On arches with no persistent clock a message like this is printed during
boot:
[ 0.000000] Persistent clock returned invalid value
The value is not invalid: Zero means that no persistent clock is available
and the absence of persistent clock should be quietly accepted.

On some hardware with multiple clocksources, we have coarse grained
clocksources that support the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag, but
which are less than ideal for timekeeping whereas other clocksources
can be better candidates but halt on suspend.
Currently, the timekeeping core only supports timing suspend using
CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksources if that clocksource is the
current clocksource for timekeeping.
As a result, some architectures try to implement read_persistent_clock64()
using those non-stop clocksources, but isn't really ideal, which will
introduce more duplicate code. To fix this, provide logic to allow a
registered SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksource, which isn't the current
clocksource, to be used to calculate the suspend time.

Currently, there exists a corner case assuming when there is
only one clocksource e.g RTC, and system failed to go to
suspend mode. While resume rtc_resume() injects the sleeptime
as timekeeping_rtc_skipresume() returned 'false' (default value
of sleeptime_injected) due to which we can see mismatch in
timestamps.
This issue can also come in a system where more than one
clocksource are present and very first suspend fails.
Success case:
------------
{sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend() => timekeeping_suspend() => timekeeping_resume() =>
(sleeptime injected)
rtc_resume()
Failure case:
------------
{failure in sleep path} {sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend() => rtc_resume()
{sleeptime injected again which was not required as the suspend failed}
Fix this by handling the boolean logic properly.

read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset() is called during boot to read
both the persistent clock and also return the offset between the boot time
and the value of persistent clock.
Change the default boot_offset from zero to local_clock() so architectures,
that do not have a dedicated boot_clock but have early sched_clock(), such
as SPARCv9, x86, and possibly more will benefit from this change by getting
a better and more consistent estimate of the boot time without need for an
arch specific implementation.

read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset()
If architecture does not support exact boot time, it is challenging to
estimate boot time without having a reference to the current persistent
clock value. Yet, it cannot read the persistent clock time again, because
this may lead to math discrepancies with the caller of read_boot_clock64()
who have read the persistent clock at a different time.
This is why it is better to provide two values simultaneously: the
persistent clock value, and the boot time.
Replace read_boot_clock64() with:
read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(wall_time, boot_offset)
Where wall_time is returned by read_persistent_clock() And boot_offset is
wall_time - boot time, which defaults to 0.

Pull timekeeping updates from John Stultz:
- Make the timekeeping update more precise when NTP frequency is set
directly by updating the multiplier.
- Adjust selftests
|
|
When the NTP frequency is set directly from userspace using the
ADJ_FREQUENCY or ADJ_TICK timex mode, immediately update the
timekeeper's multiplier instead of waiting for the next tick.
This removes a hidden non-deterministic delay in setting of the
frequency and allows an extremely tight control of the system clock
with update rates close to or even exceeding the kernel HZ.
The update is limited to archs using modern timekeeping
(!ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET).

I have run into a couple of drivers using current_kernel_time()
suffering from the y2038 problem, and they could be converted
to using ktime_t, but don't have interfaces that skip the nanosecond
calculation at the moment.
This introduces ktime_get_coarse_with_offset() as a simpler
variant of ktime_get_with_offset(), and adds wrappers for the
three time domains we support with the existing function.

In a move to make ktime_get_*() the preferred driver interface into the
timekeeping code, sanitizes ktime_get_real_ts64() to be a proper exported
symbol rather than an alias for getnstimeofday64().
The internal __getnstimeofday64() is no longer used, so remove that
and merge it into ktime_get_real_ts64().

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.
As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:
* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]
* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
(Mike Galbraith).
* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.]
* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
system resume (Pavel).
* Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]
That happens on debian and open suse systems.
It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on
resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the
MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux
implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies have never been advanced after resume.
At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the
MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing
interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding
was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read
time since boot.
Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock
behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies.
As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies
anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by
forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume
before the tick is restarted,
In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the
offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the
time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time
spent in suspend.
The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between
the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend.
There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the
(unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the
downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse.
There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time
spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the
BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced
mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that
in a detectable fashion.

The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
non-suspended time of a system.
Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().
This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.
This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.

When the length of the NTP tick changes significantly, e.g. when an
NTP/PTP application is correcting the initial offset of the clock, a
large value may accumulate in the NTP error before the multiplier
converges to the correct value. It may then take a very long time (hours
or even days) before the error is corrected. This causes the clock to
have an unstable frequency offset, which has a negative impact on the
stability of synchronization with precise time sources (e.g. NTP/PTP
using hardware timestamping or the PTP KVM clock).
Use division to determine the correct multiplier directly from the NTP
tick length and replace the iterative approach. This removes the last
major source of the NTP error. The only remaining source is now limited
resolution of the multiplier, which is corrected by adding 1 to the
multiplier when the system clock is behind the NTP time.

