time/timers: Move all time(r) related files into kernel/time

2014-06-23T09:22:35+00:00

Except for Kconfig.HZ. That needs a separate treatment.

timer: Prevent overflow in apply_slack

2014-04-30T11:46:17+00:00

On architectures with sizeof(int) < sizeof (long), the
computation of mask inside apply_slack() can be undefined if the
computed bit is > 32.

E.g. with: expires = 0xffffe6f5 and slack = 25, we get:

expires_limit = 0x20000000e
bit = 33
mask = (1 << 33) - 1  /* undefined */

On x86, mask becomes 1 and and the slack is not applied properly.
On s390, mask is -1, expires is set to 0 and the timer fires immediately.

Use 1UL << bit to solve that issue.

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

2014-04-01T18:00:07+00:00

Pull timer changes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This assorted collection provides:

   - A new timer based timer broadcast feature for systems which do not
     provide a global accessible timer device.  That allows those
     systems to put CPUs into deep idle states where the per cpu timer
     device stops.

   - A few NOHZ_FULL related improvements to the timer wheel

   - The usual updates to timer devices found in ARM SoCs

   - Small improvements and updates all over the place"

timer: Remove code redundancy while calling get_nohz_timer_target()

2014-03-20T11:35:46+00:00

There are only two users of get_nohz_timer_target(): timer and hrtimer. Both
call it under same circumstances, i.e.

	#ifdef CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
	       if (!pinned && get_sysctl_timer_migration() && idle_cpu(this_cpu))
	               return get_nohz_timer_target();
	#endif

So, it makes more sense to get all this as part of get_nohz_timer_target()
instead of duplicating code at two places. For this another parameter is
required to be passed to this routine, pinned.

timer: Use variable head instead of &work_list in __run_timers()

2014-03-20T11:35:45+00:00

We already have a variable 'head' that points to '&work_list', and so
we should use that instead wherever possible.

timer: Make sure TIMER_FLAG_MASK bits are free in allocated base

2014-03-04T11:30:29+00:00

Currently we are using two lowest bit of base for internal purpose and
so they both should be zero in the allocated address. The code was
doing the right thing before this patch came in: commit c5f66e99b
(timer: Implement TIMER_IRQSAFE)

Tejun probably forgot to update this piece of code which checks if the
lowest 'n' bits are zero or not and so wasn't updated according to the
new flag. Lets use TIMER_FLAG_MASK in the calculations here.

timer: Check failure of timer_cpu_notify() before calling init_timer_stats()

2014-03-04T11:30:29+00:00

timer_cpu_notify() should return NOTIFY_OK and nothing else. Anything else would
trigger a BUG_ON(). Return value of this routine is already checked correctly
but is done after issuing a call to init_timer_stats(). The right order would be
to check the error case first and then call init_timer_stats(). Lets do it.

timers: Make internal_add_timer() update ->next_timer if ->active_timers == 0

2014-02-25T20:39:01+00:00

The internal_add_timer() function updates base->next_timer only if
timer->expires < base->next_timer. This is correct, but it also makes
sense to do the same if we add the first non-deferrable timer.

timers: Reduce future __run_timers() latency for first add to empty list

2014-02-25T20:39:00+00:00

The __run_timers() function currently steps through the list one jiffy at
a time in order to update the timer wheel.  However, if the timer wheel
is empty, no adjustment is needed other than updating ->timer_jiffies.
Therefore, just before we add a timer to an empty timer wheel, we should
mark the timer wheel as being up to date.  This marking will reduce (and
perhaps eliminate) the jiffy-stepping that a future __run_timers() call
will need to do in response to some future timer posting or migration.
This commit therefore updates ->timer_jiffies for this case.
