[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked.

With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

[PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick length This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

[PATCH] kill wall_jiffies With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem) Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL.
