Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with
the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also
caused the irqoff self tests to fail.
What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and
before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad
delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.
The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.
On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies
(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have
correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the
jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving
forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.
The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then
the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind
since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock
forward by several jiffies.
This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off
latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.
This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the
maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check
when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

In case a cpu goes idle but softirqs are pending only an error message is
printed to the console. It may take a very long time until the pending
softirqs will finally be executed. Worst case would be a hanging system.
With this patch the timer tick just continues and the softirqs will be
executed after the next interrupt. Still a delay but better than a
hanging system.
Currently we have at least two device drivers on s390 which under certain
circumstances schedule a tasklet from process context. This is a reason
why we can end up with pending softirqs when going idle. Fixing these
drivers seems to be non-trivial.
However there is no question that the drivers should be fixed.
This patch shouldn't be considered as a bug fix. It just is intended to
keep a system running even if device drivers are buggy.

C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to
now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops
when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high
resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based
laptops.
The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw
as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module
is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.
To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle
function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the
Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting
for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.

Remove the leap second handling from second_overflow(), which doesn't have to
check for it every second anymore. With CONFIG_NO_HZ this also makes sure the
leap second is handled close to the full second. Additionally this makes it
possible to abort a leap second properly by resetting the STA_INS/STA_DEL
status bits.

time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this
makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT.
Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the
primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.

This changes time_freq to a 64bit value and makes it static (the only outside
user had no real need to modify it). Intermediate values were already 64bit,
so the change isn't that big, but it saves a little in shifts by replacing
SHIFT_NSEC with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT. PPM_SCALE is then used to convert between
user space and kernel space representation.

This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space.
It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO
and the kernel reports in which mode it works (pll/fll).
If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now
simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail. I removed
MOD_CLKA/MOD_CLKB as the mapping didn't really makes any sense, the kernel
doesn't support setting the clock.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a
fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build.
I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed

We already catch most of the TSC problems by sanity checks, but there
is a subtle bug which has been in the code forever. This can cause
time jumps in the range of hours.
This was reported in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96
and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23
I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a
dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized
TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the
kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still
there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed
with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this
with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this
might be observable with the syscall based version as well.
CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and
CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right
after the seqlock was unlocked.
The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and
the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference
data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned
subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm
can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like
pm timer.
The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which
is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1
will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the
reference value.
To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value
against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger
than the actual TSC value.
I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than
the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast
clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes -
I'm nervous about this causing include loops.
However, there's a separate point to be discussed here.
That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel.
If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then
that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h
rather than linux/irq.h.
So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a
couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity()
to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h
and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be
rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context
registers.)
Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform
kernels which both use genirq.

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405
While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.
The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).
This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.
This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.
For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The
idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a
synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will
not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine
with this patch.
This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for
several months.

I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.
Version: 2.6.24-rc2,
File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
struct clocksource *src;
char *curr = buf;
spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
}
spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");
return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.
I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)
Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()

To allow better diagnosis of tick-sched related, especially NOHZ
related problems, we need to know when the last wakeup via an irq
happened and when the CPU left the idle state.
Add two fields (idle_waketime, idle_exittime) to the tick_sched
structure and add them to the timer_list output.

Current idle time in kstat is based on jiffies and is coarse grained.
tick_sched.idle_sleeptime is making some attempt to keep track of idle time
in a fine grained manner. But, it is not handling the time spent in
interrupts fully.
Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spent on
handling interrupts and also add tick_sched.idle_lastupdate, which keeps
track of last time when idle_sleeptime was updated.
This statistics will be crucial for cpufreq-ondemand governor, which can
shed some conservative gaurd band that is uses today while setting the
frequency. The ondemand changes that uses the exact idle time is coming
soon.

I recently noticed on one of my boxes that when synched with an NTP
server, the drift value reported for the system was ~283ppm. While in
some cases, clock hardware can be that bad, it struck me as unusual as
the system was using the acpi_pm clocksource, which is one of the more
trustworthy and accurate clocksources on x86 hardware.
I brought up another system and let it sync to the same NTP server, and
I noticed a similar 280some ppm drift.
In looking at the code, I found that the acpi_pm's constant frequency
was being computed correctly at boot-up, however once the system was up,
even without the ntp daemon running, the clocksource's frequency was
being modified by the clocksource_adjust() function.
Digging deeper, I realized that in the code that keeps track of how much
the clocksource is skewing from the ntp desired time, we were using
different lengths to establish how long an time interval was.
The clocksource was being setup with the following interval:
NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH = NSEC_PER_SEC/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ
While the ntp code was using the tick_length_base value:
tick_length_base ~= (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ)
/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ
The subtle difference is:
(tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) != NSEC_PER_SEC
This difference in calculation was causing the clocksource correction
code to apply a correction factor to the clocksource so the two
intervals were the same, however this results in the actual frequency of
the clocksource to be made incorrect. I believe this difference would
affect all clocksources, although to differing degrees depending on the
clocksource resolution.
The issue was introduced when my HZ free ntp patch landed in 2.6.21-rc1,
so my apologies for the mistake, and for not noticing it until now.
The following patch, corrects the clocksource's initialization code so
it uses the same interval length as the code in ntp.c. After applying
this patch, the drift value for the same system went from ~283ppm to
only 2.635ppm.
I believe this patch to be good, however it does affect all arches and
I've only tested on x86, so some caution is advised. I do think it would
be a likely candidate for a stable 2.6.24.x release.
Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.
