timekeeping: Split jiffies seqlock

2020-03-21T15:00:23+00:00

seqlock consists of a sequence counter and a spinlock_t which is used to
serialize the writers. spinlock_t is substituted by a "sleeping" spinlock
on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels which breaks the usage in the timekeeping
code as the writers are executed in hard interrupt and therefore
non-preemptible context even on PREEMPT_RT.

The spinlock in seqlock cannot be unconditionally replaced by a
raw_spinlock_t as many seqlock users have nesting spinlock sections or
other code which is not suitable to run in truly atomic context on RT.

Instead of providing a raw_seqlock API for a single use case, open code the
seqlock for the jiffies use case and implement it with a raw_spinlock_t and
a sequence counter.

Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2019-05-06T21:50:46+00:00

Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This cycle had the following changes:

   - Timer tracing improvements (Anna-Maria Gleixner)

   - Continued tasklet reduction work: remove the hrtimer_tasklet
     (Thomas Gleixner)

   - Fix CPU hotplug remove race in the tick-broadcast mask handling
     code (Thomas Gleixner)

   - Force upper bound for setting CLOCK_REALTIME, to fix ABI
     inconsistencies with handling values that are close to the maximum
     supported and the vagueness of when uptime related wraparound might
     occur. Make the consistent maximum the year 2232 across all
     relevant ABIs and APIs. (Thomas Gleixner)

   - various cleanups and smaller fixes"

  timer/trace: Improve timer tracing
  timer/trace: Replace deprecated vsprintf pointer extension %pf by %ps
  timer: Move trace point to get proper index
  tick/sched: Update tick_sched struct documentation
  tick: Remove outgoing CPU from broadcast masks
  timekeeping: Consistently use unsigned int for seqcount snapshot
  softirq: Remove tasklet_hrtimer
  xfrm: Replace hrtimer tasklet with softirq hrtimer

timekeeping: Consistently use unsigned int for seqcount snapshot

2019-03-23T10:43:56+00:00

The timekeeping code uses a random mix of "unsigned long" and "unsigned
int" for the seqcount snapshots (ratio 14:12). Since the seqlock.h API is
entirely based on unsigned int, use that throughout.

time: Remove license boilerplate

time: Add SPDX license identifiers

2018-11-23T10:51:20+00:00

Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the
full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate
Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license
scanners and manual inspection.

The following files do not contain any direct license information and have
been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes:

  timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched
  time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the
project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

time: Remove useless filenames in top level comments

2018-11-23T10:51:20+00:00

Remove the pointless filenames in the top level comments. They have no
value at all and just occupy space. While at it tidy up some of the
comments and remove a stale one.

jiffies: Revert bogus conversion of NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC

2017-03-07T10:03:28+00:00

commit 93825f2ec736 converted NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC because the author
confused NSEC_PER_JIFFY with NSEC_PER_SEC.

As a result, the calculation of refined jiffies got broken, triggering
lockups.

jiffies: Reuse TICK_NSEC instead of NSEC_PER_JIFFY

2017-02-01T08:13:45+00:00

NSEC_PER_JIFFY is an ad-hoc redefinition of TICK_NSEC. Let's rather
use a unique and well maintained version.

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.

Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

@rem@

-typedef u64 cycle_t;

@fix@
typedef cycle_t;

-cycle_t
