2017-05-15x86/tsc, sched/clock, clocksource: Use clocksource watchdog to provide ↵Peter Zijlstra1-0/+3
stable sync points Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked. So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've found it to still be stable. There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock values. And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an optimization.

2016-12-07clocksource: export the clocks_calc_mult_shift to use by timestamp codeMurali Karicheri1-0/+1
The CPSW CPTS driver is capable of doing timestamping on tx/rx packets and requires to know mult and shift factors for timestamp conversion from raw value to nanoseconds (ptp clock). Now these mult and shift factors are calculated manually and provided through DT, which makes very hard to support of a lot number of platforms, especially if CPTS refclk is not the same for some kind of boards and depends on efuse settings (Keystone 2 platforms). Hence, export clocks_calc_mult_shift() to allow drivers like CPSW CPTS (and other ptp drivesr) to benefit from automaitc calculation of mult and shift factors.

2016-09-01clocksource: Defer override invalidation unless clock is unstableKyle Walker1-3/+12
Clocksources don't get the VALID_FOR_HRES flag until they have been checked by a watchdog. However, when using an override, the clocksource_select logic will clear the override value if the clocksource is not marked VALID_FOR_HRES during that inititial check. When using the boot arguments clocksource=<foo>, this selection can run before the watchdog, and can cause the override to be incorrectly cleared. To address this condition, the override_name is only invalidated for unstable clocksources. Otherwise, the override is left intact until after the watchdog has validated the clocksource as stable/unstable.

2015-03-13clocksource: Improve clocksource watchdog reportingJohn Stultz1-9/+9
The clocksource watchdog reporting has been less helpful then desired, as it just printed the delta between the two clocksources. This prevents any useful analysis of why the skew occurred. Thus this patch tries to improve the output when we mark a clocksource as unstable, printing out the cycle last and now values for both the current clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. This will allow us to see if the result was due to a false positive caused by a problematic watchdog.

2015-03-12clocksource: Simplify the logic around clocksource wrapping safety marginsJohn Stultz1-14/+12
The clocksource logic has a number of places where we try to include a safety margin. Most of these are 12% safety margins, but they are inconsistently applied and sometimes are applied on top of each other. Additionally, in the previous patch, we corrected an issue where we unintentionally in effect created a 50% safety margin, which these 12.5% margins where then added to. So to simplify the logic here, this patch removes the various 12.5% margins, and consolidates adding the margin in one place: clocks_calc_max_nsecs(). Additionally, Linus prefers a 50% safety margin, as it allows bad clock values to be more easily caught. This should really have no net effect, due to the corrected issue earlier which caused greater then 50% margins to be used w/o issue.

The previous clocks_calc_max_nsecs() code had some unecessarily complex bit logic to find the max interval that could cause multiplication overflows. Since this is not in the hot path, just do the divide to make it easier to read. The previous implementation also had a subtle issue that it avoided overflows with signed 64-bit values, where as the intervals are always unsigned. This resulted in overly conservative intervals, which other safety margins were then added to, reducing the intended interval length.

2013-07-05clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capabilityThomas Gleixner1-15/+42
Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability) we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already switched to highres/nohz mode. The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process looks like this: tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC); clocksource_register(HPET); clocksource_done_booting(); clocksource_select() Selects HPET which is valid for high-res switch_to_highres(); clocksource_register(TSC); TSC is not selected, because it is not yet flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES clocksource_watchdog() Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC the current clocksource. Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable, then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again. The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid high res clocksource. To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set. To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread(). So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex unlock/relock dance.

Unbind is available from the kernel and through sysfs, which is necessary to drop the module refcount.

The unregister call can fail, if the clocksource is the current one and there is no replacement clocksource available.

2013-05-16clocksource: Provide unbind interface in sysfsThomas Gleixner1-0/+73
With the module refcount held for the current clocksource there is no way to unload the module. Provide a sysfs interface which allows to unbind the clocksource. One could argue that the clocksource override could be (ab)used to do so, but the clocksource override cannot be used from the kernel itself, while an unbind function can be used to programmatically check whether a clocksource can be shutdown or not. The unbind functionality uses the new skip current feature of clocksource_select and verifies that a fallback clocksource has been installed. If the clocksource which should be unbound is the current clocksource and no fallback can be found, unbind returns -EBUSY. This does not support the unbinding of a clocksource which is used as the watchdog clocksource. No point in fostering crappy hardware.

If a clocksource has a (wrong) high rating, but can't be used as a timebase for oneshot tick mode, it is unconditionally selected even when the system is already in oneshot tick mode. This causes full system failure. Verify the clocksource selection against the oneshot mode.

2011-11-10clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjustedJohn Stultz1-10/+48
For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> CC: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> CC: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> Reported-by: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Tested-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2011-09-13clocksource: Make watchdog reset locklessThomas Gleixner1-20/+18
KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes unstable. We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through a full update cycle.

2011-06-16clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruptionThomas Gleixner1-11/+13
The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that.
