timekeeping: Remove CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD

2017-11-14T10:20:25+00:00

As of d4d1fc61eb38f (ia64: Update fsyscall gettime to use modern
vsyscall_update)the last user of CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
have been updated, the legacy support for old-style vsyscall
implementations can be removed from the timekeeping code.

(Thanks again to Tony Luck for helping remove the last user!)

pstore: Use ktime_get_real_fast_ns() instead of __getnstimeofday()

2017-11-12T14:05:52+00:00

__getnstimeofday() is a rather odd interface, with a number of quirks:

- 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.

Merge branch 'fortglx/4.15/time' of https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/linux into timers/core

2017-10-31T22:17:28+00:00

Pull timekeeping updates from John Stultz:

 - More y2038 work from Arnd Bergmann

 - A new mechanism to allow RTC drivers to specify the resolution of the
   RTC so the suspend/resume code can make informed decisions whether to
   inject the suspended time or not in case of fast suspend/resume cycles.

timekeeping: Use timespec64 in timekeeping_inject_offset

2017-10-30T22:14:17+00:00

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.

timekeeping: Consolidate timekeeping_inject_offset code

2017-10-30T22:13:35+00:00

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().

timekeeping: Provide NMI safe access to clock realtime

2017-09-25T19:05:59+00:00

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.

timekeeping: Make fast accessors return 0 before timekeeping is initialized

2017-09-25T19:05:59+00:00

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.

Initialize the fast timekeepers with dummy clocks which guarantee a 0
readout up to timekeeping_init().

drivers/pps: aesthetic tweaks to PPS-related content

2017-09-09T01:26:51+00:00

Collection of aesthetic adjustments to various PPS-related files,
directories and Documentation, some quite minor just for the sake of
consistency, including:

 * Updated example of pps device tree node (courtesy Rodolfo G.)
 * "PPS-API" -> "PPS API"
 * "pps_source_info_s" -> "pps_source_info"
 * "ktimer driver" -> "pps-ktimer driver"
 * "ppstest /dev/pps0" -> "ppstest /dev/pps1" to match example
 * Add missing PPS-related entries to MAINTAINERS file
 * Other trivialities

time: Fix ktime_get_raw() incorrect base accumulation

2017-08-26T14:06:12+00:00

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.