When the timekeeping multiplier is changed, the NTP error is updated to
correct the clock for the delay between the tick and the update of the
clock. This error is corrected in later updates and the clock appears as
if the frequency was changed exactly on the tick.
Remove this correction to keep the point where the frequency is
effectively changed at the time of the update. This removes a major
source of the NTP error.

- The caller may come from NMI context, but the implementation is not NMI safe,
one way to get there from NMI is
NMI handler:
something bad
panic()
kmsg_dump()
pstore_dump()
pstore_record_init()
__getnstimeofday()
- The calling conventions are different from any other timekeeping functions,
to deal with returning an error code during suspended timekeeping.
Address the above issues by using a completely different method to get the
time: ktime_get_real_fast_ns() is NMI safe and has a reasonable behavior
when timekeeping is suspended: it returns the time at which it got
suspended. As Thomas Gleixner explained, this is safe, as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does not call into the clocksource driver that
might be suspended.
The result can easily be transformed into a timespec structure. Since
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() was not exported to modules, add the export.
The pstore behavior for the suspended case changes slightly, as it now
stores the timestamp at which timekeeping was suspended instead of storing
a zero timestamp.
This change is not addressing y2038-safety, that's subject to a more
complex follow up patch.

- More y2038 work from Arnd Bergmann
- A new mechanism to allow RTC drivers to specify the resolution of the

As part of changing all the timekeeping code to use 64-bit
time_t consistently, this removes the uses of timeval
and timespec as much as possible from do_adjtimex() and
timekeeping_inject_offset(). The timeval_inject_offset_valid()
and timespec_inject_offset_valid() just complicate this,
so I'm folding them into the respective callers.
This leaves the actual 'struct timex' definition, which
is part of the user-space ABI and should be dealt with
separately when we have agreed on the ABI change.

The code to check the adjtimex() or clock_adjtime() arguments is spread
out across multiple files for presumably only historic reasons. As a
preparatation for a rework to get rid of the use of 'struct timeval'
and 'struct timespec' in there, this moves all the portions into
kernel/time/timekeeping.c and marks them as 'static'.
The warp_clock() function here is not as closely related as the others,
but I feel it still makes sense to move it here in order to consolidate
all callers of timekeeping_inject_offset().

The configurable printk timestamping wants access to clock realtime. Right
now there is no ktime_get_real_fast_ns() accessor because reading the
monotonic base and the realtime offset cannot be done atomically. Contrary
to boot time this offset can change during runtime and cause half updated
readouts.
struct tk_read_base was fully packed when the fast timekeeper access was
implemented. commit ceea5e3771ed ("time: Fix clock->read(clock) race around
clocksource changes") removed the 'read' function pointer from the
structure, but of course left the comment stale.
So now the structure can fit a new 64bit member w/o violating the cache
line constraints.
Add real_base to tk_read_base and update it in the fast timekeeper update
sequence.
Implement an accessor which follows the same scheme as the accessor to
clock monotonic, but uses the new real_base to access clock real time.
The runtime overhead for updating real_base is minimal as it just adds two
cache hot values and stores them into an already dirtied cache line along
with the other fast timekeeper updates.

printk timestamps will be extended to include mono and boot time by using
the fast timekeeping accessors ktime_get_mono|boot_fast_ns(). The
functions can return garbage before timekeeping is initialized resulting in
garbage timestamps.

In comqit fc6eead7c1e2 ("time: Clean up CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time
handling"), the following code got mistakenly added to the update of the
raw timekeeper:
/* Update the monotonic raw base */
seconds = tk->raw_sec;
nsec = (u32)(tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec >> tk->tkr_raw.shift);
tk->tkr_raw.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec);
Which adds the raw_sec value and the shifted down raw xtime_nsec to the
base value.
But the read function adds the shifted down tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec value
another time, The result of this is that ktime_get_raw() users (which are
all internal users) see the raw time move faster then it should (the rate
at which can vary with the current size of tkr_raw.xtime_nsec), which has
resulted in at least problems with graphics rendering performance.
The change tried to match the monotonic base update logic:
seconds = (u64)(tk->xtime_sec + tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec);
nsec = (u32) tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec;
tk->tkr_mono.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec);
Which adds the wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec value, but not the
tk->tkr_mono.xtime_nsec value to the base.
To fix this, simplify the tkr_raw.base accumulation to only accumulate the
raw_sec portion, and do not include the tkr_raw.xtime_nsec portion, which
will be added at read time.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING is enabled the timekeeping_check_update()
function will update status like last_warning and underflow_seen on the
timekeeper.
If there are issues found this state is used to rate limit the warnings
that get printed.
This rate limiting doesn't really really work if stored in real_tk as
the shadow timekeeper is overwritten onto real_tk at the end of every
update_wall_time() call, resetting last_warning and other statuses.
Fix rate limiting by using the shadow_timekeeper for
timekeeping_check_update().

Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.
This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
the issue for in-kernel users.
Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:
u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask;
}
This is called from the core timekeeping code via:
cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock);
tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well.
If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read
and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.
This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:
now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock);
Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.
Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.

The clocksource delta to nanoseconds conversion is using signed math, but
the delta is unsigned. This makes the conversion space smaller than
necessary and in case of a multiplication overflow the conversion can
become negative. The conversion is done with scaled math:
s64 nsec_delta = ((s64)clkdelta * clk->mult) >> clk->shift;
Shifting a signed integer right obvioulsy preserves the sign, which has
interesting consequences:
- Time jumps backwards
- __iter_div_u64_rem() which is used in one of the calling code pathes
will take forever to piecewise calculate the seconds/nanoseconds part.
This has been reported by several people with different scenarios:
David observed that when stopping a VM with a debugger:
"It was essentially the stopped by debugger case. I forget exactly why,
but the guest was being explicitly stopped from outside, it wasn't just
scheduling lag. I think it was something in the vicinity of 10 minutes
stopped."
When lifting the stop the machine went dead.
The stopped by debugger case is not really interesting, but nevertheless it
would be a good thing not to die completely.
But this was also observed on a live system by Liav:
"When the OS is too overloaded, delta will get a high enough value for the
msb of the sum delta * tkr->mult + tkr->xtime_nsec to be set, and so
after the shift the nsec variable will gain a value similar to
0xffffffffff000000."
Unfortunately this has been reintroduced recently with commit 6bd58f09e1d8
("time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation"). It had been fixed a year
ago already in commit 35a4933a8959 ("time: Avoid signed overflow in
timekeeping_get_ns()").
Though it's not surprising that the issue has been reintroduced because the
function itself and the whole call chain uses s64 for the result and the
propagation of it. The change in this recent commit is subtle:
s64 nsec;
- nsec = (d * m + n) >> s:
+ nsec = d * m + n;
+ nsec >>= s;
d being type of cycle_t adds another level of obfuscation.
This wouldn't have happened if the previous change to unsigned computation
would have made the 'nsec' variable u64 right away and a follow up patch
had cleaned up the whole call chain.
There have been patches submitted which basically did a revert of the above
patch leaving everything else unchanged as signed. Back to square one. This
spawned a admittedly pointless discussion about potential users which rely
on the unsigned behaviour until someone pointed out that it had been fixed
before. The changelogs of said patches added further confusion as they made
finally false claims about the consequences for eventual users which expect
signed results.
Despite delta being cycle_t, aka. u64, it's very well possible to hand in
a signed negative value and the signed computation will happily return the
correct result. But nobody actually sat down and analyzed the code which
was added as user after the propably unintended signed conversion.
Though in sensitive code like this it's better to analyze it proper and
make sure that nothing relies on this than hunting the subtle wreckage half
a year later. After analyzing all call chains it stands that no caller can
hand in a negative value (which actually would work due to the s64 cast)
and rely on the signed math to do the right thing.
Change the conversion function to unsigned math. The conversion of all call
chains is done in a follow up patch.
This solves the starvation issue, which was caused by the negative result,
but it does not solve the underlying problem. It merily procrastinates
it. When the timekeeper update is deferred long enough that the unsigned
multiplication overflows, then time going backwards is observable again.
It does neither solve the issue of clocksources with a small counter width
which will wrap around possibly several times and cause random time stamps
to be generated. But those are usually not found on systems used for
virtualization, so this is likely a non issue.
I took the liberty to claim authorship for this simply because
analyzing all callsites and writing the changelog took substantially
more time than just making the simple s/s64/u64/ change and ignore the
rest.

This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for
suspend time.
To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:
(1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
earlier:
CPU 0 CPU 1
timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
__timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
timestamp();
timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);
(2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
partially updated. Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.

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:

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.
Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.
Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

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.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides the following changes:
- The rework of the timer wheel which addresses the shortcomings of
the current wheel (cascading, slow search for next expiring timer,
etc). That's the first major change of the wheel in almost 20
years since Finn implemted it.
- A large overhaul of the clocksource drivers init functions to
consolidate the Device Tree initialization
- Some more Y2038 updates
- A capability fix for timerfd
- Yet another clock chip driver
- The usual pile of updates, comment improvements all over the place"
