2012-07-11timekeeping: Provide hrtimer update functionThomas Gleixner
To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

2012-07-11hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed()John Stultz
clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

2011-05-23hrtimers: Reorder clock basesThomas Gleixner
The ordering of the clock bases is historical due to the CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC constants. Now the hrtimer bases have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't skip over a full cache line.

Peter is concerned about the extra scan of CLOCK_REALTIME_COS in the timer interrupt. Yes, I did not think about it, because the solution was so elegant. I didn't like the extra list in timerfd when it was proposed some time ago, but with a rcu based list the list walk it's less horrible than the original global lock, which was held over the list iteration.

2011-05-02timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was setThomas Gleixner
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we don't have an interface. Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are expired whenever the clock was set. The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

2011-02-21timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer baseJohn Stultz
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware, but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME (which might jump around if settimeofday is called). For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME. CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time spent in suspend. This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow in kernel users to set timers against.

The hrtimer code is written mainly with CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC in mind. These are clockids 0 and 1 resepctively. However, if we are to introduce any new hrtimer bases, using new clockids, we have to skip the cputimers (clockids 2,3) as well as other clockids that may not impelement timers. This patch adds a little bit of indirection between the clockid and the base, so that we can extend the base by one when we add a new clockid at number 7 or so.

2009-12-10hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logicThomas Gleixner
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the execution time of the hrtimer callbacks. This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some fields in the corresponding struct timer_list. So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled.

2009-05-13timers: Framework for identifying pinned timersArun R Bharadwaj
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]: This patch creates a new framework for identifying cpu-pinned timers and hrtimers. This framework is needed because pinned timers are expected to fire on the same CPU on which they are queued. So it is essential to identify these and not migrate them, in case there are any. For regular timers, the currently existing add_timer_on() can be used queue pinned timers and subsequently mod_timer_pinned() can be used to modify the 'expires' field. For hrtimers, new modes HRTIMER_ABS_PINNED and HRTIMER_REL_PINNED are added to queue cpu-pinned hrtimer.

It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired timers to softirq context. This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup. It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really needed.

2008-11-25hrtimer: removing all ur callback modesPeter Zijlstra
Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was called directly.

This patch adds a set of accessors for this purpose: * hrtimer_set_expires * hrtimer_set_expires_tv64 * hrtimer_add_expires * hrtimer_add_expires_ns * hrtimer_get_expires * hrtimer_get_expires_tv64 * hrtimer_get_expires_ns * hrtimer_expires_remaining * hrtimer_start_expires No users of these new accessors are added yet; these follow in later patches. Hopefully this patch can even go into 2.6.27-rc so that the conversions will not have a bottleneck in -next Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
2008-09-05select: Introduce a hrtimeout functionArjan van de Ven
This patch adds a schedule_hrtimeout() function, to be used by select() and poll() in a later patch. This function works similar to schedule_timeout() in most ways, but takes a timespec rather than jiffies.
