time: Avoid scary backtraces when warning of > 11% adj

2012-03-23T23:25:16+00:00

Folks have been getting a number of warnings about time
adjustments > 11%. The WARN_ON leaves a big useless backtrace
so this patch removes it for a printk_once().

I'm still working to narrow down the cause of the > 11% adjustment.

ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock

2012-03-23T02:43:43+00:00

Since commit 7dffa3c673fbcf835cd7be80bb4aec8ad3f51168 the ntp
subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond
adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock.

Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern:
CPU 0                                                    CPU 1
do_adjtimex()
  spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock);
    process_adjtimex_modes();				 timer_interrupt()
      process_adj_status();                                do_timer()
        ntp_start_leap_timer();                             write_lock(&xtime_lock);
          hrtimer_start();                                  update_wall_time();
             hrtimer_reprogram();                            ntp_tick_length()
               tick_program_event()                            spin_lock(&ntp_lock);
                 clockevents_program_event()
		   ktime_get()
                     seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock);

This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using
an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond
processing in the second_overflow() function.

The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres
timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary,
(ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ)  after the leap second instead of
possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic).

This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

time: Fix change_clocksource locking

2012-03-16T01:17:54+00:00

change_clocksource() fails to grab locks or call timekeeping_update(),
which leaves a race window for time inconsistencies.

This adds proper locking and a call to timekeeping_update() to fix this.

Merge commit 'v3.3-rc6' into next

2012-03-09T18:55:17+00:00

Input: add infrastructure for selecting clockid for event time stamps

2012-02-03T08:24:58+00:00

As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is
difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event
occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed.

However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be
changed without possibly breaking existing users.

This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the
evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event
timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME).

For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but
in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate.

The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.
