b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock")
allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much
as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift
have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value
32, the type must be u64.
In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps
that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of
granularity so they look like they are not changing at all.
Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly.
Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code
based on it will be more future-proof.

In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
set.
OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531
By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
fixing the problem.

When TSC is stable perf/sched clock is based on it.
However the conversion from cycles to nanoseconds
is not as accurate as it could be. Because
CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR is 10, the accuracy is +/- 1/2048
The change is to calculate the maximum shift that
results in a multiplier that is still a 32-bit number.
For example all frequencies over 1 GHz will have
a shift of 32, making the accuracy of the conversion
+/- 1/(2^33). That is achieved by using the
'clocks_calc_mult_shift()' function.

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())
The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()
This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)
- qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)
- small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

PEBSv3 has a raw TSC time stamp in its memory buffer that
later needs to to be converted to perf_clock.
Add a native_sched_clock_from_tsc() that works the same
as native_sched_clock(), but starts with an already given
TSC value.
Paravirt is ignored, it will just get the native clock.
But there isn't a para virtualized PEBS anyway.

There are two logical changes here. First, this removes a check
for cpu_has_tsc. That check is unnecessary, as we don't
register the TSC as a clocksource on systems that have no TSC.
Second, it adds a barrier, thus preventing observable
non-monotonicity.
I suspect that the missing barrier was never a problem in
practice because system calls themselves were heavy enough
barriers to prevent user code from observing time warps due to
speculation. (Without the corresponding barrier in the vDSO,
however, non-monotonicity is easy to detect.)

If it takes longer than 12us to read the PIT counter lsb/msb,
then the error margin will never fall below 500ppm within 50ms,
and Fast TSC calibration will always fail.
This patch detects when that will happen and fails fast. Note
the failure message is not printed in that case because:
1. it will always happen on that class of hardware
2. the absence of the message is more informative than its
presence

Many users see this message when booting without knowning that it is
of no importance and that TSC calibration may have succeeded by
another way.
As explained by Paul Bolle in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348488259.1436.22.camel@x61.thuisdomein
"Fast TSC calibration failed" should not be considered as an error
since other calibration methods are being tried afterward. At most,
those send a warning if they fail (not an error). So let's change
the message from error to warning.

If the TSC is unusable or disabled, then this patch fixes:
- Confusion while trying to clear old APIC interrupts.
- Division by zero and incorrect programming of the TSC deadline
timer.
This fixes boot if the CPU has a TSC deadline timer but a missing or
broken TSC. The failure to boot can be observed with qemu using
-cpu qemu64,-tsc,+tsc-deadline
This also happens to me in nested KVM for unknown reasons.
With this patch, I can boot cleanly (although without a TSC).

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most

a few obnoxious strongholds.

The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to
provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and
monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core.
We can't do the TSC specific
if (now < cycle_last)
now = cycle_last;
for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has
CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if
now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative
result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0
for that case.
Implement and enable it for x86

Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver
locked up when doing cpu hotplug.
Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier()
unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change,
instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes.
Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots
and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline,
there's no consumers to free slots.
By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz
we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

When debug preempt is enabled, preempt_disable() can be traced by
function and function graph tracing.
There's a place in the function graph tracer that calls trace_clock()
which eventually calls cycles_2_ns() outside of the recursion
protection. When cycles_2_ns() calls preempt_disable() it gets traced
and the graph tracer will go into a recursive loop causing a crash or
worse, a triple fault.
Simple fix is to use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns, which
makes sense because the preempt_disable() tracing may use that code
too, and it tracing it, even with recursion protection is rather
pointless.

Since we keep the clock value linearly continuous on frequency change,
make sure the initial multiplier is 0, such that our initial value is 0.
Without this we compute the initial value at whatever the TSC has
managed to reach since power-on.

"Improved Intel SoC platform support"
* 'x86-platform-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, tsc, apic: Unbreak static (MSR) calibration when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=n
x86, tsc: Add static (MSR) TSC calibration on Intel Atom SoCs
arch: x86: New MailBox support driver for Intel SOC's
|
|
On SoCs that have the calibration MSRs available, either there is no
PIT, HPET or PMTIMER to calibrate against, or the PIT/HPET/PMTIMER is
driven from the same clock as the TSC, so calibration is redundant and
just slows down the boot.
TSC rate is caculated by this formula:
<maximum core-clock to bus-clock ratio> * <maximum resolved frequency>
The ratio and the resolved frequency ID can be obtained from MSR.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

During some experiments with an external clock (in a FPGA), we saw that
the TSC clock drifted approx. 2.5ms per second.
This drift was caused by the current way of calculating the scale.
In our case cpu_khz had a value of 3292725. This resulted in a scale
value of 310. But when doing the calculation by hand it shows that the
actual value is 310.9886188491, so a value of 311 would be more precise.
With this change the value is rounded.

Upon resume from hibernation, CPU 0's hvclock area contains the old
values for system_time and tsc_timestamp. It is necessary for the
hypervisor to update these values with uptodate ones before the CPU uses
them.
Abstract TSC's save/restore sched_clock_state functions and use
restore_state to write to KVM_SYSTEM_TIME MSR, forcing an update.
Also move restore_sched_clock_state before __restore_processor_state,
since the later calls CONFIG_LOCK_STAT's lockstat_clock (also for TSC).
Thanks to Igor Mammedov for tracking it down.

While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly
over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC
algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in
tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the
kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently
after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through
the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results.
Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the
platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much
value in refining it.
So for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we
should skip the refined tsc algorithm.
We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is
set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there
own TSC calibration methods.

When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.
We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.
Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario:
a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition.
b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after
returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB
transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution.
c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and
exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB
transition, we are way off because of the SMI. And as the SMI happened
between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the
for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and
quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error.
Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will
see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a
result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in
the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures.
[ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets
disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens
before the ACPI is enabled. ]
To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that
- the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB
change from the PIT (same as before)
- the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed
to *after* the MSB changed.
Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses,
roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get
the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2)
covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to
250ppm precision.
As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50.
SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take
longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will
fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec.
Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to
get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which
direction to correct into, so remove it.
