During early boot enable tsc_calibrate_cpu_early() and switch to
tsc_calibrate_cpu() only later. Do this unconditionally, because it is
unknown what methods other cpus will use to calibrate once they are
onlined.
If by the time tsc_init() is called tsc frequency is still unknown do only
pit_hpet_ptimer_calibrate_cpu() to calibrate, as this function contains the
only methods wich have not been called and tried earlier.

During early boot TSC and CPU frequency can be calibrated using MSR, CPUID,
and quick PIT calibration methods. The other methods PIT/HPET/PMTIMER are
available only after ACPI is initialized.
Split native_calibrate_cpu() into early and late parts so they can be
called separately during early and late tsc calibration.

All prerequesites for enabling TSC as sched clock early in the boot
process are available now:
- Early attempt of TSC calibration
- Early availablity of static branch patching
If TSC frequency can be established in the early calibration, enable the
static key which switches sched clock to use TSC.

cyc2ns converts tsc to nanoseconds, and it is handled in a per-cpu data
structure.
Currently, the setup code for c2ns data for every possible CPU goes through
the same sequence of calculations as for the boot CPU, but is based on the
same tsc frequency as the boot CPU, and thus this is not necessary.
Initialize the boot cpu when tsc frequency is determined. Copy the
calculated data from the boot CPU to the other CPUs in tsc_init().
In addition do the following:
- Remove unnecessary zeroing of c2ns data by removing cyc2ns_data_init()
- Split set_cyc2ns_scale() into two functions, so set_cyc2ns_scale() can be
called when system is up, and wraps around __set_cyc2ns_scale() that can
be called directly when system is booting but avoids saving restoring
IRQs and going and waking up from idle.

During boot tsc is calibrated twice: once in tsc_early_delay_calibrate(),
and the second time in tsc_init().
Rename tsc_early_delay_calibrate() to tsc_early_init(), and rework it so
the calibration is done only early, and make tsc_init() to use the values
already determined in tsc_early_init().
Sometimes it is not possible to determine tsc early, as the subsystem that
is required is not yet initialized, in such case try again later in
tsc_init().

Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by
sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from
accessing tsc in other places.
The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on
multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus
exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC
as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock()
implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just
fine.
However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with
tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and
just excludes it from timekeeping.
So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the
parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

mark_tsc_unstable() also needs to affect tsc_early, Now that
clocksource_mark_unstable() can be used on a clocksource irrespective of
its registration state, use it on both tsc_early and tsc.
This does however require cs->list to be initialized empty, otherwise it
cannot tell the registation state before registation.

Don't leave the tsc-early clocksource registered if it errors out
early.
This was reported by Diego, who on his Core2 era machine got TSC
invalidated while it was running with tsc-early (due to C-states).
This results in keeping tsc-early with very bad effects.

The TSC calibration code uses HPET as reference. The conversion normalizes
the delta of two HPET timestamps:
hpetref = ((tshpet1 - tshpet2) * HPET_PERIOD) / 1e6
and then divides the normalized delta of the corresponding TSC timestamps
by the result to calulate the TSC frequency.
tscfreq = ((tstsc1 - tstsc2 ) * 1e6) / hpetref
This uses do_div() which takes an u32 as the divisor, which worked so far
because the HPET frequency was low enough that 'hpetref' never exceeded
32bit.
On Skylake machines the HPET frequency increased so 'hpetref' can exceed
32bit. do_div() truncates the divisor, which causes the calibration to
fail.
Use div64_u64() to avoid the problem.

Device drivers use get_device_system_crosststamp() to produce precise
system/device cross-timestamps. The PHC clock and ALSA interfaces, for
example, make the cross-timestamps available to user applications. On
Intel platforms, get_device_system_crosststamp() requires a TSC value
derived from ART (Always Running Timer) to compute the monotonic raw and
realtime system timestamps.
Starting with Intel Goldmont platforms, the PCIe root complex supports the
PTM time sync protocol. PTM requires all timestamps to be in units of
nanoseconds. The Intel root complex hardware propagates system time derived
from ART in units of nanoseconds performing the conversion as follows:
ART_NS = ART * 1e9 / <crystal frequency>
When user software requests a cross-timestamp, the system timestamps
(generally read from device registers) must be converted to TSC by the
driver software as follows:
TSC = ART_NS * TSC_KHZ / 1e6
This is valid when CPU feature flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ is set
indicating that tsc_khz is derived from CPUID[15H]. Drivers should check
whether this flag is set before conversion to TSC is attempted.

Without TSC_KNOWN_FREQ the TSC clocksource is registered so late that the
kernel first switches to the HPET. Using HPET on large CPU count machines is
undesirable.
Therefore register a tsc-early clocksource using the preliminary tsc_khz
from quick calibration. Then when the final TSC calibration is done, it
can switch to the tuned frequency.
The only notably problem is that the real tsc clocksource must be marked
with CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, otherwise it will not be selected when
unregistering tsc-early. tsc-early cannot be left registered, because then
the clocksource code would fall back to it when we tsc clocksource is
marked unstable later.

