Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the last functional update from the tip tree for 4.10. It got delayed due to a newly reported and anlyzed variant of BIOS bug and the resulting wreckage: - Seperation of TSC being marked realiable and the fact that the platform provides the TSC frequency via CPUID/MSRs and making use for it for GOLDMONT. - TSC adjust MSR validation and sanitizing: The TSC adjust MSR contains the offset to the hardware counter. The sum of the adjust MSR and the counter is the TSC value which is read via RDTSC. On at least two machines from different vendors the BIOS sets the TSC adjust MSR to negative values. This happens on cold and warm boot. While on cold boot the offset is a few milliseconds, on warm boot it basically compensates the power on time of the system. The BIOSes are not even using the adjust MSR to set all CPUs in the package to the same offset. The offsets are different which renders the TSC unusable, What's worse is that the TSC deadline timer has a HW feature^Wbug. It malfunctions when the TSC adjust value is negative or greater equal 0x80000000 resulting in silent boot failures, hard lockups or non firing timers. This looks like some hardware internal 32/64bit issue with a sign extension problem. Intel has been silent so far on the issue. The update contains sanity checks and keeps the adjust register within working limits and in sync on the package. As it looks like this disease is spreading via BIOS crapware, we need to address this urgently as the boot failures are hard to debug for users" * 'x86-timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tsc: Limit the adjust value further x86/tsc: Annotate printouts as firmware bug x86/tsc: Force TSC_ADJUST register to value >= zero x86/tsc: Validate TSC_ADJUST after resume x86/tsc: Validate cpumask pointer before accessing it x86/tsc: Fix broken CONFIG_X86_TSC=n build x86/tsc: Try to adjust TSC if sync test fails x86/tsc: Prepare warp test for TSC adjustment x86/tsc: Move sync cleanup to a safe place x86/tsc: Sync test only for the first cpu in a package x86/tsc: Verify TSC_ADJUST from idle x86/tsc: Store and check TSC ADJUST MSR x86/tsc: Detect random warps x86/tsc: Use X86_FEATURE_TSC_ADJUST in detect_art() x86/tsc: Finalize the split of the TSC_RELIABLE flag x86/tsc: Set TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE flags on Intel Atom SoCs x86/tsc: Mark Intel ATOM_GOLDMONT TSC reliable x86/tsc: Mark TSC frequency determined by CPUID as known x86/tsc: Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag |
