- Time namespace support:
If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects that
clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime these
clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst case time
goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX requirements.
The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets for
clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before tasks are
associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken into account by
timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided by
this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric potential
use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (host time offsets = 0) is
in the noise and great effort was made to ensure that especially in the
VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the kernel configuration the
code is compiled out.
Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this feature
and kept on for more than a year addressing review comments, finding
better solutions. A pleasant experience.
- Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure that
the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.
- A new clocksource/event driver for Microchip PIT64
- Suspend/resume support for the Hyper-V clocksource
- The usual pile of fixes, updates and improvements mostly in the
driver code.
