f6c06abfb3 timekeeping: Provide hrtimer update function
To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to
be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

f55a6faa38 hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed()
clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because
it calls on_each_cpu().

For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to
call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which
does the timekeeping updates.

Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

[ tglx: Made it depend on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS. We really should get
  rid of all this ifdeffery ASAP ]

68fa61c026 hrtimers: Reorder clock bases
The ordering of the clock bases is historical due to the
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC constants. Now the hrtimer bases
have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that
relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In
desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to
absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often
enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when
CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't
skip over a full cache line.

9ec2690758 timerfd: Manage cancelable timers in timerfd
Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the
timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution
was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was
proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's
less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the
list iteration.

99ee5315da timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was set
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.

Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.

The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

70a08cca12 timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

41d2e49493 hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.

Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.

The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

that the function call always happens.

507e123151 timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.

So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.

In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

597d027573 timers: Framework for identifying pinned timers
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]:

This patch creates a new framework for identifying cpu-pinned timers
and hrtimers.

This framework is needed because pinned timers are expected to fire on
the same CPU on which they are queued. So it is essential to identify
these and not migrate them, in case there are any.

For regular timers, the currently existing add_timer_on() can be used
queue pinned timers and subsequently mod_timer_pinned() can be used
to modify the 'expires' field.

For hrtimers, new modes HRTIMER_ABS_PINNED and HRTIMER_REL_PINNED are
added to queue cpu-pinned hrtimer.

functions ]

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.

It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.

ca109491f6 hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes
Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context

This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
reducing the number of callback modes to 1.

This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
context.

I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.

Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
this needs a fix.

Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
makes me certain :-)

but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.

On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was

2075eb8d95 rangetimer: fix x86 build failure for the !HRTIMERS case
the timer peek function was on the wrong side of an ifdef,
breaking for the !HRTIMERs case. Just provide an empty inline
for that case since it doesn't make sense in that scenario.

ccc7dadf73 hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimers
Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU

The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.

Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

b00c1a99e7 hrtimer: mark migration state
Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive

The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.

Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

d7cfb60c5c hrtimer: remove hrtimer_clock_base::get_softirq_time()
Peter Zijlstra noticed this 8 months ago and I just noticed
it again.

hrtimer_clock_base::get_softirq_time() is currently unused
in the entire tree. In fact, looking at the logs, it appears
as if it was never used. Remove it.

2e94d1f71f hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idle
As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine
which C-state to select etc.

This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their
soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup
time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before
going idle rather than specially waking up for it.

da8f2e170e hrtimer: add a hrtimer_start_range() function
this patch adds a _range version of hrtimer_start() so that range timers
can be created; the hrtimer_start() function is just a wrapper around this.

In addition, hrtimer_start_expires() will now preserve existing ranges.

584fb4a764 hrtimer: fix build bug found by Ingo
in some randconfig configurations, hrtimers are used even though
the hrtimer config if off; and it broke the build due to some of
the new functions being on the wrong side of the ifdef.

This patch moves the functions to the other side of the ifdef, fixing
the build bug.

654c8e0b1c hrtimer: turn hrtimers into range timers
this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point

the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.
