakeups which are

948a5312f4 timekeeping: Add a fast and NMI safe boot clock
This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for
suspend time.

To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:

(1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
earlier:
   CPU 0                                        CPU 1
   timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
   __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
                                                timestamp();
   timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);

(2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
partially updated.  Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.

baa73d9e47 posix-timers: Make them configurable
Some embedded systems have no use for them.  This removes about
25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out.

Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm.

The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast
majority of use cases with very little code.

4b7e9cf9c8 timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similar
The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and
schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly
return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply
not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early.

We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the
task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the
existing and designed behaviour.

Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation.

schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was
woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the
state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There
is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.

6c5e905969 timers: Fix usleep_range() in the context of wake_up_process()
Users of usleep_range() expect that it will _never_ return in less time
than the minimum passed parameter. However, nothing in the code ensures
this, when the sleeping task is woken by wake_up_process() or any other
mechanism which can wake a task from uninterruptible state.

Neither usleep_range() nor schedule_hrtimeout_range*() have any protection
against wakeups. schedule_hrtimeout_range*() is designed this way despite
the fact that the API documentation does not mention it.

msleep() already has code to handle this case since it will loop as long
as there was still time left.  usleep_range() has no such loop, add it.

Presumably this problem was not detected before because usleep_range() is
only used in a few places and the function is mostly used in contexts which
are not exposed to wakeups of any form.

An effort was made to look for users relying on the old behavior by
looking for usleep_range() in the same file as wake_up_process().
No problems were found by this search, though it is conceivable that
someone could have put the sleep and wakeup in two different files.

An effort was made to ask several upstream maintainers if they were aware
of people relying on wake_up_process() to wake up usleep_range(). No
maintainers were aware of that but they were aware of many people relying
on usleep_range() never returning before the minimum.

6bad6bccf2 timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding
When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This
mechanism has two issues:

1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked

The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current
timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than
the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done
on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk.

Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked.

2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing

This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed
in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement
and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value.

So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and
assignment with the local copy.

041ad7bc75 timers: Prevent base clock rewind when forwarding clock
Ashton and Michael reported, that kernel versions 4.8 and later suffer from
USB timeouts which are caused by the timer wheel rework.

This is caused by a bug in the base clock forwarding mechanism, which leads
to timers expiring early. The scenario which leads to this is:

run_timers()
  while (jiffies >= base->clk) {
    collect_expired_timers();
    base->clk++;
    expire_timers();
  }          

So base->clk = jiffies + 1. Now the cpu goes idle:

idle()
  get_next_timer_interrupt()
    nextevt = __next_time_interrupt();
    if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
       	base->clk = jiffies;

jiffies has not advanced since run_timers(), so this assignment effectively
decrements base->clk by one.

base->clk is the index into the timer wheel arrays. So let's assume the
following state after the base->clk increment in run_timers():

 jiffies = 0
 base->clk = 1

A timer gets enqueued with an expiry delta of 63 ticks (which is the case
with the USB timeout and HZ=250) so the resulting bucket index is:

  base->clk + delta = 1 + 63 = 64

The timer goes into the first wheel level. The array size is 64 so it ends
up in bucket 0, which is correct as it takes 63 ticks to advance base->clk
to index into bucket 0 again.

If the cpu goes idle before jiffies advance, then the bug in the forwarding
mechanism sets base->clk back to 0, so the next invocation of run_timers()
at the next tick will index into bucket 0 and therefore expire the timer 62
ticks too early.

Instead of blindly setting base->clk to jiffies we must make the forwarding
conditional on jiffies > base->clk, but we cannot use jiffies for this as
we might run into the following issue:

  if (time_after(jiffies, base->clk) {
    if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
       base->clk = jiffies;

jiffies can increment between the check and the assigment far enough to
advance beyond nextevt. So we need to use a stable value for checking.

get_next_timer_interrupt() has the basej argument which is the jiffies
value snapshot taken in the calling code. So we can just that.

Thanks to Ashton for bisecting and providing trace data!

4da9152a43 timers: Lock base for same bucket optimization
Linus stumbled over the unlocked modification of the timer expiry value in
mod_timer() which is an optimization for timers which stay in the same
bucket - due to the bucket granularity - despite their expiry time getting
updated.

The optimization itself still makes sense even if we take the lock, because
in case that the bucket stays the same, we avoid the pointless
queue/enqueue dance.

Make the check and the modification of timer->expires protected by the base
lock and shuffle the remaining code around so we can keep the lock held
when we actually have to requeue the timer to a different bucket.

0766f788eb latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

58bfea9532 timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression
In commit 27727df240 ("Avoid taking lock in NMI path with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING"), I changed the logic to open-code
the timekeeping_get_ns() function, but I forgot to include
the unit conversion from cycles to nanoseconds, breaking the
function's output, which impacts users like perf.

