At least on ARM, do_div() is optimized to turn constant divisors into
an inline multiplication by the reciprocal value at compile time.
However this optimization is missed entirely whenever ktime_divns() is
used and the slow out-of-line division code is used all the time.
Let ktime_divns() use do_div() inline whenever the divisor is constant
and small enough. This will make things like ktime_to_us() and
ktime_to_ms() much faster.

hrtimer_interrupt() has the following subtle issue:
hrtimer_interrupt()
lock(cpu_base);
expires_next = KTIME_MAX;
expire_timers(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
if (expires < expires_next)
expires_next = expires;
expire_timers(CLOCK_REALTIME);
unlock(cpu_base);
wakeup()
hrtimer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, newtimer);
lock(cpu_base();
expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_REALTIME);
if (expires < expires_next)
expires_next = expires;
So because we already evaluated the next expiring timer of
CLOCK_MONOTONIC we ignore that the expiry time of newtimer might be
earlier than the overall next expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt().
To solve this, remove the caching of the next expiry value from
hrtimer_interrupt() and reevaluate all active clock bases for the next
expiry value. To avoid another code duplication, create a shared
evaluation function and use it for hrtimer_get_next_event(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt().
There is another subtlety in this mechanism:
While hrtimer_interrupt() is running, we want to avoid to touch the
hardware device because we will reprogram it anyway at the end of
hrtimer_interrupt(). This works nicely for hrtimers which get rearmed
via the HRTIMER_RESTART mechanism, because we drop out when the
callback on that CPU is running. But that fails, if a new timer gets
enqueued like in the example above.
This has another implication: While hrtimer_interrupt() is running we
refuse remote enqueueing of timers - see hrtimer_interrupt() and
hrtimer_check_target().
hrtimer_interrupt() tries to prevent this by setting cpu_base->expires
to KTIME_MAX, but that fails if a new timer gets queued.
Prevent both the hardware access and the remote enqueue
explicitely. We can loosen the restriction on the remote enqueue now
due to reevaluation of the next expiry value, but that needs a
seperate patch.

Pull NOHZ update from Thomas Gleixner:
"Remove the call into the nohz idle code from the fake 'idle' thread in
the powerclamp driver along with the export of those functions which
was smuggeled in via the thermal tree. People have tried to hack
around it in the nohz core code, but it just violates all rightful
assumptions of that code about the only valid calling context (i.e.
the proper idle task).
The powerclamp trainwreck will still work, it just wont get the

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
tick/powerclamp: Remove tick_nohz_idle abuse
commit 4dbd27711c "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module
use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the
relevant maintainers.
The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements
a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of
wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that
tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself.
Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp
driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards
workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable
and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle
issues lurking around the corner.
The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with
a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this.
So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ
code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

In commit 6067dc5a8c ("time: Avoid possible NTP adjustment
mult overflow") a new check was added to watch for adjustments
that could cause a mult overflow.
Unfortunately the check compares a signed with unsigned value
and ignored the case where the adjustment was negative, which
causes spurious warn-ons on some systems (and seems like it
would result in problematic time adjustments there as well, due
to the early return).
Thus this patch adds a check to make sure the adjustment is
positive before we check for an overflow, and resovles the issue
in my testing.

Ideally, __clocksource_updatefreq_scale, selects the largest shift
value possible for a clocksource. This results in the mult memember of
struct clocksource being particularly large, although not so large
that NTP would adjust the clock to cause it to overflow.
That said, nothing actually prohibits an overflow from occuring, its
just that it "shouldn't" occur.
So while very unlikely, and so far never observed, the value of
(cs->mult+cs->maxadj) may have a chance to reach very near 0xFFFFFFFF,
so there is a possibility it may overflow when doing NTP positive
adjustment
See the following detail: When NTP slewes the clock, kernel goes
through update_wall_time()->...->timekeeping_apply_adjustment():
tk->tkr.mult += mult_adj;
Since there is no guard against it, its possible tk->tkr.mult may
overflow during this operation.
This patch avoids any possible mult overflow by judging the overflow
case before adding mult_adj to mult, also adds the WARNING message
when capturing such case.

