Pull timer changes from Thomas Gleixner: "This assorted collection provides: - A new timer based timer broadcast feature for systems which do not provide a global accessible timer device. That allows those systems to put CPUs into deep idle states where the per cpu timer device stops. - A few NOHZ_FULL related improvements to the timer wheel - The usual updates to timer devices found in ARM SoCs - Small improvements and updates all over the place" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (44 commits) tick: Remove code duplication in tick_handle_periodic() tick: Fix spelling mistake in tick_handle_periodic() x86: hpet: Use proper destructor for delayed work workqueue: Provide destroy_delayed_work_on_stack() clocksource: CMT, MTU2, TMU and STI should depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS timer: Remove code redundancy while calling get_nohz_timer_target() hrtimer: Rearrange comments in the order struct members are declared timer: Use variable head instead of &work_list in __run_timers() clocksource: exynos_mct: silence a static checker warning arm: zynq: Add support for cpufreq arm: zynq: Don't use arm_global_timer with cpufreq clocksource/cadence_ttc: Overhaul clocksource frequency adjustment clocksource/cadence_ttc: Call clockevents_update_freq() with IRQs enabled clocksource: Add Kconfig entries for CMT, MTU2, TMU and STI sh: Remove Kconfig entries for TMU, CMT and MTU2 ARM: shmobile: Remove CMT, TMU and STI Kconfig entries clocksource: armada-370-xp: Use atomic access for shared registers clocksource: orion: Use atomic access for shared registers clocksource: timer-keystone: Delete unnecessary variable clocksource: timer-keystone: introduce clocksource driver for Keystone ...

workqueue: remove deprecated WQ_NON_REENTRANT

2014-03-29T13:33:03+00:00

Tejun Heo has made WQ_NON_REENTRANT useless in the dbf2576e37 ("workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant"). So remove its usages and definition. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. tj: minor description updates. Signed-off-by: ZhangZhen Sigend-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: James Chapman Acked-by: Ulf Hansson

workqueue: Provide destroy_delayed_work_on_stack()

2014-03-25T16:33:42+00:00

If a delayed or deferrable work is on stack we need to tell debug objects that we are destroying the timer and the work. Otherwise we leak the tracking object.

workqueue: remove PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK()

2014-03-07T15:24:50+00:00

Peter Hurley noticed that since a2c1c57be8d9 ("workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items"), a work item which gets assigned a different work function would break out of the non-reentrancy guarantee as workqueue would consider it a different work item. This is fragile and extremely subtle. PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() have never been used widely and its semantics has always been somewhat iffy. If the work item is known not to be on queue when PREPARE_WORK() is called, there's no difference from using INIT_WORK(). If the work item may be queued at the time of PREPARE_WORK(), we can't really tell whether the old or new function will be executed the next time. We really don't want this level of subtlety in workqueue interface for such marginal use cases. The previous patches converted all existing users away from PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK(). Let's remove them. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Peter Hurley Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1392493119-9277-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com

workqueue: Remove deprecated __cancel_delayed_work()

2014-02-18T23:29:01+00:00

__cancel_delayed_work() was deprecated by 136b5721d75a ("workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work()") as cancel_delayed_work() was updated so that it could be used from all contexts. Enough time has passed since the deprecation. Let's remove it. tj: description update Signed-off-by: Tan Xiaojun Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

workqueue: add args to workqueue lockdep name

2014-02-14T14:05:39+00:00

Tommi noticed a 'funny' lock class name: "%s#5" from a lock acquired in process_one_work(). Maybe #fmt plus #args could be used as the lock_name to give some more information for some fmt string like the above. __builtin_constant_p() check is removed (as there seems no good way to check all the variables in args list). However, by removing the check, it only adds two additional "s for those constants. Some lockdep name examples printed out after the change: lockdep name wq->name "events_long" events_long "%s"("khelper") khelper "xfs-data/%s"mp->m_fsname xfs-data/dm-3 Signed-off-by: Li Zhong Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

drivers: avoid format strings in names passed to alloc_workqueue()

2013-07-03T23:07:41+00:00

For the workqueue creation interfaces that do not expect format strings, make sure they cannot accidently be parsed that way. Additionally, clean up calls made with a single parameter that would be handled as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.
