2012-09-28time/jiffies: bring back unconditional LATCH definitionArnd Bergmann
Patch a7ea3bbf5d "time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefined" breaks the compilation of targets that rely on the LATCH definition, because of recursive header file inclusion not defining CLOCK_TICK_RATE before it is checked here. This fixes the problem by moving LATCH back to where it was, but it seems that there are still cases where SHIFTED_HZ is defined incorrectly because of the same problem. Need to investigate further. Without this patch, building h7201_defconfig results in: arch/arm/mach-h720x/common.c: In function 'h720x_gettimeoffset': arch/arm/mach-h720x/common.c:50:73: error: 'LATCH' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/arm/mach-h720x/common.c:50:73: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in arch/arm/mach-h720x/common.c:51:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2012-09-24jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATEJohn Stultz
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how a tick will be at a given HZ. This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ, the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit, so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second. This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources. Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error. Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very early during boot, there are a number of cases where there are different possible hardware timers that have different tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where there are numerous different types of hardware, each having their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to accurately support different hardware with a single kernel. For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources who's granularity error is negligable. Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do everywhere to handle these edge cases. This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified dynamically at boot. This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock. NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies() calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of setup_arch() should resolve the regression: register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

2012-08-09time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescueEric Dumazet
Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed in clock_t units. This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed to jiffies_to_clock_t(). This function has an overflow in : return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ); commit cbbc719fccdb8cb (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long) only got around the problem. As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

2012-07-31time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefinedCatalin Marinas
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a legacy constant that defines the timer device's granularity. On hardware with particularly coarse granularity, this constant is used to reduce accumulated time error when using jiffies as a clocksource, by calculating the hardware's actual tick length rather then just assuming it is 1sec/HZ. However, for the most part this is unnecessary, as most modern systems don't use jiffies for their clocksource, and their tick device is sufficiently fine grained to avoid major error. Thus, this patch allows an architecture to not define CLOCK_TICK_RATE, in which case ACTHZ defaults to (HZ << 8).

Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some problems: - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days. - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument is set, assuming that input was negative value. So it cannot convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too. This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as unsigned.

2008-12-23optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach
Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.

2008-05-01remove div_long_long_remRoman Zippel
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.

2007-10-16slow down printk during bootRandy Dunlap
Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

2007-10-09Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffiesFabio Olive Leite
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result, causing incorrect assumptions of validity. 2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense). Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after. This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period and another full 2^31 range of jiffies. In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server: Initial uptime: 03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07 NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced: 03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08 # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar # touch /local/A/foo/bar # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows the old value.

The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64 (unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work. On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64() will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by 64bit jiffies.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