ktime_get_real_seconds() is the replacement function for get_seconds()
returning the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME in a time64_t. For
64bit the function is equivivalent to get_seconds(), but for 32bit it
protects the readout with the timekeeper sequence count. This is
required because 32-bit machines cannot access 64-bit tk->xtime_sec

This is the counterpart to get_seconds() based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
use case for this interface are kernel internal coarse grained
timestamps which do neither require the nanoseconds fraction of
current time nor the CLOCK_REALTIME properties. Such timestamps can
currently only retrieved by calling ktime_get_ts64() and using the
tv_sec field of the returned timespec64. That's inefficient as it
involves the read of the clocksource, math operations and must be
protected by the timekeeper sequence counter.
To avoid the sequence counter protection we restrict the return value
to unsigned 32bit on 32bit machines. This covers ~136 years of uptime
and therefor an overflow is not expected to hit anytime soon.
To avoid math in the function we calculate the current seconds portion
of CLOCK_MONOTONIC when the timekeeper gets updated in
tk_update_ktime_data() similar to the CLOCK_REALTIME counterpart
xtime_sec.

Andrey reported that on a kernel with UBSan enabled he found:
UBSan: Undefined behaviour in ../kernel/time/clockevents.c:75:34
I guess it should be 1ULL here instead of 1U:
(!ismax || evt->mult <= (1U << evt->shift)))
That's indeed the correct solution because shift might be 32.

If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll
create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we
use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing
a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize
sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the
size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes
from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires
and we're going to deliver the signal.
Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak.
Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The nohz full functionality depends on IRQ work to trigger its own
interrupts. As it's used to restart the tick, we can't rely on the tick
fallback for irq work callbacks, ie: we can't use the tick to restart
the tick itself.
Lets reject the full dynticks initialization if that arch support isn't
available.
As a side effect, this makes sure that nohz kick is never called from
the tick. That otherwise would result in illegal hrtimer self-cancellation
and lockup.

The nohz full kick, which restarts the tick when any resource depend
on it, can't be executed anywhere given the operation it does on timers.
If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that
we run into a deadlock.
This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make
sure that the kick runs on a virgin context.
However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated
self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't
support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are
also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback.
Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank.
More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the
tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling
an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless
loop:

This way we unbloat a bit main.c and more importantly we initialize
nohz full after init_IRQ(). This dependency will be needed in further
patches because nohz full needs irq work to raise its own IRQ.
Information about the support for this ability on ARM64 is obtained on
init_IRQ() which initialize the pointer to __smp_call_function.
Since tick_init() is called right after init_IRQ(), this is a good place
to call tick_nohz_init() and prepare for that dependency.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's

The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;

Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability
issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a
lock.
The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the
task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and
that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all).
Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being
completely serialized on large systems.
This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and
propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can
be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling
functions.
In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a
lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks
around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime().
This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be
NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b93e)
changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick
API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick
isn't NMI-safe.

In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the
next jiffies.
However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is
in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode
because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some
randomly deferred future.
So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode.
This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable
scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other
hrtimer is pending.

When we reach the end of the tick handler, we unconditionally reschedule
the next tick to the next jiffy. Then on irq exit, the nohz code
overrides that setting if needed and defers the next tick as far away in
the future as possible.
Now in the best dynticks case, when we actually don't need any tick in
the future (ie: expires == KTIME_MAX), low-res and high-res behave
differently. What we want in this case is to cancel the next tick
programmed by the previous one. That's what we do in high-res mode. OTOH
we lack a low-res mode equivalent of hrtimer_cancel() so we simply don't
do anything in this case and the next tick remains scheduled to jiffies + 1.
As a result, in low-res mode, when the dynticks code determines that no
tick is needed in the future, we can recursively get a spurious tick
every jiffy because then the next tick is always reprogrammed from the
tick handler and is never cancelled. And this can happen indefinetly
until some subsystem actually needs a precise tick in the future and only
then we eventually overwrite the previous tick handler setting to defer
the next tick.
We are fixing this by introducing the ONESHOT_STOPPED mode which will
let us pause a clockevent when no further interrupt is needed. Meanwhile
we can't expect all drivers to support this new mode.
So lets reduce much of the symptoms by skipping the nohz-blind tick
rescheduling from the tick-handler when the CPU is in dynticks mode.
That tick rescheduling wrongly assumed periodicity and the low-res
dynticks code can't cancel such decision. This breaks the recursive (and
thus the worst) part of the problem. In the worst case now, we'll get
only one extra tick due to uncancelled tick scheduled before we entered
dynticks mode.
This also removes a needless clockevent write on idle ticks. Since those
clock write are usually considered to be slow, it's a general win.

