timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() computation

2016-08-09T07:31:55+00:00

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() routine is not properly
canceling the sched timer when nothing is pending, because
get_next_timer_interrupt() is no longer returning KTIME_MAX in
that case.  This causes periodic interrupts when none are needed.

When determining the next interrupt time, we first use
__next_timer_interrupt() to get the first expiring timer in the
timer wheel.  If no timer is found, we return the base clock value
plus NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA to indicate there is no timer in the
timer wheel.

Back in get_next_timer_interrupt(), we set the "expires" value
by converting the timer wheel expiry (in ticks) to a nsec value.
But we don't want to do this if the timer wheel expiry value
indicates no timer; we want to return KTIME_MAX.

Prior to commit 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading
wheel") we checked base->active_timers to see if any timers
were active, and if not, we didn't touch the expiry value and so
properly returned KTIME_MAX.  Now we don't have active_timers.

To fix this, we now just check the timer wheel expiry value to
see if it is "now + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA", and if it is, we don't
try to compute a new value based on it, but instead simply let the
KTIME_MAX value in expires remain.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides the following changes:

   - The rework of the timer wheel which addresses the shortcomings of
     the current wheel (cascading, slow search for next expiring timer,
     etc).  That's the first major change of the wheel in almost 20
     years since Finn implemted it.

   - A large overhaul of the clocksource drivers init functions to
     consolidate the Device Tree initialization

   - Some more Y2038 updates

   - A capability fix for timerfd

   - Yet another clock chip driver

   - The usual pile of updates, comment improvements all over the place"

tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter

2016-07-19T11:48:24+00:00

tick_nohz_start_idle is called before checking whether the idle tick can be
stopped. If the tick cannot be stopped, calling tick_nohz_start_idle() is
pointless and just wasting CPU cycles.

Only invoke tick_nohz_start_idle() when can_stop_idle_tick() returns true. A
short one minute observation of the effect on ARM64 shows a reduction of calls
by 1.5% thus optimizing the idle entry sequence.

clockevents: Make clockevents_subsys static

2016-07-19T08:48:06+00:00

The clockevents_subsys struct is used for sysfs support and
is not declared or used outside the file it is defined in.
Fix the following warning by making it static:

kernel/time/clockevents.c:648:17: warning: symbol 'clockevents_subsys' was not declared. Should it be static?

timers/core: Convert to hotplug state machine

2016-07-15T08:41:42+00:00

When tearing down, call timers_dead_cpu() before notify_dead().
There is a hidden dependency between:

 - timers
 - block multiqueue
 - rcutree

If timers_dead_cpu() comes later than blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify()
that latter function causes a RCU stall.

hrtimer: Convert to hotplug state machine

2016-07-15T08:41:37+00:00

Split out the clockevents callbacks instead of piggybacking them on
hrtimers.

This gets rid of a POST_DEAD user. See commit:

  54e88fad223c ("sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread")

We just move the callback state to the proper place in the state machine.

posix_cpu_timer: Exit early when process has been reaped

2016-07-11T15:20:12+00:00

Variable "now" seems to be genuinely used unintialized
if branch

	if (CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD(timer->it_clock)) {

is not taken and branch

	if (unlikely(sighand == NULL)) {

is taken. In this case the process has been reaped and the timer is marked as
disarmed anyway. So none of the postprocessing of the sample is
required. Return right away.
