x86/tsc: Prevent NULL pointer deref in calibrate_delay_is_known()

2016-03-18T13:51:06+00:00

The topology_core_cpumask is used to find a neighbour cpu in calibrate_delay_is_known(). It might not be allocated at the first invocation of that function on the boot cpu, when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set. The mask is allocated later in native_smp_prepare_cpus. As a consequence the underlying find_next_bit() call dereferences a NULL pointer. Add a proper check to prevent this.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer department delivers this time: - Support for cross clock domain timestamps in the core code plus a first user. That allows more precise timestamping for PTP and later for audio and other peripherals. The ptp/e1000e patches have been acked by the relevant maintainers and are carried in the timer tree to avoid merge ordering issues. - Support for unregistering the current clocksource watchdog. That lifts a limitation for switching clocksources which has been there from day 1 - The usual pile of fixes and updates to the core and the drivers.

x86/tsc: Always Running Timer (ART) correlated clocksource

2016-03-03T22:23:34+00:00

On modern Intel systems TSC is derived from the new Always Running Timer (ART). ART can be captured simultaneous to the capture of audio and network device clocks, allowing a correlation between timebases to be constructed. Upon capture, the driver converts the captured ART value to the appropriate system clock using the correlated clocksource mechanism. On systems that support ART a new CPUID leaf (0x15) returns parameters “m” and “n” such that: TSC_value = (ART_value * m) / n + k [n >= 1] [k is an offset that can adjusted by a privileged agent. The IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR is an example of an interface to adjust k.

perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page

2015-10-20T08:30:52+00:00

Commit: b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock") allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value 32, the type must be u64. In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of granularity so they look like they are not changing at all. Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly. Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code based on it will be more future-proof.