This results in bogus perf timestamps like:

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.

Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.

Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

57ccdf449f tick/nohz: Prevent stopping the tick on an offline CPU
can_stop_full_tick() has no check for offline cpus. So it allows to stop
the tick on an offline cpu from the interrupt return path, which is wrong
and subsequently makes irq_work_needs_cpu() warn about being called for an
offline cpu.

Commit f7ea0fd639 ("tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if
the cpu is offline") added prevention for can_stop_idle_tick(), but forgot
to do the same in can_stop_full_tick(). Add it.

08d0725992 tick/nohz: Fix softlockup on scheduler stalls in kvm guest
tick_nohz_start_idle() is prevented to be called if the idle tick can't 
be stopped since commit 1f3b0f8243 ("tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle 
enter"). As a result, after suspend/resume the host machine, full dynticks 
kvm guest will softlockup:

 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s! [swapper/0:0]

cpu3 65 2 328 6552 1732 0 0 11 0 0

The idle and iowait states are weird 0 for cpu0(housekeeping). 

The bug is present in both guest and host kernels, and they both have 
cpu0's idle and iowait states issue, however, host kernel's suspend/resume 
path etc will touch watchdog to avoid the softlockup.

- The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be 
  touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are 
  not detected.
- The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop 
  (resched or interrupt) if idle start time and idle_active flags are 
  not set. 

This patch fixes it by reverting commit 1f3b0f8243 since can't stop 
idle tick doesn't mean can't be idle.

Line 783 is this:

783         set_normalized_timespec64(&res, lhs.tv_sec + rhs.tv_sec,
784                         lhs.tv_nsec + rhs.tv_nsec);

In other words, since lhs.tv_sec and rhs.tv_sec are both time64_t, this
is a signed addition which will cause undefined behaviour on overflow.

Note that this is not currently a huge concern since the kernel should be
built with -fno-strict-overflow by default, but could be a problem in the
future, a problem with older compilers, or other compilers than gcc.

The easiest way to avoid the overflow is to cast one of the arguments to
unsigned (so the addition will be done using unsigned arithmetic).

36374583f9 clocksource: Defer override invalidation unless clock is unstable
Clocksources don't get the VALID_FOR_HRES flag until they have been
checked by a watchdog. However, when using an override, the
clocksource_select logic will clear the override value if the
clocksource is not marked VALID_FOR_HRES during that inititial check.
When using the boot arguments clocksource=<foo>, this selection can
run before the watchdog, and can cause the override to be incorrectly
cleared.

To address this condition, the override_name is only invalidated for
unstable clocksources. Otherwise, the override is left intact until after
the watchdog has validated the clocksource as stable/unstable.

a4f8f6667f timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug
It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the
system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() -> i8237A_resume() ->
claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken.

However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on
that problematic platform.

Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting
/sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation.

Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend,
and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller
than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus
after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time
which is a completely meaningless value.

Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the
sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to
sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor
memory being overwritten.

As depicted by System.map:
0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin
0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock
the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem.

This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time()
to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.

[jstultz: Problem diagnosed and original patch by Chen Yu, I've solved the
 issue slightly differently, but borrowed his excelent explanation of the
 issue here.]

27727df240 timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING
When I added some extra sanity checking in timekeeping_get_ns() under
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING, I missed that the NMI safe __ktime_get_fast_ns()
method was using timekeeping_get_ns().

Thus the locking added to the debug checks broke the NMI-safety of
__ktime_get_fast_ns().

This patch open-codes the timekeeping_get_ns() logic for
__ktime_get_fast_ns(), so can avoid any deadlocks in NMI.

46c8f0b077 timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() computation
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() routine is not properly
canceling the sched timer when nothing is pending, because
get_next_timer_interrupt() is no longer returning KTIME_MAX in
that case.  This causes periodic interrupts when none are needed.

When determining the next interrupt time, we first use
__next_timer_interrupt() to get the first expiring timer in the
timer wheel.  If no timer is found, we return the base clock value
plus NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA to indicate there is no timer in the
timer wheel.

Back in get_next_timer_interrupt(), we set the "expires" value
by converting the timer wheel expiry (in ticks) to a nsec value.
But we don't want to do this if the timer wheel expiry value
indicates no timer; we want to return KTIME_MAX.

Prior to commit 500462a9de ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading
wheel") we checked base->active_timers to see if any timers
were active, and if not, we didn't touch the expiry value and so
properly returned KTIME_MAX.  Now we don't have active_timers.

To fix this, we now just check the timer wheel expiry value to
see if it is "now + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA", and if it is, we don't
try to compute a new value based on it, but instead simply let the
KTIME_MAX value in expires remain.

1f3b0f8243 tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter
tick_nohz_start_idle is called before checking whether the idle tick can be
stopped. If the tick cannot be stopped, calling tick_nohz_start_idle() is
pointless and just wasting CPU cycles.