Zhang Rui reported that a Surface Pro 4 will fail to boot with
lapic=notscdeadline. Part of the problem is that that machine doesn't have
a PIT.
If, for some reason, the TSC init has to fall back to TSC calibration, it
relies on the PIT to be present.
Allow TSC calibration to reliably fall back to HPET.
The below results in an accurate TSC measurement when forced on a IVB:

The INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_X hardcoded crystal_khz value of 25MHZ is
problematic:
- SKX workstations (with same model # as server variants) use a 24 MHz
crystal. This results in a -4.0% time drift rate on SKX workstations.
- SKX servers subject the crystal to an EMI reduction circuit that reduces its
actual frequency by (approximately) -0.25%. This results in -1 second per
10 minute time drift as compared to network time.
This issue can also trigger a timer and power problem, on configurations
that use the LAPIC timer (versus the TSC deadline timer). Clock ticks
scheduled with the LAPIC timer arrive a few usec before the time they are
expected (according to the slow TSC). This causes Linux to poll-idle, when
it should be in an idle power saving state. The idle and clock code do not
graciously recover from this error, sometimes resulting in significant
polling and measurable power impact.
Stop using native_calibrate_tsc() for INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_X.
native_calibrate_tsc() will return 0, boot will run with tsc_khz = cpu_khz,
and the TSC refined calibration will update tsc_khz to correct for the
difference.

If the crystal frequency cannot be determined via CPUID(15).crystal_khz or
the built-in table then native_calibrate_tsc() will still set the
X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag which prevents the refined TSC calibration.
As a consequence such systems use cpu_khz for the TSC frequency which is
incorrect when cpu_khz != tsc_khz resulting in time drift.
Return early when the crystal frequency cannot be retrieved without setting
the X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag. This ensures that the refined TSC
calibration is invoked.

If the TSC has constant frequency then the delay calibration can be skipped
when it has been calibrated for a package already. This is checked in
calibrate_delay_is_known(), but that function is buggy in two aspects:
It returns 'false' if
(!tsc_disabled && !cpu_has(&cpu_data(cpu), X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC)
which is obviously the reverse of the intended check and the check for the
sibling mask cannot work either because the topology links have not been
set up yet.
Correct the condition and move the call to set_cpu_sibling_map() before
invoking calibrate_delay() so the sibling check works correctly.

But, this function is actually related to TSC, so it should be maintained

x86/apic: Change the lapic name in deadline mode
|
|
tsc_clocksource_reliable is initialized in check_system_tsc_reliable(), but
it is checked in unsynchronized_tsc() which is called before the
initialization.
In practice that's not an issue because systems which mark the TSC
reliable have X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC set as well, which is evaluated
in unsynchronized_tsc() before tsc_clocksource_reliable.
Reorder the calls so initialization happens before usage.

The newly introduced wrapper function only has one caller,
and this one is conditional, causing a harmless warning when
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is disabled:
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c:189:13: error: 'set_cyc2ns_scale' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
My first idea was to move the wrapper inside of that #ifdef,
but on second thought it seemed nicer to remove it completely
again and rename __set_cyc2ns_scale back to set_cyc2ns_scale,
but leaving the extra argument.

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.

Since the clocksource watchdog will only detect broken TSC after the
fact, all TSC based clocks will likely have observed non-continuous
values before/when switching away from TSC.
Therefore only thing to fully avoid random clock movement when your
BIOS randomly mucks with TSC values from SMI handlers is reporting the
TSC as unstable at boot.

Subhransu reported that convert_art_to_tsc() isn't working for him.
The ART to TSC relation is only set up for systems which use the refined
TSC calibration. Systems with known TSC frequency (available via CPUID 15)
are not using the refined calibration and therefor the ART to TSC relation
is never established.
Add the setup to the known frequency init path which skips ART
calibration. The init code needs to be duplicated as for systems which use
refined calibration the ART setup must be delayed until calibration has
been done.
The problem has been there since the ART support was introdduced, but only
detected now because Subhransu tested the first time on hardware which has
TSC frequency enumerated via CPUID 15.
Note for stable: The conditional has changed from TSC_RELIABLE to
TSC_KNOWN_FREQUENCY.

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:
acb04058de49 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")
... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.
The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.
Solve this by doing two things:
- tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
state for the normal (!paravirt) case.
- only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
when we use native_sched_clock().
The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:
12907fbb1a69 ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")
... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

Olof reported that on a machine which has a BIOS wreckaged TSC the
timestamps in dmesg are making a large jump because the TSC value is
jumping forward after resetting the TSC ADJUST register to a sane value.
This can be avoided by calling the TSC ADJUST saniziting function before
initializing the per cpu sched clock machinery. That takes the offset into
account and avoid the time jump.
What cannot be avoided is that the 'Firmware Bug' warnings on the secondary
CPUs are printed with the large time offsets because it would be too much
effort and ugly hackery to print those warnings into a buffer and emit them
after the adjustemt on the starting CPUs. It's a firmware bug and should be
fixed in firmware. The weird timestamps are collateral damage and just
illustrate the sillyness of the BIOS folks:

Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which
completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with
random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the
TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails.
Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust
the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine
just stops booting.
Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to
the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an
interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer.
This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware
wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other
systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer.
While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which
moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the
described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps
the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for
the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but
despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised
immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies
silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed.
Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as
expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the
adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis.
Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and
the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to
wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT!
To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures:
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0
- Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative
TSC_ADJUST values.

The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful
in a two aspects:
1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the
cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at
SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the
point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and
eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no
watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and
acted upon.
2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST
value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization
check fails.
The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes
online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the
same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests
because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU
in a package.
In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value
even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is
not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has
to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running
packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs
which got powered earlier.
A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs
accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't
help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages,
but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later.
The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting
CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same
package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference
value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

Software calibration is already disabled via the TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag, but

The X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flag in Linux kernel implies both reliable
(at runtime) and trustable (at calibration). But reliable running and
trustable calibration independent of each other.
Add a new flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ, which denotes that the frequency
is known (via MSR/CPUID). This flag is only meant to skip the long term
calibration on systems which have a known frequency.
Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ to the skip the delayed calibration and
leave X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE in place.
After converting the existing users of X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE to use
either both flags or just X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ we can seperate the
functionality.