This patch fixes the problem by properly converting from a timespec64 to

- 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
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.

During suspend we call sched_clock_poll() to update the epoch and
accumulated time and reprogram the sched_clock_timer to fire
before the next wrap-around time. Unfortunately,
sched_clock_poll() doesn't restart the timer, instead it relies
on the hrtimer layer to do that and during suspend we aren't
calling that function from the hrtimer layer. Instead, we're
reprogramming the expires time while the hrtimer is enqueued,
which can cause the hrtimer tree to be corrupted. Furthermore, we
restart the timer during suspend but we update the epoch during
resume which seems counter-intuitive.
Let's fix this by saving the accumulated state and canceling the
timer during suspend. On resume we can update the epoch and
restart the timer similar to what we would do if we were starting
the clock for the first time.

By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.
This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.
This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.
This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.

The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.
Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.
The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.
Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.
1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.
2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.
This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.
Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.

In the GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD update_vsyscall implementation,
we take the tk_xtime() value, which returns a timespec64, and
store it in a timespec.
This luckily is ok, since the only architectures that use
GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD are ia64 and ppc64, which are both
64 bit systems where timespec64 is the same as a timespec.
Even so, for cleanliness reasons, use the conversion function
to assign the proper type.

Tracers want a correlated time between the kernel instrumentation and
user space. We really do not want to export sched_clock() to user
space, so we need to provide something sensible for this.
Using separate data structures with an non blocking sequence count
based update mechanism allows us to do that. The data structure
required for the readout has a sequence counter and two copies of the
timekeeping data.
On the update side:
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[0], tk);
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[1], tk);
On the reader side:
do {
seq = tkf->seq;
smp_rmb();
idx = seq & 0x01;
now = now(tkf->base[idx]);
smp_rmb();
} while (seq != tkf->seq)
So if a NMI hits the update of base[0] it will use base[1] which is
still consistent, but this timestamp is not guaranteed to be monotonic
across an update.
The timestamp is calculated by:
now = base_mono + clock_delta * slope
So if the update lowers the slope, readers who are forced to the
not yet updated second array are still using the old steeper slope.
tmono
^
| o n
| o n
| u
| o
|o
|12345678---> reader order
o = old slope
u = update
n = new slope
So reader 6 will observe time going backwards versus reader 5.
While other CPUs are likely to be able observe that, the only way
for a CPU local observation is when an NMI hits in the middle of
the update. Timestamps taken from that NMI context might be ahead
of the following timestamps. Callers need to be aware of that and
deal with it.

Access to time requires to touch two cachelines at minimum
1) The timekeeper data structure
2) The clocksource data structure
The access to the clocksource data structure can be avoided as almost
all clocksource implementations ignore the argument to the read
callback, which is a pointer to the clocksource.
But the core needs to touch it to access the members @read and @mask.
So we are better off by copying the @read function pointer and the
@mask from the clocksource to the core data structure itself.
For the most used ktime_get() access all required data including the
@read and @mask copies fits together with the sequence counter into a
single 64 byte cacheline.
For the other time access functions we touch in the current code three
cache lines in the worst case. But with the clocksource data copies we
can reduce that to two adjacent cachelines, which is more efficient
than disjunct cache lines.

cycle_last was added to the clocksource to support the TSC
validation. We moved that to the core code, so we can get rid of the
extra copy.

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

We want to move the TSC sanity check into core code to make NMI safe
accessors to clock monotonic[_raw] possible. For this we need to
sanity check the delta calculation. Create a helper function and
convert all sites to use it.

timekeeping_clocktai() is not used in fast pathes, so the extra

Subtracting plain nsec values and converting to timespec is simpler
than the whole timespec math. Not really fastpath code, so the
division is not an issue.

The ktime_t based interfaces are used a lot in performance critical
code pathes. Add ktime_t based data so the interfaces don't have to
convert from the xtime/timespec based data.