Only invoke tick_nohz_start_idle() when can_stop_idle_tick() returns true. A
short one minute observation of the effect on ARM64 shows a reduction of calls
by 1.5% thus optimizing the idle entry sequence.

If timers_dead_cpu() comes later than blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify()

f00c0afdfa timers: Implement optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer()
The existing optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer() checks whether
the timer expiry time is the same as the new requested expiry time. In the old
timer wheel implementation this does not take the slack batching into account,
neither does the new implementation evaluate whether the new expiry time will
requeue the timer to the same bucket.

To optimize that, we can calculate the resulting bucket and check if the new
expiry time is different from the current expiry time. This calculation
happens outside the base lock held region. If the resulting bucket is the same
we can avoid taking the base lock and requeueing the timer.

If the timer needs to be requeued then we have to check under the base lock
whether the base time has changed between the lockless calculation and taking
the lock. If it has changed we need to recalculate under the lock.

This optimization takes effect for timers which are enqueued into the less
granular wheel levels (1 and above). With a simple test case the functionality
has been verified:

            Before        After
 Match:       5.5%        86.6%
 Requeue:    94.5%        13.4%
 Recalc:                  <0.01%

In the non optimized case the timer is requeued in 94.5% of the cases. With
the index optimization in place the requeue rate drops to 13.4%. The case
where the lockless index calculation has to be redone is less than 0.01%.

With a real world test case (networking) we observed the following changes:

            Before        After
 Match:      97.8%        99.7%
 Requeue:     2.2%         0.3%
 Recalc:                  <0.001%

That means two percent fewer lock/requeue/unlock operations done in one of
the hot path use cases of timers.

a683f390b9 timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible
The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the
side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels.
That results in coarser granularity.

To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock
whenever possible.

236968383c timers: Optimize collect_expired_timers() for NOHZ
After a NOHZ idle sleep the timer wheel must be forwarded to current jiffies.
There might be expired timers so the current code loops and checks the expired
buckets for timers. This can take quite some time for long NOHZ idle periods.

The pending bitmask in the timer base allows us to do a quick search for the
next expiring timer and therefore a fast forward of the base time which
prevents pointless long lasting loops.

For a 3 seconds idle sleep this reduces the catchup time from ~1ms to 5us.

500462a9de timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel
The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:

1) Cascading:

   Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
   cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
   rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
   real timers to measure time.)

2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:

   In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
   must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
   have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
   and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
   in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
   when we should wake up as fast as possible.

After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
modified to address the above issues.

The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.

The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:

 1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry

 2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
    batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
    set_timer_slack() API.

So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.

To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
locality for the networking code as well.

Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.

So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:

 Level Offset   Granularity                  Range
     0      0          4 ms                 0 ms -        252 ms
     1     64         32 ms               256 ms -       2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
     2    128        256 ms              2048 ms -      16380 ms (~2s   - ~16s)
     3    192       2048 ms (~2s)       16384 ms -     131068 ms (~16s  - ~2m)
     4    256      16384 ms (~16s)     131072 ms -    1048572 ms (~2m   - ~17m)
     5    320     131072 ms (~2m)     1048576 ms -    8388604 ms (~17m  - ~2h)
     6    384    1048576 ms (~17m)    8388608 ms -   67108863 ms (~2h   - ~18h)
     7    448    8388608 ms (~2h)    67108864 ms -  536870911 ms (~18h  - ~6d)

That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
beginning of a level.

So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:

1) Cascading is avoided completely

2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
   the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
   look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).

A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
provide natural batching already.

Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.

This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
optimizations are in follow up patches.

This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

e675447bda timers: Make 'pinned' a timer property
We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.

Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().

The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
timer->flags.

This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
recognize the flag.

This patch:

 - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
   methods

 - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,

 - and adds some migration helper facility to allow
   step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
   pinned timers.

b9fdac7f66 debugobjects: insulate non-fixup logic related to static obj from fixup callbacks
When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker.  If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.

In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks.  Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.

To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not.  If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.

This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.

At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked.  Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour.  For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

But, 32 bit systems only have an extern function prototype defined.
Provide a definition for the above function.

The function will be necessary as part of y2038 changes.  struct
timespec is not y2038 safe.  All references to timespec will be replaced
by struct timespec64.  The function is meant to be a replacement for
timespec_add_safe().

The implementation is similar to timespec_add_safe().

1f41906a6f sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accounting
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.

Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.

In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.

So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

86d3473224 time: Introduce do_sys_settimeofday64()
The do_sys_settimeofday() function uses a timespec, which is not year
2038 safe on 32bit systems.

Thus this patch introduces do_sys_settimeofday64(), which allows us to
transition users of do_sys_settimeofday() to using 64bit time types.

f009a7a767 timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t
The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the
type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it.

But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use
atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our
tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from
possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.
