timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression

2016-10-16T15:50:36+00:00

commit 58bfea9532552d422bde7afa207e1a0f08dffa7d upstream. In commit 27727df240c7 ("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: swapper 0 [000] 253.427536: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.426573: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.426687: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.426800: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.426905: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.427022: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.427127: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.427239: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.427346: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 254.427463: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 255.426572: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) Instead of more reasonable expected timestamps like: swapper 0 [000] 39.953768: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.064839: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.175956: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.287103: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.398217: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.509324: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.620437: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.731546: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.842654: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 40.953772: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) swapper 0 [000] 41.064881: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms]) Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.

timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING

2016-09-15T06:20:27+00:00

commit 27727df240c7cc84f2ba6047c6f18d5addfd25ef upstream. 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.

time/timekeeping: Work around false positive GCC warning

Newer GCC versions trigger the following warning: kernel/time/timekeeping.c: In function ‘get_device_system_crosststamp’: kernel/time/timekeeping.c:987:5: warning: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (discontinuity) { ^ kernel/time/timekeeping.c:1045:15: note: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ was declared here unsigned int clock_was_set_seq; ^ GCC clearly is unable to recognize that the 'do_interp' boolean tracks the initialization status of 'clock_was_set_seq'. The GCC version used was: gcc version 5.3.1 20151207 (Red Hat 5.3.1-2) (GCC) Work it around by initializing clock_was_set_seq to 0. Compilers that are able to recognize the code flow will eliminate the unnecessary initialization.

time: Add history to cross timestamp interface supporting slower devices

2016-03-03T01:13:17+00:00

Another representative use case of time sync and the correlated clocksource (in addition to PTP noted above) is PTP synchronized audio. In a streaming application, as an example, samples will be sent and/or received by multiple devices with a presentation time that is in terms of the PTP master clock. Synchronizing the audio output on these devices requires correlating the audio clock with the PTP master clock. The more precise this correlation is, the better the audio quality (i.e. out of sync audio sounds bad). From an application standpoint, to correlate the PTP master clock with the audio device clock, the system clock is used as a intermediate timebase. The transforms such an application would perform are: System Clock <-> Audio clock System Clock <-> Network Device Clock [<-> PTP Master Clock] Modern Intel platforms can perform a more accurate cross timestamp in hardware (ART,audio device clock). The audio driver requires ART->system time transforms -- the same as required for the network driver. These platforms offload audio processing (including cross-timestamps) to a DSP which to ensure uninterrupted audio processing, communicates and response to the host only once every millsecond. As a result is takes up to a millisecond for the DSP to receive a request, the request is processed by the DSP, the audio output hardware is polled for completion, the result is copied into shared memory, and the host is notified. All of these operation occur on a millisecond cadence. This transaction requires about 2 ms, but under heavier workloads it may take up to 4 ms. Adding a history allows these slow devices the option of providing an ART value outside of the current interval. In this case, the callback provided is an accessor function for the previously obtained counter value. If get_system_device_crosststamp() receives a counter value previous to cycle_last, it consults the history provided as an argument in history_ref and interpolates the realtime and monotonic raw system time using the provided counter value. If there are any clock discontinuities, e.g. from calling settimeofday(), the monotonic raw time is interpolated in the usual way, but the realtime clock time is adjusted by scaling the monotonic raw adjustment. When an accessor function is used a history argument *must* be provided. The history is initialized using ktime_get_snapshot() and must be called before the counter values are read.

time: Add driver cross timestamp interface for higher precision time synchronization

2016-03-03T01:13:10+00:00

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: cross timestamp code was developed by Thomas Gleixner . It has changed considerably and any mistakes are mine. The precision with which events on multiple networked systems can be synchronized using, as an example, PTP (IEEE 1588, 802.1AS) is limited by the precision of the cross timestamps between the system clock and the device (timestamp) clock. Precision here is the degree of simultaneity when capturing the cross timestamp. Currently the PTP cross timestamp is captured in software using the PTP device driver ioctl PTP_SYS_OFFSET. Reads of the device clock are interleaved with reads of the realtime clock. At best, the precision of this cross timestamp is on the order of several microseconds due to software latencies. Sub-microsecond precision is required for industrial control and some media applications. To achieve this level of precision hardware supported cross timestamping is needed. The function get_device_system_crosstimestamp() allows device drivers to return a cross timestamp with system time properly scaled to nanoseconds. The realtime value is needed to discipline that clock using PTP and the monotonic raw value is used for applications that don't require a "real" time, but need an unadjusted clock time. The get_device_system_crosstimestamp() code calls back into the driver to ensure that the system counter is within the current timekeeping update interval. Modern Intel hardware provides an Always Running Timer (ART) which is exactly related to TSC through a known frequency ratio. The ART is routed to devices on the system and is used to precisely and simultaneously capture the device clock with the ART.

time: Remove duplicated code in ktime_get_raw_and_real()

2016-03-03T01:13:02+00:00

The code in ktime_get_snapshot() is a superset of the code in ktime_get_raw_and_real() code. Further, ktime_get_raw_and_real() is called only by the PPS code, pps_get_ts(). Consolidate the pps_get_ts() code into a single function calling ktime_get_snapshot() and eliminate ktime_get_raw_and_real(). A side effect of this is that the raw and real results of pps_get_ts() correspond to exactly the same clock cycle. Previously these values represented separate reads of the system clock.

time: Add timekeeping snapshot code capturing system time and counter

2016-03-03T01:12:50+00:00

In the current timekeeping code there isn't any interface to atomically capture the current relationship between the system counter and system time. ktime_get_snapshot() returns this triple (counter, monotonic raw, realtime) in the system_time_snapshot struct.

time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation

2016-03-03T01:08:54+00:00

The timekeeping code does not currently provide a way to translate externally provided clocksource cycles to system time. The cycle count is always provided by the result clocksource read() method internal to the timekeeping code. The added function timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() calculated a nanosecond value from a cycle count that can be added to tk_read_base.base value yielding the current system time. This allows clocksource cycle values external to the timekeeping code to provide a cycle count that can be transformed to system time.
